A 3 kg toy car with a speed of 7 m/s collides head-on with a 2 kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 5 m/s.

If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 2.20 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?

Answers:

kinetic energy lost = 86.4J

Explanation:

let Kf be the kinetic energy after the collision and Ki be the kinetic energy before the collision. let the 3kg car be 1 and 2kg car be 2.

Kf = K1(f) + K2(f)

Ki = K1(i) + k2(i)

loss in kinetic energy = Kf - Ki

                                 = 1/2(3)(2.20)^2 + 1/2(2)(2.20)^2 - 1/2(3)(7)^2 - 1/2(2)(-5)^2

                                 = 12.1 - 98.5

                                 = -86.4 J

therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 86.4 J.

An Airbus A320 jetliner has a takeoff mass of 75,000 kg. It reaches its takeoff speed of 82 m/s (180 mph) in 35 s. What is the t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

175.5 kN

Explanation:

We find the acceleration of the Airbus A320 jetliner from,

a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity of jetliner = 0 m/s (since it starts from rest), v = final velocity of jetliner = 82 m/s and t = time for velocity change = 35 s

So a = (v - u)/t = (82 m/s - 0 m/s)/35 s = 82 m/s ÷ 35 s = 2.34 m/s²

Now, the thrust of the engines on the jetliner T = ma where m = mass of jetliner = 75,000 kg and a = acceleration of jetliner = 2.34 m/s²

T = ma

= 75,000 kg × 2.34 m/s²

= 175500 N

= 175.5 kN

slega [8]

Answer:

\epsilon = 2.96 \times 10^{-11} \ V

Explanation:

given,

magnetic field strength =  1.40 ✕ 10⁻³ T

frequency of oscillation = 60 Hz

diameter of RBC = 7.5 μm

EMF = ?

\epsilon = NBA\omega

\epsilon = NB(\pi\ r^2)\ (2\pi f)

\epsilon = NB(\pi\ (\dfrac{d}{2})^2)\ (2\pi f)

\epsilon = (1)\ 1.4 \times 10^{-3}(\pi\ (\dfrac{7.5 \times 10^{-6}}{2})^2)\ (2\pi\times 60)

\epsilon = 2.96 \times 10^{-11} \ V

maximum emf that can generate around the perimeter of the cell \epsilon = 2.96 \times 10^{-11} \ V
