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.

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.
svlad2 [7]
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then 
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49 
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu
Ronch [10]

Answer:

i_2=3.61\ A

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

q, q_1, q_2 = charge of the capacitor in any time t, t_1, t_2

q_o = initial charge of the capacitor

\omega=angular frequency of the circuit

i, i_1, i_2 = current through the circuit in any time t, t_1, t_2

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )

The current is the derivative of the charge

\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).

We are given

q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}

It means that

q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]

i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]

From eq 1:

\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}

From eq 2:

\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1

Operating

\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for q_o

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}

Now we know the value of q_0, we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time t_2, and solve for i_2

\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for i_2

\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz

w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}

q_0=0.01166\ c

Finally

\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}

i_2=5\ A

A person measures his or her heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30s. If 40±1 beats are counted in 30.0±0.5s, what is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Explanation:

Number of heart beats = 40 \pm 1

time taken = 30.0 \pm 0.5 s

now we have

N = 40 \pm 2.5%

t = 30.0 \pm 1.67%

now rate of heart beat is defined as number of heart beat per unit of time

so we have

Rate = \frac{N}{t}

Rate = \frac{40 \pm 2.5}{30 \pm 1.67}

so we have

Rate = 1.33 \pm (2.5 + 1.67 )

Rate = 1.33 \pm 4.17%

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second
