Answer:

The rear wagon gains the kinetic energy, but the front wagon will remain at rest.

The two-wagon system will gain a kinetic energy \dfrac{1}{16} of the kinetic energy gained by the rear wagon.

Explanation:

Let's consider that the masses of the wagons to be 'M'. When the child pushes the rear wagon let's assume that the velocity of the rear wagon be 'v'.

Therefor the kinetic energy gained by the rear wagon be K_{r} = \frac{1}{2}Mv^{2}.

Now let's assume that the velocity of the centre of mass (C), as shown in the figure, be 'V'. So from momentum conservation law we can write,

&& Mv = (M + M)V\\\\&or,& V = \frac{v}{2}

Now the centre of mass (M_{C}) is given by

M_{C} = \frac{M \times M}{M + M} = \frac{M}{2}

So the kinetic energy (K_{C}) of the system will be

K_{C} = \frac{1}{2}M_{C}V^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{M}{2}(\frac{v}{2})^{2} = \frac{1}{16}Mv^{2}

This question is incomplete, the missing image uploaded along this answer below;

Answer:

a) frequency is 2.381 Hz

b) the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

Explanation:

Given that;

cross sectional Area A = 0.018 m²

Number of turns N = 200

from the diagram. maximum time T = 0.42 sec

a) the frequency f of the generator in hertz

frequency = 1 / T

we substitute

frequency = 1 / 0.42 = 2.381 Hz

Therefore, frequency is 2.381 Hz

b)  the angular frequency in rad/s

angular speed ω = 2πf

we substitute

ω = 2π × 2.381

ω = 14.96 rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency/speed is 14.96 rad/s

c) the magnitude of the magnetic field.

to determine the magnitude of the magnetic field, we use the following expression;

e = NBAω

from the diagram, e = 28.0 V

so we substitute

28.0 V = 200 × B × 0.018 × 14.96

28 = 53.856B

B = 28 / 53.856

B = 0.5199 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.5199 T

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005
