-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.

-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.

-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.

-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.

Assume that the stopping distance of a van varies directly with the square of the speed. A van traveling 40 miles per hour can s

Daniel [21]

Answer:

d = 100.8 ft

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the van is 40 miles then the stopping distance is given as 70 feet

here we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad$

so here we have

$0^2 - 40^2 = 2 a (70 feet)$

now again if the speed is increased to 48 mph then let say the stopping distance is "d"

so we will have

$0^2 - 48^2 = 2 a (d)$

now divide the above two equations

$\frac{40^2}{48^2} = \frac{70 feet}{d}$

$d = 100.8 ft$

A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

$(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}$

Solving for $V_{ft}$ :

$V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s$

Changed to cm/s, we get:

$V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s$

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = $\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2$

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2$

$K_i = 22.06 J$

And the final K is:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = 19.61 J$

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J
