During a collision, a bus runs into a skateboarder inelastically. If the mass of the skateboarders is 70 kg and is moving at 12

m/s to the right, what is the final velocity of the skateboarder if the 2000 kg bus is traveling at 25 m/s to the left before the collision?

The final velocity of the skateboarder is 23.75 m/s.

We can use conservation of momentum to calculate the magnitude of the final velocity.

Momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v

here, v is final velocity of the skateboarder, assuming right side velocity as positive, and left side velocity as negative.

70*12+2000*(-25)=(70+2000)v

v=-23.75 m/s

Here, negative sign indicates that both skyboarder and bus will move in left direction.

A long pipe of outer radius R 1 = 3.70 cm and inner radius R 2 = 3.15 cm carries a uniform charge density of 1.22 mC/m 3 . Assum
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

E = 4.72 * 10⁻⁶ Nm²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Outer radius, R = 3.70cm = 0.037m

Inner radius, r = 3.15cm = 0.0315m

Permittivity of free space, ε₀ = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C/Nm²

Charge density: 1.22 * 10⁻³ C/m³

The question requires that we solve using Gauss law which states that the net electric field through a closed surface is proportional to the enclosed electric charge.

Hence,

E = Q/Aε₀

Charge Q is given as

Q = ρπ(R² ⁻ r²)L

A = 2π(R - r)L

E = [ρπ(R² ⁻ r²)L]/[2π(R - r)ε₀L]

Using difference of two squares,

(R² ⁻ r²) = (R + r)(R - r)

E =[ρ(R + r)]/(2ε₀)

E = [1.22 * 10⁻³ *(0.0370 + 0.0315)]/(2 * 8.85 * 10⁻¹²)

E = 4.72 * 10⁻⁶ Nm²

A flywheel of mass M is rotating about a vertical axis with angular velocity ω0. A second flywheel of mass M/5 is not rotating a
Contact [7]

Answer:

0.83 ω

Explanation:

mass of flywheel, m = M

initial angular velocity of the flywheel, ω = ωo

mass of another flywheel, m' = M/5

radius of both the flywheels = R

let the final angular velocity of the system is ω'

Moment of inertia of the first flywheel , I = 0.5 MR²

Moment of inertia of the second flywheel, I' = 0.5 x M/5 x R² = 0.1 MR²

use the conservation of angular momentum as no external torque is applied on the system.

I x ω = ( I + I') x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = (0.5 MR² + 0.1 MR²) x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = 0.6 MR² x ω'

ω' = 0.83 ω

Thus, the final angular velocity of the system of flywheels is 0.83 ω.

What force must be applied to move a 251 kg rock on a pavement like surface
Alchen [17]

If the rock is just sitting there and you want to SLIDE it, then you have to push it with a force of at least

(251 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (μ) =

(2,459 Newtons) x (the coefficient of static friction on that surface)

-<br> ZOOLS<br> 6) The mass of a motorcycle is 250 kg. What is?<br> A) Its weight on Earth in Newtons?<br> B) Its weight on the
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Weight is actually a force. A force can change depending on its location. A mass remains constant no matter where it is.

A)

F = m * a

m = 250 kg

a = 9.81 m/s^2

F = 250 * 9.81 = 2452.5 N

B)

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 what it is on earth. You can check its value in your notes.

a = 9.81 + (1/6) = 1.635

m = 250

F = 250 * 1.635

F = 408.75

C)

The mass is the same anywhere in the universe.

250 kg
