A 50-kg toboggan is coasting on level snow. As it passes beneath a bridge, a 20-kg parcel is dropped straight down and lands in

the toboggan. If KE1 is the original kinetic energy of the toboggan and KE2 is the kinetic energy after the parcel has been added, what is the ratio KE2/KE1

Answer:

KE2/KE1=0.71

Explanation:

By conservation of the linear momentum:

m1*V1 = (m1+m2)*V2

Solving for V2:

V2 = \frac{m1}{m1+m2}*V1

The kinetic energies are:

KE1=1/2*m1*V1^2

KE2 = 1/2*(m1+m2)*V2^2

KE2 = 1/2*(m1+m2)*(\frac{m1}{m1+m2}*V1)^2

Simplifying:

KE2 = 1/2*\frac{m1^2}{m1+m2}*V1^2

The ratio will be:

KE2/KE1=\frac{1/2*\frac{m1^2}{m1+m2}*V1^2}{1/2*m1*V1^2} =\frac{m1}{m1+m2}

KE2/KE1=0.71

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.

Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d=107m, and take the car's mass as m-1400kg, its
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Let let the frictional force needed be F

Work done by frictional force = kinetic energy of car

F x 107 = 1/2 x 1400 x 35²

F = 8014 N

b )

maximum possible static friction

= μ mg

where μ is coefficient of static friction

= .5 x 1400 x 9.8

= 6860 N

c )

work done by friction for μ = .4

= .4 x 1400 x 9.8 x 107

= 587216 J

Initial Kinetic energy

= .5 x 1400 x 35 x 35

= 857500 J

Kinetic energy at the at of collision

= 857500 - 587216

= 270284 J

So , if v be the velocity at the time of collision

1/2 mv² = 270284

v = 19.65 m /s

d ) centripetal force required

= mv₀² / d which will be provided by frictional force

= (1400 x 35 x 35) / 107

= 16028 N

Maximum frictional force possible

= μmg

= .5 x 1400 x 9.8

= 6860 N

So this is not possible.
