A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13.0 m/s in the same direction. If th

e second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

14.04 m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity of the first car after the collision, we can use the equation of conservation of momentum:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

We have the following data:

m1 = m1' = 328,

m2 = m2' = 790,

v1 = 19.1,

v2 = 13,

v2' = 15.1.

Using this data, we can find v1' (final velocity of the first car):

328 * 19.1 + 790 * 13 = 328 * v1' + 790 * 15.1

16534.8 = 328 * v1' + 11929

328 * v1' = 4605.8

v1' = 14.04 m/s

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point

vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

$v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s$

$\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m$

Therefore the frequency would be given as

$f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}$

$f = 57.14Hz$

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi *57.14$

$\omega = 359.03rad/s$

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

$V_{max} = A\omega$

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

$V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)$

$V_{max} = 3.59m/s$

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A bus contains a 1440 kg flywheel (a disk that has a 0.63 m radius) and has a total mass of 10200 kg. Calculate the angular velo

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: $\omega =93.51 rad/s$

Explanation:

Given

mass of Flywheel $m_1=1440 kg$

mass of bus $m_b=10200 kg$

radius of Flywheel $r=0.63 m$

final speed of bus $v=21 m/s$

Conserving Energy i.e.

0.9(Rotational Energy of Flywheel)= change in Kinetic Energy of bus

Let $\omega$ be the angular velocity of Flywheel

$0.9\cdot \frac{I\omega ^2}{2}=\frac{m_bv^2}{2}$

$I=moment\ of\ Inertia =mr^2=1440\cdot 0.63^2=571.536 kg-m^2$

$0.9\cdot \frac{571.536\cdot \omega ^2}{2}=\frac{10200\cdot 21^2}{2}$

$\omega ^2=21^2\times \frac{10200}{0.9\times 571.536}$

$\omega =21\times 4.45=93.51 rad/s$

A 27 kg bear slides, from rest, 14 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 6.1 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Nadusha1986 [10]

<h2>Thus the force of friction is 235 N</h2>

Explanation:

When the bear was at the height of 14 m . Its potential energy = m g h

here m is the mass of bear , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height .

Thus P.E = 27 x 10 x 14 = 3780 J

The K.E of the bear just before hitting = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 27 x ( 6.1 )² = 490 J

The force of friction f = P.E - K.E = 3290 J

Because the work done = Force x Distance

Thus frictional force = $\frac{3290}{14}$ = 235 N
