Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = 1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.

A mine car (mass=390 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 250-kg chunk of coal has a
Nady [450]

Answer:

v=0.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m ₁= 390 kg ,u ₁= 0.5 m/s

m₂ = 250 kg ,u₂ = 0.76 m/s

As we know that if there is no any external force on the system the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m ₁u ₁+m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m ₁ ) v

Now putting the values in the above equation

390 x 0.5 + 250 x 0.76 = (390 + 250 ) v

v=\dfrac{390\times 0.5+250\times 0.76}{390+250}\ m/s

v=0.60 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the system will be 0.6 m/s.

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Two tuning forks, 254 Hz. and 260 Hz., are struck simultaneously. How many beats will be heard?
Lisa [10]

The longer you continue to listen, the more beats will be heard.

They'll occur at the rate of (260Hz - 254Hz) = 6 Hz .
