Bambi is walking along the train tracks when he suddenly notices a fast approaching train and freezes in his tracks like a deer

in headlights. IF the 1000kg train collides with Bambi at a speed of 8 m/s, and Bambi, who weighs 75kg, gets stuck to the front of the train, how fast will the train and Bambi continue to move after the collision

Answer:

The final speed of the train and Bambi after collision is 7.44 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the train, m₁ = 1000kg

mass of  Bambi, m₂ = 75kg

initial speed of the train, u₁ =  8 m/s

initial speed of Bambi, u₂ =  0 m/s

If Bambi gets stuck to the front of the train, then the collision is inelastic.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final speed of the train and Bambi after collision

Substitute the given values and solve for v

1000 x 8 + 75 x 0 = v (1000 + 75)

8000 = v (1075)

v = 8000/1075

v = 7.44 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the train and Bambi after collision is 7.44 m/s

All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum at the speed of c=3×10^8 m/s. Find the wavelength of microwaves of frequency 10^10 Hz
erica [24]
Recall the wave equation, c=f\lambda where c is the speed of the wave (m/s), f is the frequency of the wave (Hz) and λ is the wavelength of the wave (m).

c=f\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda =  \frac{c}{f} so \lambda =  \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^{10}} = 0.03 \text{m}

The statement "Good locations for turbines are limited" describes a drawback to wind energy.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wind energy is one of the most useful and efficient renewable energy sources. But nothing is ideal in this universe and the same thing applies for wind energy also. The generation of electricity from wind energy requires setting up of turbines.

And these turbines can be set up in plane areas which is free from any disturbance except wind flow. In open area and flat plane surface only the turbines can rotate freely with the effect of wind.

But regions where the wind flow is minimum due to snow formation like the northern region of earth, the turbines cannot be set up there. So the locations for setting up of turbines are limited for good outcome in wind energy. This is one of the drawback of wind energy.

A uniform rod of length 0.8 m and mass 1.4 kg, has two point masses at each end. The point mass on the left end has a mass 1.2 k
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.2(0) + 3(0.8) + 1.4(0.8/2) / (1.2 + 3 + 1.4) = 0.5285714... ≈ 0.53 m

Suppose that in a lightning flash the potential difference between a cloud and the ground is 0.96×109 V and the quantity of char
Dvinal [7]

(a) 2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

The change in energy of the transferred charge is given by:

\Delta U = q \Delta V

where

q is the charge transferred

\Delta V is the potential difference between the ground and the clouds

Here we have

q=31 C

\Delta V = 0.96\cdot 10^9 V

So the change in energy is

\Delta U = (31 C)(0.96\cdot 10^9 V)=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

(b) 7921 m/s

If the energy released is used to accelerate the car from rest, than its final kinetic energy would be

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 950 kg is the mass of the car

v is the final speed of the car

Here the energy given to the car is

K=2.98\cdot 10^{10} J

Therefore by re-arranging the equation, we find the final speed of the car:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.98\cdot 10^{10})}{950}}=7921 m/s
