Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity is approximately 11.45 units

Explanation:

Since they give us the x and y components of the vector velocity, we can find its magnitude via the Pythagorean theorem:

$|v|=\sqrt{9.5^2+(-6.4)^2} \approx 11.45$

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa

NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

$mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f$

$V_1+3V_2=4V_f$ and making $V_f$ the subject then

$V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4}$ and since $V_1$ is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, $V_2$ is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and $v_f$ is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

$V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s$

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ$

Final kinetic energy is given by

$\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ$

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

A 1200 Kg car rounds a corner of radius r = 45m. If the coefficient of static friction between the ties and the road is us = 0.8

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The greatest speed of the car is 19.36m/s

Explanation:

The maximum speed the car will attain without skidding is given by:

F= uN = umg ...eq1

But F = mv^2/r

mv^2/r = umg

Dividing both sides by m, leaves you with:

V= Sqrt(ugr)

Where u = coefficient of static friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = raduis

Given:

U = 0.82

r=0.82

g= 9.8m/s

V = Sqrt(0.82 × 9.8 × 45)

V = Sqrt(374.85)

V = 19.36m/s

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes

geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

$V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega$

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes 16000 ohms of resistance.
