In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling

in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 3.5 m/s and that of the trailing car is 6.4 m/s. Hint Assuming that the mass of the drivers is much, much less than that of the bumper cars, what are their final speeds

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>

explain how a mutation in an individual's DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individual's traits.
zysi [14]
A mutation in the DNA ca happen during growth, when the DNA splits and becomes RNA. Mutations can also occur from other invasive cells, such as bacteria or viruses. A mutation in your DNA can also be there from when you were born. These mutations can cause variations in your appearance, such as eye color, ability to see, taste, smell and the complexion of your face. The mutations can also result in variations in your growth, causing immature or late growth. These mutations are dangerous, and can result in failure of the organisms cells , to complete and utter death of an organism.

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

Ceiling fan is a perfect and typical example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

In most systems, energy is usually transformed from one form to another. Energy is not created neither is it destroyed. We know this by virtue of law of conservation of energy.

  • The ceiling fan is powered by electrical energy from an outlet.
  • The energy from the outlet is used to drive the blades of the fan and set them into motion.
  • This is mechanical energy.

Determine the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam. E = 200 gpa and i = 65. 0(106) mm4
DENIUS [597]

For E = 200 gpa and i = 65. 0(106) mm4,  the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam  is mathematically given as

A=0.0048rads

<h3>What is the slope of end a of the cantilevered beam?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the   is mathematically given as

A=\frac{PL^2}{2EI}+\frac{ML}{EI}

Therefore

A=\frac{10+10^2+3^2}{2*240*10^9*65*10^6}+\frac{10+10^3*3}{240*10^9*65*10^{-6}}

A=0.00288+0.00192=0.0048rads

A=0.0048rads

In conclusion,  the slope is

A=0.0048rads

salantis [7]

Answer:

A. Time Division multiple Access (TDMA)

Explanation:

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks

It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot.

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1790 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.36 m/s. After being pa
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of the ambulance, f = 1790 Hz

Frequency at the cyclist, f' = 1780 Hz

Speed of the cyclist, v₀ = 2.36 m/s

let the velocity of the ambulance be 'vₓ'

Now,

the Doppler effect is given as:

f'=f\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_x}

where, v is the speed of sound

since the ambulance is moving towards the cyclist. thus, the sign will be positive

thus,

v_x=\frac{f}{f'}(v+v_o)-v

on substituting the values, we get

v_x=\frac{1790}{1780}(343+2.36)-343

or

vₓ = 4.30 m/s

Hence, <u>the speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s</u>
