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>

Block A is also connected to a horizontally-mounted spring with a spring constant of 281 J/m2. What is the angular frequency (in
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula to be used here is

ω = 2π/T

Where ω is the angular frequency (in rad/s)

T is the period - the time taken for Block A to complete one oscillation and return to it's original position.

To solve for this period T, the formula below should be used

T = 2π√m/k

where m is the mass of the object (Block A) and k is the spring constant (281 J/m²)

What happens to the convection fluid as it heats up? How might this relate to masses of heated air?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The convection process plays an important role in the liquid. Due to the increasing heat supply or high amount of temperature, the fluid gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm, less dense and eventually rises up forming convection cells.

In the interior of the earth, the hot molten rocks get heated up due to the heat supplied by the core of the earth. This makes the magma warm and less dense and rises upward forming convection currents in the mantle.

This convection process is similar to the convection cells that form in the atmosphere, where the hot, less dense air rises up in the atmosphere forming a low-pressure zone. This uprising air forms convection cells, in which the warm air rises and as it rises high in the atmosphere, the temperature becomes low, making the air cold and it eventually sinks.
