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>

In a closed system, what happens to the total energy of the system as energy conversion takes place?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.

Allushta [10]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's law written in equation as:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electrical force
k is a constant equal to 9×10⁹ 
Q₁ and Q₂ are the charge of the two objects
d is the distance between the two objects

Substituting the values:

F = (9×10⁹)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)(-22×10⁻⁹ C)/(0.10 m)²
F = 0.0004356 N
