A truck with a mass of 1370 kg and moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s rear-ends a 593 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collis

ion is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second.

Answer:

speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

mass of truck M = 1370 kg

speed of truck = 12.0 m/s

mass of car m = 593 kg

collision is elastic therefore,

Applying law of momentum conservation we have

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

1370×12 + 0( initially car is at rest) = 1370×v1+ 593×v2 ....(i)

Also for a collision to be elastic,

velocity of approach = velocity of separation

12 -0 = v2-v1 ....(ii)

using (i) and (ii) we have

So speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

A 290-turn solenoid having a length of 32 cm and a diameter of 11 cm carries a current of 0.30 A. Calculate the magnitude of the

iris [78.8K]

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 3.4×10^(-4) T.

To find the answer, we need to know about the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

<h3>What's the expression of magnetic field inside a solenoid?</h3>

Mathematically, the expression of magnetic field inside the solenoid= μ₀×n×I

n = no. of turns per unit length and I = current through the solenoid

<h3>What's is the magnetic field inside the solenoid here?</h3>

Here, n = 290/32cm or 290/0.32 = 906

I= 0.3 A

So, Magnetic field= 4π×10^(-7)×906×0.3 = 3.4×10^(-4) T.

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 3.4×10^(-4) T.

A 615.00 kg race car is uniformly traveling around a circular race track. It takes the race car 20.00 seconds to do one lap arou

koban [17]

Answer:

The value is $f = 0.05 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the car is $m = 615 \ kg$

The period of the circular motion is $T = 20 \ s$

The radius is $r = 80 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of the circular motion is

$f = \frac{1}{T }$

=> $f = \frac{1}{ 20 }$

=> $f = 0.05 \ Hz$

an object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object $v_i$ = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object $v_f$ = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration $a$ is given by:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

where $v_f$ represents final velocity, $v_i$ represents initial velocity and $t$ is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

$a=\frac{50-200}{5}$

$a=\frac{-150}{5}$

$a=-30\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$ (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.

How much heat is needed to melt 13.74 kg of silver that is initially at 20°C?

salantis [7]

Answer:

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$

Explanation:

As we know that melting point of silver is

T = 961.8 degree C

Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as

L = 111 kJ/kg

specific heat capacity of silver is given as

$s = 240 J/kg C$

now we will have

$Q = ms\Delta T + mL$

$\Delta T = 961.8 - 20$

$\Delta T = 941.8 degree C$

now from above equation

$Q = (13.74)(240)(941.8) + (13.74)(111 \times 10^3)$

$Q = 3.1 \times 10^6 + 1.53 \times 10^6$

$Q = 4.63 \times 10^6 J$
