Answer:

$E=4.9\times 10^5\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a driver, v = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

The mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg

We need to find how much internal energy is produced. The internal energy produced by a truck is its kinetic energy and it is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot22.22^{2}\cdot2000\\\\E=493728.4\ J$

$E=4.9\times 10^5\ J$

So, $4.9\times 10^5\ J$ of internal energy is produced.

A catcher in a baseball game stops a pitched ball that was originally moving at 44 m/s over a distance of 12.5 cm. the mass of t

eduard

Answer:

Force = -1161.6 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 44m/s

Distance ,s = 12.5cm to m = 12.5/100 = 0.125m

Mass = 0.15kg

To find the acceleration;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V ² = U² + 2as

0² = 44² + 2*a*0.125

0 = 1936 + 0.25a

0.25a = -1936

a = -1936/0.25

Acceleration, a = -7744m/s2

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 0.15 * (-7744)

Force = -1161.6 Newton

The value of its force is negative because the glove decreases the velocity of the ball.

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the

vredina [299]

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light λ is 580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = $\frac{\lambda\times D}{d}$

Putting the values we get fringe width

= $\frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}$

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be

= 4.86 mm.

Two horses are side by side on a carousel. Which has a greater tangential speed the one closer to the center or the one farther

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The horse father from the center has a greater tangential speed. Although both horses complete one circle in the same time period, the one farther from the center covers a greater distance during that same period.
