Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1200 kg and had a speed

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum:

x-coordinate

$p_{0x}=p_{fx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}cos(40)$ (1)

y-coordinate

$p_{0y}=p_{fy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}sin(40)$ (2)

We can divide equations (2) and (1):

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=\frac{sin(40)}{cos(40)}$

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{m_{A}v_{A0}}{m_{B}}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{1200*25}{1600}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 68.7 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) $F = 78.606\,N$ , b) $F = 88.911\,N$

Explanation:

a) Let consider two equations of equilibrium, the first parallel to ski slope and the second perpendicular to that. The equations are, respectively:

$\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = 0\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0$

The force on the skier is:

$F = m \cdot g \cdot \sin \theta$

$F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree}$

$F = 78.606\,N$

b) The equations of equilibrium are the following:

$\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot a\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0$

The force on the skier is:

$F = m\cdot (a + g \cdot \sin \theta)$

$F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree})$

$F = 88.911\,N$

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.

A force of 14 N acts on a 5 kg object for 3 seconds.

DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) 42Nm b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as object change in momentum.

Since Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

F = m(v-u)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = m(v-u)

Since impulse = Ft

and Ft = m(v-u)... (1)

The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m from eqn 1

Going to the question;

a) Impulse = Force (F) × time(t)

Given force = 14N and time = 3seconds

Impulse = 14×3

Impulse = 42Nm

b) The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m where mass = 5kg

v-u = 14×3/5

Change in velocity = 42/5 = 8.4m/s

What is surface tension? How does surface tension result from intermolecular forces? How is it related to the strength of interm

Bond [772]

Answer:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.

Surface tension is caused by effects of intermolecular forces at liquid interface.

Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. It can also be seen as the energy required to increase the surface of a liquid by a unit amount.

Surface tension is caused by the mediating effects of intermolecular forces at the liquid interfaces. Example in water, surface tension is caused by the mediating effect of the force between hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Liquids tends to reduce their surface area because of inward attarction of the liquid molecules.

Surface tension increases as intermolecular forces increases. Also, surface tension decreases as intermolecular forces decreases.
