A passenger bus is travelling 28.0 m/s to the right when the driver applies the brakes. The bus stops in 5.00 s. What is the acc

MAVERICK [17]

Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right

What are the first two steps for finding the magnitude of the resultant vector?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

In the analytical method,

Resolve the vectors into the perpendicular components of the Cartesian coordinates.
Calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector using the Pythagoras theorem.

Explanation:

There are two methods to find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
One is the geometrical method and the other one is the analytical method.
In the geometrical method, all the vectors are connected the head to tail with the appropriate magnitude and the resultant vector is obtained by joining the initial point and the final point by a vector in the reverse direction. The magnitude of the resultant vector is given by the length of the line.
In the analytical method, all the vectors are resolved into the perpendicular components.
Using Pythagoras theorem, the magnitude of the resultant vector can be obtained
If A and B are the two vectors forming an angle ∅ between them, then the magnitude of the resultant vector is given by the formula

$R=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABcos\phi}$

matrenka [14]

Answer:

a) mass of unknown nucleus = 0.04245 mp, where mp is the proton mass

b) Speed of the unknown nucleus = (7.067 x 10^7) m/s

Explanation:

Considering the initial conditions, the observed collisions are ellastic, i.e, the total kinetic energy are conserved. The proton's mass will refer as $m_{p}$ .

(a)

Total kinetic energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_0}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_o}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_f}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_f}^{2}$

where $v_{u_o}$ represents the initial velocity of the unknown element, $m_{u}$ the mass of the unknown element, and $v_{u_f}$ the final velocity of the unknown element

Linear momentum conservation

$m_{p}v_{p_0}+m_{u}v_{u_o}=m_{p}v_{p_f}+m_{u}v_{u_f}$

Using the initial speed of the target nucleus (unknown) is negligible, i.e, its speed is zero. Thereby, using the relation of linear momentum conservation given above, it is possible to find an expression of the final speed of the unknown nucleus in terms of its mass, which can be inserted in the relation of the kinetic energy conservation to obtain the value of the mass of the unknown elements, as follows;

$m_{u}v_{u_f}=m_{p}v_{p_0}-m_{p}v_{p_f}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}$

Substituting this expression in the relation of total kinetic energy conservation,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}v^{2}_{u}_{f}$

Then,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}\frac{m^{2}_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{m^{2}_{u}}\\\\m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})}$

Replacing the given data

$m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})^{2}}{((3.6x10^{7})^{2}-(3.3x10^{7})^{2})}$

Then,

$m_{u}=0.04245m_{p}$

(b) Using the relation of the final speed from linear momentum conservation and the above result, the speed of the unknown nucleus is calculated

$v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})}{0.04245m_{p}}\\\\v_{u_f}=7.067x10^{7} m/s$
