Answer:

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is one where 2 masses collide and stick together, moving as a single mass after the collision occurs. When we talk about this type of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved always, but the kinetic momentum is not (the velocity changes when they collide). Because there is direction involved here, we use vector addition. The picture before the collision has the truck at a mass of 3520 kg moving north at a velocity of 18.5. The truck's momentum, then, is 3520(18.5) = 65100 kgm/s; coming at this truck is a car of mass 1480 kg traveling east at an unknown velocity. The car's momentum, then, is 1480v. The resulting vector (found when you pick up the car vector and stick the initial end of it to the terminal end of the truck's momentum vector) forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle where one leg is 65100 kgm/s, and the other leg is 1480v. Since we already know the final velocity of the 2 masses after the collision, we can use that to find the final momentum, which will serve as the resultant momentum vector in our equation (we'll get there in a sec). The final momentum of this collision is

p = mv and

p = (3520 + 1480)(13.6) so

p = 68000. Final momentum. The equation for this is a take-off of Pythagorean's Theorem and the one used to find the final magnitude of a resultant vector when you first began your vector math in physics. The equation is

p_f=\sqrt{(p_{truck})^2+(p_{car})^2} which, in words, is

the final momentum after the collision is equal to the square root of the truck's momentum squared plus the car's momentum squared. Filling in:

68000=\sqrt{(65100)^2+(1480v)^2} and

(68000)^2=(65100)^2+(1480v)^2 and

4624000000=4238010000+2190400v^2  and

385990000=2190400v^2 and

176.2189554=v^2 so

v = 13.3 m/s at 72.6°

How much heat is<br> needed to heat 45 kg<br> of water from 18°C<br> to 83°C?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The Old Thermodynamist says:

Recall ΔH = m•Cp•ΔT where H is enthalpy (heat), m is mass Cp is heat capacity and ΔT is temperature change.

The heat capacity of water is dependent on temperature, but is commonly taken as 4.186kJ/kg-K

In this case, we have 8kg of water and a temperature change ΔT = 80K

So ΔH = 8(4.186)(80) = 2679.0kJ

The heat required is 2679.0kJ (which is 0.744kWh

Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of ethanol to carbon dioxide and water liberates 1370 kJ of energy (Δ????°′=−137
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

28 moles of X.

Explanation:

Let's consider the complete combustion of ethanol.

C₂H₆O(l) + 3 O₂(g) ⇒  2 CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(l)

When 1 mole of ethanol burns it releases 1370 kJ, that is, the enthalpy of combustion is -1370 kJ/mol. If the energy released by one mole of etanol were used to syntesize the compound X, it would take 45.9 kJ to form 1 mole of X, that is, the enthalpy of formation is -49.5 kJ/mol. Then,

1mol(etanhol).\frac{-1370kJ}{mol(etanhol)} .\frac{1mol(X)}{-49.5kJ} =28mol(X)

How does magnet polarity affect the current flowing in a loop of wire?
Setler [38]

Answer:

If the polarity of a moving magnet is reversed, then the current induced in a loop of wire will reverse in direction, because magnet polarity determines the direction of the electromagnetic force.
