Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.
frutty [35]

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

roblem 10: In an adiabatic process oxygen gas in a container is compressed along a path that can be described by the following p
miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= \int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV  where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= \int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)  

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001)   changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

A car engine has power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes
labwork [276]

Answer:

A car engine has more power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes of equal weight to stack next to each other on the same shelf, at the same height and in the same arrangement. Yasmin completed the task in 2 minutes, while Raj took 3 minutes to stack his boxes. Raj applied less power than Yasmin because his stacking took more time to do the same amount of work.

Calculate the percentage increase in length of a wire of diameter 2.2 mm stretched by a load of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.21%

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 100 kg

Diameter; d = 2.2 mm = 2.2 × 10^(-3) m

Young's modulus; E = 12.5 x 10^(10) N/m².

Formula for area is;

A = πd²/4

A = (π/4) x (2.2 x 10^(-3))²

A = 3.8 x 10^(-6) m²

Force; F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity and has a constant value of 9.8 m/s²

F = 100 × 9.8

F = 980 N

Formula for young's modulus is;

E = Stress/strain

Formula for stress = F/A

Formula for strain = ΔL/L

Thus;

E = (F/A)/(ΔL/L)

Making ΔL/L the subject, we have;

ΔL/L = (F/A)/E

Plugging in the relevant values;

ΔL/L = 980/(3.8 x 10^(-6) × 12.5 × 10^(10))

ΔL/L = 0.0021

Then percentage increase in length of a wire = 0.0021 × 100% = 0.21%
