Two car collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9).

The truck (2020 kg) t-boned the car in the middle of the intersection. The car was slowed down to only 6.7 m/s. The truck after colliding with the car was going 10.3 m/s. How fast did the truck go into the intersection?

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\$

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

$(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}$

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

A length of copper wire has a resistance 29 Ω. The wire is cut into three pieces of equal length, which are then connected as pa

erik [133]

Answer:

3.222 ohms

Explanation:

If the total wire had a resistance of 29 ohms, when cut in three, each piece will have a resistance of 9.666 ohms.

As these three pieces (R1, R2 and R3) are now connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance R can be calculated using this equation:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/R = 1/9.666 + 1/9.666 + 1/9.666

1/R = 3/9.666

R = 9.666/3 = 3.222 ohms

The resistance between A and B will be 3.222 ohms

A simple pendulum is used to measure gravity using the following theoretical equation,TT=2ππ�LL/gg ,where L is the length of the

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

g ±Δg = (9.8 ± 0.2) m / s²

Explanation:

For the calculation of the acceleration of gravity they indicate the equation of the simple pendulum to use

T = $2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$

T² = $4\pi ^2 \frac{L}{g}$ 4pi2 L / g

g = $4\pi ^2 \frac{L}{T^2}$

They indicate the average time of 20 measurements 1,823 s, each with an oscillation

let's calculate the magnitude

g = $4\pi ^2 \frac{0.823}{1.823^2}$ 4 pi2 0.823 / 1.823 2

g = 9.7766 m / s²

now let's look for the uncertainty of gravity, as it was obtained from an equation we can use the following error propagation

for the period

T = t / n

ΔT = $\frac{dT}{dt}$ Δt + $\frac{dT}{dn}$ ΔDn

In general, the number of oscillations is small, so we can assume that there are no errors, in this case the number of oscillations of n = 1, consequently

ΔT = Δt / n

ΔT = Δt

now let's look for the uncertainty of g

Δg = $\frac{dg}{dL}$ ΔL + $\frac{dg}{dT}$ ΔT

Δg = $4\pi ^2 \frac{1}{T2}$ ΔL + 4π²L (-2 T⁻³) ΔT

a more manageable way is with the relative error

$\frac{\Delta g}{g} = \frac{\Delta L }{L} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta T}{T}$

we substitute

Δg = g ( \frac{\Delta L }{L} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta T}{T}DL / L + ½ Dt / T)

the error in time give us the stanndard deviation

let's calculate

Δg = 9.7766 ( $\frac{0.001}{0.823} + \frac{1}{2} \ \frac{0.671}{1.823}$ )

Δg = 9.7766 (0.001215 + 0.0184)

Δg = 0.19 m / s²

the absolute uncertainty must be true to a significant figure

Δg = 0.2 m / s2

therefore the correct result is

g ±Δg = (9.8 ± 0.2) m / s²

Let's begin with the angular acceleration of a compact disk (CD). To play music the CD must rotate at high speed while a laser r

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

$\omega = 754 rad/s$

$t = 6.6 \times 10^{-4} s$

$\alpha = 188.5 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Frequency of the disc is given by the

$f = 7200 rev/min$

here we know that

$f = \frac{7200}{60} rev/s$

$f = 120 rev/s$

now we have

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(120) = 754 rad/s$

Now we know that its angular speed is 754 rad/s

now to find the time to turn by 90 degree is given as

$t = \frac{\theta}{\omega}$

$t = \frac{\pi/2}{740} = 6.6 \times 10^{-4} s$

Now the angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

$\alpha = \frac{240\pi - 0}{4}$

$\alpha = 188.5 rad/s^2$
