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 train with mass 3.3 x 107 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 42
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

kinetic energy of the train = 2,910.6 x 10⁷ joule

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of train = 3.3 x 10⁷ kg

Speed of train = 42 m/s

Find:

kinetic energy of the train

Computation:

kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²)

kinetic energy of the train = (1/2)(3.3 x 10⁷)(42²)

kinetic energy of the train = (1/2)(3.3 x 10⁷)(1,764)

kinetic energy of the train = (3.3 x 10⁷)(882)

kinetic energy of the train = 2,910.6 x 10⁷ joule

Refraction occurs through a glass slab why​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

One when it enters the glass slab from air and second time when it enters the air through glass slab. When light rays travelling through air enters glass slab, they get refracted and bend towards the normal. Now the direction of refracted ray changes again when it comes out of the glass slab into air.

Q|C A string with linear density 0.500 g/m is held under tension 20.0 N. As a transverse sinusoidal wave propagates on the strin
julia-pushkina [17]

A string with linear density 0.500 g/m.

Tension 20.0 N.

The maximum speed  v_{y, max}

The energy contained in a section of string 3.00 m long as a function of v_{y, max}.

We are given following data for string with linear density held under tension :

μ = 0.5 \frac{g}{m}

  = 0.5 x 10⁻³ \frac{kg}{m}

T = 20 N

If string is L = 3m long, total energy as a function of v_{y, max} is given by:

E = 1/2 x μ x L x ω² x A²

  = 1/2 x μ x L x v^{2} _{y, max}

  = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ v^{2} _{y, max}

So, The total energy as a function of  v^{2} _{y, max} = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ v^{2} _{y, max}

A force F = (2.75 N)i + (7.50 N)j + (6.75 N)k acts on a 2.00 kg mobile object that moves from an initial position of d = (2.75 m
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval is 40.93 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F=(2.75\ N)i+(7.50\ N)j+(6.75\ N)k

Mass of object = 2.00 kg

Initial position d=(2.75)i-(2.00)j+(5.00)k

Final position d=-(5.00)i+(4.50)j+(7.00)k

Time = 4.00 sec

We need to calculate the work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval.

Using formula of work done

W=F\cdot d

W=F\cdot(d_{f}-d_{i})

Put the value into the formula

W=(2.75)i+(7.50)j+(6.75)k\cdot (-(5.00)i+(4.50)j+(7.00)k-(2.75)i+(2.00)j-(5.00)k)

W=(2.75)i+(7.50)j+(6.75)k\cdot((-7.75)i+6.50j+2.00k)

W=2.75\times-7.75+7.50\times6.50+6.75\times2.00

W=40.93\ J

Hence, The work done on the object by the force in the 5.60 s interval is 40.93 J.

Need help finding the average speed.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

To find the average of these numbers, we just have to add the three numbers together and divide by 3.

  • 2.07 + 0. 74 + 1.33 = 4.14. 4.14 / 3 = 1.38
  • 1.09 + 1.40 + 0.31 = 2.8. 2.8 / 3 ≈ 9.3333333/ 9 1/3
  • 0.95 + 1.61 + 0.56 = 3.12 / 3 = 1.04
  • 0.81 + 1.89 + 1.08 = 3.78 / 3 = 1.26
