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>

What occurs when the pitch increases and the sound source is in motion? explain your answer.
Hoochie [10]
If you're listening to a sound that has a steady pitch, and suddenly the
pitch goes up, then you know that two things could have happened:

EITHER ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
raised the pitch of the sound being produced.

OR ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
started moving toward you.

OR ...

-- both.

Even if the pitch of the sound leaving the source doesn't change,
you would still hear it increase if the source starts moving toward
you.  That's the so-called "Doppler effect".

Physics problem: piston? The piston of a hydraulic automobile lift is 0.300 m in diameter. 1. What gauge pressure, in pascals, i
k0ka [10]
Pressure is given by:
P=F/A
force=1200*10=12000 N
Area=pi*r^2=3.14*0.15^2
=0.07065 m^2
Thus;
P=12000/0.7065
P=169,851.38 N/m^2
but
1 N/m^2=1 Pa
thus our pressure is:
169,851.38 Pa

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is  a_y =  - 0.3672 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The maximum height the ball reachs is H_{max} =  42.24 \ m

       The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is v_{ix} = 5.57 \ m/s

       The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball is v_{iy} = = 16.18 m/s

The vertically motion of the ball can be mathematically represented as

       v_{fy}^2  =  v_{iy} ^2 + 2 a_{y} H_{max}

Here the final velocity at the maximum height is zero so v_{fy} = 0 \ m/s

Making the acceleration a_y the subject we have

        a_y =  \frac{v_{iy} ^2}{2H_{max}}

substituting values

      a_y =  - \frac{5.57^2}{2* 42.24}

      a_y =  - 0.3672 \ m/s^2

The negative sign shows that the direction of the acceleration is in the negative y-axis
