Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie

sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

Two identical 0.200kg mass are pressed against opposite ends of a light spring of force constant 1.75N/cm compressing the spring

arlik [135]

This type of a problem can be solved by considering energy transformations. Initially, the spring is compressed, thus having stored something called an elastic potential energy. This energy is proportional to the square of the spring displacement d from its normal (neutral position) and the spring constant k:

$E_p=\frac{1}{2}kd^2= \frac{1}{2}175\frac{N}{m}\cdot 0.37^2m^2=11.98J$

So, this spring is storing almost 12 Joules of potential energy. This energy is ready to be transformed into the kinetic energy when the masses are released. There are two 0.2kg masses that will be moving away from each other, their total kinetic energy after the release equaling the elastic energy prior to the release (no losses, since there is no friction to be reckoned with).

The kinetic energy of a mass m moving with a velocity v is given by:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And we know that the energies are conserved, so the two kinetic energies will equal the elastic potential one:

$E_p = 2E_k=mv^2$

From this we can determine the speed of the mass:

$E_p =mv^2\implies v=\pm \sqrt{\frac{E_p}{m}}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{11.98J}{0.2kg}}=\pm 7.74\frac{m}{s}$

The speed will be 7.74m/s in in one direction (+), and same magnitude in the opposite direction (-).

An ice cream maker has a refrigeration unit which can remove heat at 120 Js'. Liquid ice

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, of -16°C is 45,360 J

Explanation:

The given parameters for the refrigeration unit and the ice cream are;

The power of the refrigeration unit = 120 J/s

The mass of the liquid ice cream, m = 0.6 kg

The initial temperature of the liquid ice cream, T₁ = 20°C

The freezing point temperature of the ice cream, T₂ = -16°C

The specific heat capacity of the ice cream, c = 2,100 J/kg⁻¹·°C⁻¹

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, ΔQ, is given as follows;

ΔQ = m × c × ΔT

Where;

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

∴ ΔQ = m × c × (T₁ - T₂)

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

ΔQ = 0.6 × 2,100 × (20 - (-16)) = 45,360

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, of -16°C = ΔQ = 45,360 J.
