Car A of mass 1200kg traveling at 10m/s , collided in too the back of the car B, which is stationary. Following the collision,.
2 answers:
Answer:
Car B has a mass of 800 kg.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Momentum</u>
Law of Conservation of Momentum:
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
[Given] m₁ = 1200 kg
[Given] v₁i = 10 m/s
[Solve] m₂
[Given] v₂i = 0 m/s
[Given] vf = 6 m/s
<u>Step 2: Solve for m₂</u>
- Substitute in variables [Law of Conservation of Momentum]: (1200 kg)(10 m/s) + m₂(0 m/s) = (1200 kg + m₂)(6 m/s)
- Multiply: 12000 kg · m/s = (1200 kg + m₂)(6 m/s)
- Isolate m₂ term: 2000 kg = 1200 kg + m₂
- Isolate m₂: 800 kg = m₂

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 
, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
is the potential difference
Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
