A 1250 kg car is stopped at a traffic light. A 3550 kg truck moving at 8.33 m/s hits the car from behind. If bumpers lock, how f

Radda [10]

Answer:

the two vehicles will be moving at a speed of 6.16 m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of completely inelastic collision, therefore, the conservation of momentum can be written as:

$m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f$

which given the information provided results into:

$m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f\\(1250)\,(0)+(3550)\,(8.33)=(1250+3550)\,v_f\\29571.5=4800\,v_f\\v_f=6.16\,\,m/s$

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g= $\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg$

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh$

Using g= $9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086$

$V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}$

$V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}$

$V=1.3m/s$

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

$mv+Mv'=(m+M)V$

Using the formula

$0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)$

$0.015v=3.015(1.3)$

$v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3$

$v=261.3 m/s$

When heat is removed from a substance , describe how the molecules are affected

kkurt [141]

I believe they would electron rate would slow down and the molecules would shrink.

I am almost positive that this is correct. I hope it helps!

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2$

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2$

now we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}$

$r_2 = 47 cm$

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm

What is needed to set a body in motion

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Newtons law

Explanation:

According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.
