At an amusement park there are 200-kg bumper cars A, B, and C that have riders with masses of 55 kg, 90 kg, and 42.5 kg respecti

vely. Car A is moving to the right with a velocity vA = 2 m/s and car C has a velocity vC = 1.5 m/s to the left, but car B is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution between each car is 0.8. Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts, assuming car A hits car B before car C does. Assume positive sign denoting forward motion and negative sign denoting backward motion.

Answer:

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = -1.265 m/s

Vc = 1.424 m/s

Explanation:

Favorite Answer

Initial momentum = 255(2) – 242.5(1.5) = 146.25

Final momentum = 255Va + 290Vb + 242.5 Vc = 146.25

Vb - Va = 0.8(2) = 1.6

Vc - Vb = 0.8(1.5) = 1.2

Va = Vb -1.6

Vc = Vb + 1.2

255(Vb -1.6) + 290Vb + 242.5(Vb + 1.2) = 146.25

255 Vb – 408 + 290 Vb + 242.5 Vb + 291 = 146.25

787.5 Vb = 263.25

Vb = 0.334 m/s

Va = Vb -1.6 = 0.334 – 1.6 = -1.265 m/s

Vc = Vb + 1.2 = 0.224 + 1.2 = 1.424 m/s

The mass of an electron is ____. A higher than the mass of the proton or the neutron
Harrizon [31]
Mass of an electron = 9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
Mass of a proton = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

∴ mass of a proton/mass of an electron = 1.6727 x 10⁻²⁷ kg/9.110 x 10⁻³¹ kg.
                                                               ~1836

∴ mass of a proton = 1836 x mass of an electron.
∴ mass of an electron is insignificant to the mass of an atom.

∴mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

Which statement is incorrect when considering gases? 1. Gas molecules are in constant, random motion at room temperature 2. The
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

For gases :

1. The motion of gases molecule is in random manner at the room temperature.

2.The distance between the gas molecule is more and that is why gas can be compress.

3.The attraction force between the gas molecule is negligible or we can say that there is no any force between the gas molecules.that is why gas can be filled in the container.But the motion of the gas molecule does not stop they are still moving inside the container but the space for movement become less.When a gas container heated then the container start to vibrate because the movement of the gas molecule.

So the option 4 is incorrect.

The motion map shows an object’s position and velocity at given times. A long black arrow right labeled x. Above that are 5 gree
Digiron [165]

The map be changed <u>by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A motion map represents the position, velocity, or acceleration of an object at various time readings

a small point or dot describes the position of the object. the object's velocity / acceleration is represented by an arrow / vector.

In this motion map, The arrows (vectors) are all the same length (same speed) and point in the same direction (direction to the right) for t = 0 (origin) to t = 4s

At t = 5s, the object has slowed down, and at t = 7s and 8s the object stops

At t = 9s-11 s, the object accelerates to the left

So the position of the next moving object will be above the previous movement, and the length of the same vector shows the same speed / acceleration

So that motion maps show constant acceleration after the object changes direction, it can be done by adding vectors that are all the same length and placing them above the current top row of vectors

Trucks 1 and 2 are traveling at the same constant velocity but truck 1's energy due to motion is two times less than that of tru
brilliants [131]
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * m * v²

m mass
v velocity

If the velocity stays the same and the kinetic energy goes down by a factor of 2, the mass must go down by a factor of 2 also.
