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

Answer:

The total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation = 31 cm

Explanation:

Let the total side to side motion be 2A. Where A is maximum acceleration.

Now, we know know that equation for maximum acceleration is;

A = α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)]

So 2A = 2[α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)] ]

α(max) = (0.025 x 9.81) while frequency(f) from the question is 0.2Hz.

Therefore 2A = 2 [(0.025 x 9.81) / [((2π(0.2)) ^(2)] ] = 2( 0.245 / 1.58) = 0.31m or 31cm

Scilla [17]
Yes,suns original energy are still stored at the bonds of fossils in which they taken long,long time ago and these fossils powered now industries,fuel for vehicles.In those chemical bonds holds much energy packed together for centuries.

How does emission spectra occur?
Lerok [7]

The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.

hope this helped:)

Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes how space and time are connected. What makes this idea a theory?
vredina [299]
B. A hypothesis is just an idea. And can become a Theory if there is some evidence. However a Theory is not a law, but an idea with supportive evidence
