A 4.0 kg circular disk slides in the x- direction on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s as shown in the a

djacent Figure. It collides with an identical disk that is at rest before the collision. The collision is elastic. Disk 1 goes off at an 60 5.0 m/s angle of 60 with respect to the x-direction. Disk 2 g 30 goes off at an angle of 30 with respect to the x-direction. What best describes the speeds of the disks after the collision?

Solution :

Let $m_1=m_2=4$ kg

$u_1 = 5$ m/s

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the speeds of the disk $m_1$ and $m_2$  after the collision.

So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,

$0=m_1 .v_1_y -m_2 .v_2_y $

$v_1_y = v_2_y$

$v_1 . \sin 60=v_2. \sin 30$

$v_2 = v_1 \times \frac{\sin 60}{\sin 30}$

$v_2=1.732 \times v_1$

Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.

Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,

$m_1.u_1=m_1.v_1_x+m_2.v_2_x$

$u_1=v_1_x+v_2_x$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + v_2 . \cos 30$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + 1.732 \times v_1 \cos 30$

$v_1 = 2.50$ m/s

So, $v_2 = 1.732 \times 2.5$

          = 4.33 m/s

Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s

Which is correct about an ammeter?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

b. The internal resistance must be much smaller than the other resistances in the circuit.

Explanation:

Ammeter is used to measure the current flowing through a circuit. It is connected in series configuration with the load. In such a scenario the resistance of the ammeter should be negligible so as to make sure that the voltage drop across the resistance of ammeter is zero and it shows the correct reading of the current in the circuit.

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e
ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2

How far does a car travel in 90 seconds if it’s traveling 55 m/s? Show equation
podryga [215]

You just said the car is traveling at the speed of 55 m/s.  If I understand this  correctly, that means the car will cover:

55 meters in the first second,

55 meters in the 2nd second,

55 meters in the 3rd second,

55 meters in the 4th second,

55 meters in the 5th second,

.

.

.

55 meters in the 87th second,

55 meters in the 88th second,

55 meters in the 89th second, and

55 meters in the 90th second.

That's 55 meters 90 times.  If you just move these words around a little bit, it says "90 times 55 meters" . . . a pretty simple arithmetic problem.

The equation is . . . <em>Distance = (55 m/s) times (time, in seconds)</em> .

I get <em>4,953 meters</em>.  You should check me on this.
