ighting 400 kN. The collision connects the caboose to the car, and then both move together and you have found the final velocity. Apparently, initial kinetic energy of the system changes (in part, because of friction present). How much energy (in kJ) is transferred from kinetic energy to other forms of energy (e..g., thermal) in the collision

Answer:

ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

Explanation:

This is a crash problem, let's start by defining a system formed by the two trucks, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the moment is preserved

initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₁ + M 0

final instant. Right after the crash

        p_f = (m + M) v

        p₀ = p_f

        mv₁ = (m + M) v

        v = \frac{m}{m+M} \  v_1

     

we substitute

        v = \frac{20}{20+40}   3

        v = 1.0 m / s

having the initial and final velocities, let's find the kinetic energy

        K₀ = ½ m v₁² + 0

        K₀ = ½ 20 10³ 3²

        K₀ = 9 10⁴ J

        K_f = ½ (m + M) v²

        K_f = ½ (20 +40) 10³  1²

        K_f = 3 10⁴ J

the change in energy is

       ΔK = K_f - K₀

       ΔK = (3 - 9) 10⁴

       ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

The negative sign indicates that the energy is ranked in another type of energy

A 2.0 kg, 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 100 rpm ons tionless bearings. Two 500 g blocks fall from above, hit the tum ble s
Verdich [7]

There are mistakes in the question.The correct question is here

A 2.0 kg, 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 100 rpm on frictionless bearings. Two 500 g blocks fall from above, hit the turntable simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick. What is the turntable’s angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event?

Answer:

w=50 rpm

Explanation:

Given data

The mass turntable M=2kg

Diameter of the turntable d=20 cm=0.2 m

Angular velocity ω=100 rpm= 100×(2π/60) =10.47 rad/s

Two blocks Mass m=500 g=0.5 kg

To find

Turntable angular velocity

Solution

We can find the angular velocity of the turntable as follow

Lets consider turntable to be disk shape and the blocks to be small as compared to turntable

I_{turntable}w=I_{block1}w^{i}+I_{turntable}w^{i}+I_{block2}w^{i}

where I is moment of inertia

w^{i}=\frac{I_{turntable}w}{I_{block1}w^{i}+I_{block2}w^{i}+I_{turntable}w^{i}}\\   So\\I_{turntable}=M\frac{r^{2} }{2}\\I_{turntable}=2*(\frac{(0.2/2)}{2} )\\ I_{turntable}=0.01 \\And\\I_{block1}=I_{block2}=mr^{2}\\I_{block1}=I_{block2}=(0.5)*(0.2/2)^{2} \\ I_{block1}=I_{block2}==0.005\\so\\w^{i}=\frac{I_{turntable}w}{I_{block1}w^{i}+I_{block2}w^{i}+I_{turntable}w^{i}}\\w^{i}=\frac{0.01*(10.47)}{0.005+0.005+0.01} \\w^{i}=5.235 rad/s\\w^{i}=5.235*(60/2\pi )\\w^{i}=50 rpm

Answer:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF METIS JOURNAL, I WROTE IT HOPE U LIKE IT ;))) XD

We, who live in the west, were Nomadic. So we always moved from place to place to hunt buffalo and other fur-bearing animals. And now again we have to shift everything we collected , like, all the essential needs we collected. It’s really hard to shift stuff, But when you move to a new place you get to see new beautiful places. They are just so satisfying to see! It’s like all my work(like the shifting work) is paid off. I love it! We always meet the Hudson’s bay company employees, and give them furs which we took from the bissons and other furry animals we hunted. And in exchange they give us their (Hudson’s Bay company) goods. Which is good! Because then we or I won't be able to enjoy that delicious pemmican!

 The one reason that makes me proud of my parents is that because of them I am like a translator for both sides in the fur trade! Anyways coming back to the present. As I said before, we were moving today to another place, But on the way some people along with my father will ride the famous York boats carrying supplies to fur posts. I begged my father to take me with him! And as usual he gave me some silly reason for me to stay. And now since I don’t have anything to do I will-..Nevermind, My mom’s calling me. Okay after helping my mom keep the fur posts into the York boats me , my mom, and the others are just relaxing and enjoying nature just to take a break. Since, I am so obsessed with my Journal notebook today I’m just going to sit here and right what comes to my mind. I’m not like the others who always seem to be talking with someone. I like my own space! 

I kind of miss my dad already, but he and his fellow members need to travel the waterways from the red river further west and north to hudson bay. These red river carts also travel the trek back and forth over land to St. Paul, Minnesota and to posts in saskatchewan.  Speaking about the red river, the only large settlement in the region is the red colony. About 12000 people lived in this colony around Fort Garry. Some were the original Selkirk settlers or their descendents. They had come from Scotland with lord Selkirk when he established the colony in 1811. Many of these original settlers were poor farmers who had been displaced  from their lands in scotland. They had endured many hardships in the early years of settlement, including foods, hunger, and sickness. I love studying about other colonies, cultures , history etc.
