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

You are looking down on a N = 9 turn coil in a magnetic field B = 0.5 T which points directly down into the screen. If the diame

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 9

Magnetic field = 0.5 T

Diameter = 3 cm

Time t = 0.14 s

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NAB$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=9\times\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.5$

$\phi=0.003180$

We need to calculate the emf

Using formula of emf

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{0.003180}{0.14}$

$\epsilon =-0.000227\ V$

$\epsilon=-2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$

Negative sign shows the direction of current.

Hence, The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00

vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

$v$ = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

$\theta$ = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

$v_{oy}$ = initial velocity along vertical direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

$a_{y}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel

$y$ = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

$y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}$

$- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2$

$t$ = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

$v_{ox}$ = initial velocity along horizontal direction = $v Sin\theta$ = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

$a_{x}$ = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

$t$ = time of travel = 1.22 sec

$x$ = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

$x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}$

$x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2$

$x$ = 7.5 m

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C

Explanation:

The electric field experienced by a test charge is given by the following formula:

$E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\$

where,

E = Electric Field = ?

F = Force of attraction = 3 x 10⁻⁶ N

q = Charge on piece of lint = 1.25 x 10⁻¹⁰ C

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

$E = \frac{3\ x\ 10^{-6}\ N}{1.25\ x\ ^{-10}\ C}\\\\$

<u>E = 24000 N/C = 24 KN/C</u>

What is the term for the principal that an object in motion remains in motion until it is met by an outside force?

Papessa [141]

The term for the principal that an object in motion remains in motion until it is met by an outside force is called inertia

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force .This principal is named as inertia .

Every matter have inertia , a property to remain in that very position until unless it is been forced on them to change their position .

Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist changes in velocity (speed and/or direction). According to Newton's first law of motion, an object with a given velocity maintains that velocity unless acted on by an external force. Inertia is the property of matter that makes this law hold true.
