Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, m_p = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, m_e = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2

If the man pushes with a force of 2000N and friction is 500N, what is the resultant force?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the force of 2000 N is directed towards the right and the friction is directed towards the left, the 2000 N force is positive and the other is negative. To find the resultant force:

2000 - 500 = 1500 N to the right

Ans of this question A test charge of 1 couloumb moved from 30cm against the field of intensity 50N/c find the energy store in i
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

Given data,

The charge of the test charge, q = 1 C

The distance the charge moved against the filed of intensity, x = 30 cm

                                                                                                        = 0.3 m

The electric field intensity, E = 50 N/C

The energy stored in the charge at 0.3 m is given by the formula,

                                V = k q/r

Where,                        

                                     = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²C⁻²

The charge is moved from the potential V₁ to V₂ at 30 cm

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                            V₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x 30 / 0.3

                                =  1.5 x 10¹² J

And,

                            V₂ = 1.5 x 10¹² J

The energy stored in it is,

                             W = V₂ - V₁

                                  = 0

Hence, the energy stored in the charge is, W = 0
