A car jumps off a ramp with a Kinetic energy of 5,000 joules. This same car has a gravitational potential energy of 4,685 joules

at some point when it is falling to the ground, after jumping off the ramp. When the car lands on the ground, the springs of this car’s suspension compress and then come back to normal exerting an elastic potential energy of 4,968 joules.
What is the car’s total mechanical energy (TME)?

Answer:

14,653 J.

Explanation:

We know that,

Total mechanical energy is equal to the sum of all the potential and kinetic energies.

Given,

Kinetic energy when a car jumps off a ramp= 5000 J

Potential energy = 4685 J

Potential energy when the car lands= 4968 J

TME = 5000 + 4685 + 4968

        = 14,653 J

Hence, the car's total mechanical engery is equal to 14,653 J.

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

When the wedges are removed, the cars will move. Predict which direction they will move and when they will stop
Neko [114]

Answer: hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the required diagram

answer : Both cars will move backwards and stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Given that both cars are negatively charged, When the wedges are removed both cars will move backwards ( repelling each other ) because they are like poles, and Like poles repel each other. while unlike poles attract each other ( forward movement )  .

The cars will later come to a stop due to frictional forces between the cars and the surface.
