Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}

Final kinetic energy is :

K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the box to the pivot be c.

Let the distance from the pivot to the effort be y.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort force (Fₑ) = 7 N

Force of resistance (Fᵣ) = 14 N

Distance from the box to the pivot (c) = 0.75 m

Distance from the pivot to the effort (y) =?

Clockwise moment = Fₑ × y

Anticlock wise moment = Fᵣ × c

Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment

Fₑ × y = Fᵣ × c

7 × y = 14 × 0.75

7 × y = 10.5

Divide both side by 7

y = 10.5 / 7

y = 1.5 m

Therefore, the distance from the pivot to the effort is 1.5 m

Debbie places two shopping carts in a cart Corral. she pushes the first cart, which then pushes a second cart. what force is bei
Bingel [31]

When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.


Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.

Which type of circuit is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction?
jekas [21]

Communication circuit  <em>(D)</em> is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction.  

LAN Ethernet cables, outlets, and even hubs and bridges, are being built into the walls of new homes, along with the usual electrical outlet wiring, to give the owner the networking infrastructure and internet access that everybody needs now ... without stringing a mess of cables on the floor and through doors all over the house.
