A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

Two objects, C & D, have the same momentum. Object C has ½ the mass of object D. Find the value of the ratio of velocity C t
Savatey [412]
These are two questions and two answers.

Part 1. Fin the value of the ration of velocity C to velocity D.


Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) Formula: momentum = mass * velocity

2) momentum C = mass C * velocity C

3) momentum D = mass D * velocity D.

4) C and D have the same momentum =>

mass C * velocity C = mass D * velocity D

5) mass C = (1/2) mass D => mass C / mass C = 1/2

6) use in the equation stated in the point 4)

velocit C / velocity D = mass D / mass C

using the equation stated in point 5:

mass D / mass C = 1 / [ mass C / mass D] = 1 / [1/2] = 2

=>

7) velocity C / velocity D = mass D / mass C = 2

Part 2: <span>ratio of kinetic energy C to kinetic energy D.
</span>
Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) formula: kinetic energy KE = (1/2) mass * (velocity)^2

2) KE C = (1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2

3) KE D = (1/2) mass D * (velocity D)^2

4) KE C / KE D =

(1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2        mass C        (velocity C)^2
--------------------------------------- = --------------- * ---------------------- = (1/2) * (2)^2
(1/2) mass D *( velocity D)^2        mass D        v(velocity D)^2

= 4 / 2 = 2

100 POINTS FOR CORRECT ANSWER/EXPLANATION
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

Let's start with the small block m on top.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down, normal force N₁ pushing up, tension force T pulling right, and friction force N₁μ pushing left (opposing the direction of motion).

Now let's look at the large block M on bottom.  There are seven forces:

Normal force N₁ pushing down (opposite and equal from block m),

Friction force N₁μ pushing right (opposite and equal from block m),

Weight force Mg pulling down,

Tension force T pulling right,

Applied force F pulling left,

Normal force N₂ pushing up,

and friction force N₂μ pushing right (opposing the direction of motion).

So you've correctly identified the free body diagrams.

Now apply Newton's second law.  Sum of forces in the y direction for block m:

∑F = ma

N₁ − mg = 0

N₁ = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T − N₁μ = 0

T = N₁μ

T = mgμ

Sum of forces in the y direction for block M:

∑F = ma

-N₁ − Mg + N₂ = 0

N₂ = N₁ + Mg

N₂ = mg + Mg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

N₁μ + T − F + N₂μ = 0

F = N₁μ + T + N₂μ

F = mgμ + mgμ + (mg + Mg)μ

F = gμ(3m + M)

Since M = 2m:

F = 5gμm

Plug in values:

F = 5 (10 m/s²) (0.400) (0.300 kg)

F = 6 N

A bottle of water with mass 0.9 kg is left out in the sun, the radiation from the sun warms up the water bottle. If the water bo
natita [175]

Answer:

Final temperature, T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Mass = 0.9kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C to Kelvin = 10 + 273 = 283K

Quantity of heat = 120,000 J

Specific heat capacity = 4182 j/kgK

To find the final temperature;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Making dt the subject of formula, we have;

dt = \frac {Q}{mc}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

dt = \frac {120000}{0.9*4182}

dt = \frac {120000}{3763.8}

dt = 31.9K

Now, the final temperature T2 is;

But, dt = T2 - T1

T2 = dt + T1

T2 = 31.9 + 283

T2 = 314.9 Kelvin

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]
