A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together

and move together after collision. What is the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass? If Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * m * v^2, calculate the KE before the crash and the KE of the combined vehicles after the crash.

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

puteri [66]

Answer:

\mu=0.0049Kg/m

Explanation:

When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:

f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}

Where L is the length of the string and v the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of v.

f_6=\frac{6v}{2L}\\(150)=\frac{6v}{2(2)} \\150=\frac{3v}{2} \\3v=150(2)\\ v=\frac{300}{3} \\v=100m/s

The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }

Where \mu is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and T is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:

T=W=mg=(5)(9.81)=49.05N

With the value of the tension and the velocity you can find the mass density:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

v^2=\frac{T}{\mu}\\ \mu=\frac{T}{v^2} =\frac{49.05}{(100)^2} =\frac{49.05}{10000} =0.0049Kg/m

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average
MissTica

Answer:

reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Explanation:

given data

electricity consume = 14000 kWh

fuel consume = 900 gal

CO₂ produced of fuel = 26.4 lbm/gal

CO₂ produced of electricity  = 1.54 lbm/kWh

oil and electricity usage = 21 percent

to find out

the reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions

solution

we calculate the amount of CO₂ produce here that is

amount of CO₂ produce = ( electricity consume×CO₂ produce electricity + fuel consume × CO₂ consume fuel )    ........................1

put here value

amount of CO₂ produce = ( 14000 × 1.54 + 900 × 26.4 )  

amount of CO₂ produce = 45320 lbm/yr

we know reduction is 21%

so

reduction in amount of CO₂ produced is

reduction in CO₂ produced = 45320 × 21%

reduction in CO₂ produced = 9517.2 lbm per year

so reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Since there are no aurora observed on Venus we can conclude that Venus a. lacks atmospheric oxygen b. is too hot for magnetic fo
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Yes, Venus does not have the same magnetic field as that of earth's  

Explanation:

Instead, there are solar wind particles that can deeply penetrate the venus atmosphere and can collide with the other carbon atoms already present in the air but lacks oxygen and thus does not have that strong magnetic field which would deflect the suns rays and create aurora in the sky at night.
