A mysterious crate has shown up at your place of work, Firecracker Company, and you are told to measure its inertia. It is too h

eavy to lift, but it rolls smoothly on casters. Getting an inspiration, you lightly tape a 0.60-kg iron block to the side of the crate, slide a firecracker between the crate and the block, and light the fuse. When the firecracker explodes, the block goes one way and the crate rolls the other way. You measure the crate's speed to be 0.058 m/s by timing how long it takes to cross floor tiles. You look up the specifications of the firecracker and find that it releases 7 J of energy. That's all you need, and you quickly calculate the inertia of the crate.
What is that inertia?

Answer:

the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

First; we will use the law of conservation of momentum to determine the mass of the crate;

m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = 0

given that; m₁ = 0.60 kg and v₂ = 0.058 m/s

we substitute

0.60 × v₁ = m₂ × 0.058 = 0

m₂ = 0.60v₁ / 0.058 ----------- EQU 1

Next, we use the energy conservation relation to find the velocity

According to conservation of energy;

1/2m₁v₁² + 1/2m₂v₂² = 7 J

we substitute

1/2×0.60×v₁² + 1/2×m₂×(0.058)² = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.001682m₂ = 7 J ----- EQU 2

substitute value of m₂ form equ 1 into equ 2

0.3v₁² + 0.001682(0.60v₁ / 0.058) = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ = 7 J

0.3v₁² + 0.0174v₁ - 7 J = 0

we solve the quadratic equation;

{  x =  [-b±√( b² - 4ac)] / 2a   }

v₁  =  [-0.0174 ±√( 0.0174² - 4×0.3×-7)] / 2×0.3

=  [-0.0174 ±√(8.4003)] / 0.6

= [-0.0174 ± 2.8983 ] / 0.6  

= -4.8595 or 4.8015     but{ v₁ ≠ - }

so v₁ = 4.8015 m/s ≈ 4.802 m/s

next we input value of  v₁ into equation 1

m₂ = (0.60×4.8015) / 0.058

m₂ =  2.8809 / 0.058

m₂ =  49.67 kg

So, the moment of inertia of the crate will be;

I₂ = m₂r²

we substitute value of m₂

I₂ = (49.67 kg)r²

Therefore, the inertia of the crate is (49.67 kg)r²

The brakes in a car increase in temperature by ΔT when bringing the car to rest from a speed v. How much greater would ΔT be if
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T would be two times the temperature That it was before the double so if the initial temperature was 20 it would now be 40

If a ball starts with the velocity of 2.0m/s and accelerates with a constant rate of 0.50m/s squared for 2.5s what is the balls
baherus [9]

Acceleration can be any change in speed, increasing or decreasing.
You haven't said whether the ball is speeding up or slowing down.

If its acceleration is positive ... speed is increasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it GAINS (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed.  Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at 4.5 m/s.

If its acceleration is negative ... speed is decreasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it LOSES (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed.  Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at  -0.5 m/s.  That means that it ends up
moving in the opposite direction compared to its direction at the beginning of
the change.
