Which cart has the greatest kinetic energy?

Physics

Lyrx [107]3 years ago
3 0

We will individually calculate the Kinetic Energy of each of the carts and compare them

<u>Cart A:</u>

m = 1 kg  ,   v = 3 m/s

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 9/2 = 4.5 J

<u>Cart B:</u>

m = 3 kg  ,  v = 1m/s

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 3/2 = 1.5 J

<u>Cart C:</u>

m = 3 kg   ,   v = 2 m/s

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 6 J

<u>Cart D:</u>

m = 4 kg   ,   v = 2 m/s

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 2 J

Therefore, Cart C has the most Kinetic energy

A billiard ball with a mass of 1.5kg is moving at 25m/s and strikes a second ball with a mass of 2.3 kg that is motionless. Find
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The velocity of the second ball after the collision will be 16.3 m/s.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated remains the same before and after the collision.

Let: mass of the first ball = m1 = 1.5 kg

mass of the second ball = m2 =  2.3 kg

Momentum before the collision:

velocity of the first ball = v1 = 25 m/s

velocity of the second ball = v2 = 0 m/s

[tex] Initial momentum = m1v1 + m2v2 = 1.5*25 + 2.3*0 = 37.5 kgm/s [\tex]

Momentum after the collision:

velocity of the first ball = v1 = 0 m/s

velocity of the second ball = v2 = x

[tex]momentum after the collision= m1v1 + m2v2 = 1.5*0 + 2.3*x = 2.3*x[\tex]

According to law of conservation of momentum:

Initial momentum = Momentum after collision

37.5 = 2.3*x

⇒ x = 37.5/2.3

x = 16.3 m/s

The battery charger for an mp3 player contains a step-down transformer with a turns ratio of 1:38, so that the voltage of 120 v
matrenka [14]
Transformer contains two coils: primary and secondary. They allow change of voltage to lower or higher value. In first case we have step-down and in second case we have step-up transformer.
Formula used for transformer is:\frac{N_{1} }{N_{2}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}

Where:N1 = number of turns on primary coilN2 = number of turns on secondary coilV1 = voltage on primary coilV2 = voltage on secondary coil
In a step-down transformer primary coil has more turns than secondary coil. So the ratio 1:38 means that for each turn on secondary coil we have 38 turns on primary coil.
We can solve the equation for V2:V_{2} =  \frac{ V_{1}* N_{2}  }{ N_{1} }  \\  V_{2} =  \frac{ 120* x  }{ 38x} } \\ V_{2} = 3.16V

Secondary coil provides voltage of 3.16V.
