The surface of the earth changes. Some changes are due to slow processes, such as erosion and weathering, and some changes are due to rapid processes, such as landslides, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

A car with mass 950 kg and a speed of 16 m/s approaches an intersection. A 1300 kg minivan traveling at 21 m/s is heading for th

Answer:

$V_f = 13.8863 \angle 60.89\°$

Explanation:

Our values are,

$m_1 = 950Kg\\v_1 = 16m/s \\m_2 =1300Kg\\v_2 = 21m/s$

We have all the values to apply the law of linear momentum, however, it is necessary to define the two lines in which the study will be carried out. Being an intersection the vehicle of mass m_1 approaches through the X axis, while the vehicle of mass m_2 approaches by the y axis. In the collision equation on the X axis, we despise the velocity of object 2, since it does not come in this direction.

$m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta$

For the particular case on the Y axis, we do the same with the speed of object 1.

$m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_fsin\theta$

By taking a final velocity as a component, we can obtain the angle between the two by relating the equations through the tangent

$Tan\theta = \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}\\Tan\theta = \frac{1300*21}{950*16}\\\theta = tan^{-1}(1.7960)\\\theta = 60.89\°$

Replacing in any of the two functions, given above, we will find the final speed after the collision,

$(950)(16)=(950+1300)V_fcos(60.89)$

$V_f= \frac{(950)(16)}{(950+1300)cos(60.89)}$

$V_f = 13.8863 \angle 60.89\°$

Answer:

$c_u=1540.5J/kg^{\circ}K$

Explanation:

We know that heat relates to mass, specific heat and variation of temperature experimented because of this heat through the equation $Q=mc\Delta T=mc(T_f-T_i)$ . The heat released by the unknown material is absorbed by water, so we have $Q_u=-Q_w$ , and we can write:

$m_uc_u(T_{uf}-T_{ui})=-m_wc_w(T_{wf}-T_{wi})$

Since thermal equilibrium is reached we know that $T_{cf}=T_{wf}=T_f=31^{\circ}C=304^{\circ}K$ , where we have added $273^{\circ}$ to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, as we must do. Since we want the specific heat of the unknown material, we do:
