Physics

Serjik [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

The main hazards of working with electricity are:

  • Electric shock and burns from contact with live parts.
  • Injury from exposure to arcing, fire from faulty electrical equipment or installations.

Final speed after collision with the wall

v_f = -0.4 m/s

before collision the speed of ball initially

v_i = 0.6 m/s

time taken for the collision

\Delta t = 0.2 s

now as per the formula of acceleration we know that

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

now plug in all values in it

a = \frac{-0.4 - 0.6}{0.2}

a = -5.0 m/s^2

so acceleration is - 5 m/s/s for above situation

Which is true about inelastic collisions: a. An inelastic collision does not obey conservation of energy. b. An inelastic collis
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Option c is correct

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions-elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In elastic collision, both kinetic energy and total momentum are conserved. On the other hand, in inelastic collision, total momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved. Thus, option b and d are incorrect.

Total energy is always conserved in both types. Thus, option a is incorrect.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, objects stick together. This happens because maximum kinetic energy is dissipated and used in bonding of the two objects. Thus, correct option is c.

A man (weighing 763 N) stands on a long railroad flatcar (weighing 3513 N) as it rolls at 19.8 m/s in the positive direction of
Burka [1]

Answer:

0.8m/s

Explanation:

Weight of mas,F=763 N

Mass of man=\frac{F}{g}=\frac{763}{9.8}=77.86 kg

By using g=9.8m/s^2

Weight of flatcar=F'=3513 N

Mass of flatcar=\frac{3513}{9.8}=358.5 Kg

Total mass of the system=Mass of man+mass of flatcar=77.86+358.5=436.36 kg

Velocity of system=19.8m/s

Let v be the velocity of flatcar with respect to ground

Velocity of man relative to the flatcar=-4.68m/s

Final velocity of man with respect to ground=v-4.68

By using law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Momentum of car+momentum of flatcar

436.36(19.8)=77.86(v-4.68)+358.5v

8639.928=77.86v-364.3848+358.5v

8639.928+364.3848=436.36 v

9004.3128=436.36v

v=\frac{9004.3128}{436.36}

v=20.6 m/s

Initial speed of flatcar=Speed of system

Increase in speed=Final speed-initial speed=20.6-19.8=0.8m/s
