A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to

try leaping it with his car. The side the car is on is 21.3 m above the river, whereas the opposite side is a mere 2.3 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 54.0 m wide. 1. How fast should the car be traveling just as it leaves the cliff in order to just clear the river and land safely on the opposite side? 2. What is the speed of the car just before it lands safely on the other side?

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Let the initial horizontal velocity of car be v .

For vertical displacement

vertical displacement h = 21.3 - 2.3 = 19 m

Time taken to fall by 19 m be t

19 = 1/2 x 9.8 t² ( initial downward velocity is zero )

t = 1.97 s

This is also the time taken to cover horizontal displacement of 54 m which is width of river .

horizontal speed v = 54 / 1.97 m /s

v = 27.41 m /s

2 )

At the time of landing on other side , car will have both vertical and horizontal speed .

vertical speed

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 1.97 = 19.31 m /s

horizontal speed will remain same as  the initial speed = 27.41 m /s

Resultant speed = √ ( 27.41² + 19.31² )

= √ ( 751.3 + 372.87)

= 33.52 m /s

Yes, if the object is larger. while a solid block of iron will have a greater mass than a block of aluminum of the same size, a much larger block of aluminum can have greater mass than the smaller block of iron.

Two identical billiard balls traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision and rebound. If the balls had twice the mass,
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a) No difference

Explanation:

Since the billiard balls are identical , they have the same mass. Also they have the same speed

Since the angular momentum is conserved and the total energy is conserved ( if we assume elastic collision)

1/2 m1 * v i1² +1/2 m2 * v i1² = 1/2 m1 * v f1² +1/2 m2 * v f2²

where m= mass , vi= initial velocity , vf= final velocity

since m1=m2=m , vi1=vi2=vi

1/2 m1 * v i1² +1/2 m2 * v i1² = 1/2 m1 * v f1² +1/2 m2 * v f2²

m * v i² = 1/2 m (v f1² +v f2² )

vi² = 1/2(v f1² +v f2² )

since the 2 balls are indistinguishable from each other (they have identical initial mass and velocity) there is no reason for a preferential speed for one of the balls and therefore its velocities must be equal . Thus vf1=vf2=vf

therefore

v i² = 1/2(v f1² +v f2² ) = v i1² = 1/2* 2vf² = vf²

and thus

vi= vf

in conclusion, there is no difference in speed after the rebound
