Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m

In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects
ipn [44]

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

mu+MU = mv+MV

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.

jeka94

Answer:

970.2 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of ladder=2.7 m

Mass,M=11 kg

Coefficient of friction=\mu=0.45

\theta=51^{\circ}

Mass of painter=8M

Distance from base=d

We have to find the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the floor on the ladder.

Normal force exerted by floor on the ladder=mg+8mg=9mg

Where g=9.8m/s^2

Normal force exerted by floor on the ladder=9\times 11\times 9.8=970.2N
