Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ

Fittoniya [83]

To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>

A water main pipe of diameter 10 cm enters a house 2 m below ground. A smaller diameter pipe carries water to a faucet 5 m above

Lemur [1.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 cm

Distance = 2 m

Speed $v_{1}= 2\ m/s$

Speed $v_{2}=7\ m/s$

Pressure in main pipe $P_{1}=2\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(I). We need to calculate the diameter

Using equation of continuity

$Av_{1}=Av_{2}$

$\pi(\dfrac{d_{1}}{2})^2\times v_{1}=\pi(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times v_{2}$

$(\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times2=(\dfrac{d_{2}}{2})^2\times7$

$d_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{25\times2\times4}{7}}$

$d_{2}=5.345\ cm$

(II). We need to calculate the pressure the gauge pressure

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

$P_{2}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$P_{2}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000(4-49)-1000\times 9.8\times(5)$

$P_{2}=1.28500\times10^{5}\ Pa$

(III). If it is possible to carry water to a faucet 17 m above ground,

Using Bernoulli equation

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh=P_{3}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2+\rho g h_{3}$

$P_{3}=P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2-\rho g(h_{1}-h_{3})$

Here, $h_{3}=0$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{3}=2\times10^{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times4-1000\times 9.8\times17$

$P_{3}=3.5400\times10^{5}\ Pa$

Hence, This is required solution.
