Answer: x ≈ 36.3 cm

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum during the collision

0.0340(120) + 1.24(0) = (0.0340 + 1.24) v

v = 3.2025 m/s

The kinetic energy of the block/bullet mass will convert to spring potential

½kx² = ½mv²

x = √(mv²/k)

x = √(1.274(3.2025²) / 99.0)

x = 0.363293... ≈ 36.3 cm

Kyle is flying a helicopter at 125 m/s on a heading of 325 o . If a wind is blowing at 25 m/s toward a direction of 240.0 o , wh

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter ( $\vec v_{H}$ ), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind ( $\vec v_{W}$ ), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind ( $\vec v_{H/W}$ ), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

$\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W}$ (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

$\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha)$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec v\|$ - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

$\alpha$ - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

$\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W})$ (3)

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)$

If we know that $\|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ}$ and $\alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}$ , then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)$ $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

A 120-kg roller coaster cart is being tested on a new track, and a crash-test dummy is loaded into it. The roller coaster starts

avanturin [10]

Answer:

vb = 22.13 m/s

So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.

Explanation:

In order to find the speed of roller coaster at Point B, we will use the law of conservation of Energy. In this situation, the law of conservation of energy states that:

K.E at A + P.E at A = K.E at B + P.E at B

(1/2)mvₐ² + mghₐ = (1/2)m(vb)² + mg(hb)

(1/2)vₙ² + ghₐ = (1/2)(vb)² + g(hb)

where,

vₙ = velocity of roller coaster at point a = 0 m/s

hₙ = height of roller coaster at point a = 25 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

vb = velocity of roller coaster at point B = ?

hb = Height of Point B = 0 m (since, point is the reference point)

Therefore,

(1/2)(0 m/s)² + (9.8 m/s²)(25 m) = (1/2)(vb)² + (9.8 m/s²)(0 m)

245 m²/s² * 2 = vb²

vb = √(490 m²/s²)

vb = 22.13 m/s

So, the only thing that was measured here was the height of point A relative to point B. And the Law of Conservation of Energy was used.

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in

Scrat [10]

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

for the first one: 

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

for the second one :

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20 μFμF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potenti

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a)Q=71.4 μ C

b)ΔV' = 10.2 V

Explanation:

Given that

C ₁= 8.7 μF

C₂ = 8.2 μF

C₃ = 4.1 μF

The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V

When connected in series

1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2

C=2.1 μF

As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q

Q= C ΔV

Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C

Q=71.4 μ C

As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.

Q'= C' ΔV'

C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃ (For parallel connection)

C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF

C'=21 μF

Q'= C' ΔV'

Q'=3 Q

3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'

ΔV' = 10.2 V
