How can a high school student have more momentum than a truck

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When truck is at rest while student is under motion

Explanation:

Since it is obvious that the mass of a truck is more than that of a student, we know that momentum is a product of mass and velocity

P=mv where m represent mass, v is velocity. When the student has more speed than that of truck, he exerts more momentum. The only way a student can exert more momentum is by having more speed while the truck is at rest. In such case, the momentum of truck will be zero while momentum of student will have a value

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

At t = 0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 24.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 30.0rad/s2 until a ci
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ=108rad

t =10.29seconds

α=-8.17rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

At t=0, Wo=24rad/sec

Constant angular acceleration =30rad/s²

At t=2, θ=432rad as it try to stop because the circuit break

Angular motion

W=Wo+αt

θ=Wot+1/2αt²

W²=Wo²+2αθ

We need to find θ between 0sec to 2sec when the wheel stop

a. θ=Wot+1/2αt²

θ=24×2+1/2×30×2²

θ=48+60

θ=108rad.

b. W=Wo+αt

W=24+30×2

W=84rad/s

This is the final angular velocity which is the initial angular velocity when the wheel starts to decelerate.

Wo=84rad/sec

W=0rad/s, because the wheel stop at θ=432rad

Using W²=Wo²+2αθ

0²=84²+2×α×432

-84²=864α

α=-8.17rad/s²

It is negative because it is decelerating

Now, time taken for the wheel to stop

W=Wo+αt

0=84-8.17t

-84=-8.17t

Then t =10.29seconds.

a. θ=108rad

b. t =10.29seconds

c. α=-8.17rad/s²

Julli [10]

Answer:  Temperature in Fahrenheit is 577.4

Explanation:

The conversion factor for converting celcius to Fahrenheit is:

F=\frac{9}{5}\times C+32

where F = temperature in Fahrenheit

C = Temperature in Celcius

Given : Temperature difference in Celcius = 303^0C

Putting in the values we get:

F=\frac{9}{5}\times 303+32

F=577.4

Thus the answer in Fahrenheit is 577.4

If the mass of the body is doubled what should be its speed so as to maintain the same kinetic energy ?​
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The speed should be reduced by 1/√2 or 0.707 times

Explanation:

The relationship between the kinetic energy, mass and velocity can be represented by the following equation:

K.E = ½m.v²

In this equation, the mass is inversely proportional to the square of the velocity or speed. This means that as the mass increases, the speed reduces by × 2.

Let; initial mass = m1

Final mass = m2

Initial velocity = v1

Final velocity = v2

According to the question, if the mass of the body is doubled i.e. m2 = 2m

½m1v1² = ½m2v2²

½ × m × v1² = ½ × 2m × v2²

Multiply both sides by 2

(½ × m × v1²)2 = (½ × 2m × v2²)2

m × v1² = 2m × v2²

Divide both sides by m

v1² = 2v2²

Divide both sides by 2

v1²/2= v2²

Square root both sides

√v1²/2= √v2²

v1/√2 = v2

v2 = 1/√2 v1

This shows that to maintain the same kinetic energy if the mass is doubled, the speed should be reduced by 1/√2 or 0.707 times.
