One train (22,680 kg) moving east at 170 km/h collides with a car (1,200 kg) that was moving north at 5 km/h. They get attached

to each other, moving in the direction of the train. What is the final velocity of the objects and the type of collision? If the collision happened in 1.2X10-3 seconds, what was the force? How much kinetic energy was lost?

  • The final velocity of the objects is 229.82km/hr
  • Since energy was lost after the collision, the type of collision that occurs is an elastic collision.
  • The required force is 1,090,918,000N
  • The amount of Kinetic energy lost is 12,401,976.656Joules

According to the law of collision'

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

Given the following:

m1 = 22,680kg

u1 =170km/h

m2 = 1200kg

u2 = 5km/hr

Get the final velocity "v"

22680(170) + 1200(5) = (22680 + 1200)v

3855600 + 6000 = 12880v

3,861,600 = 12880v

v = 3,861,600/12,880

v = 229.82km/hr

Hence the final velocity of the objects is 229.82km/hr

Since energy was lost after the collision, the type of collision that occurs is an elastic collision.

According to Newton's second law, the formula for calculating the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 22680+1200(229.82-175)/t

Ft = 23880(54.82)

F = 1,309,101.6/0.0012

F = 1,090,918,000N

Hence the required force is 1,090,918,000N

KE lost = Kinetic energy after collision - Kinetic energy before collision

Kinetic energy after collision = 1/2 * 12880 * 229.82²

Kinetic energy after collision = 340,142,976.656 Jolues

Kinetic energy before collision = 1/2 * 22680(170)²+ 1/2*1200(5)²

Kinetic energy before collision = 327,726,000 + 15000

Kinetic energy before collision = 327,741,000

Kinetic energy lost = 340,142,976.656 - 327,741,000 =  12,401,976.656Joules

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin
dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) 1.21\times 10^{15}Hz

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light  \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda

E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}, here \Phi _0 is work function.

\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}= 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }

\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz

A large crane consists of a 20 m, 3,000 kg arm that extends horizontally on top of a vertical tower. The arm extends 15 m toward
Anni [7]

Answer:

m=18000kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Crane Length l=20m

Crane Mass m_a=3000kg

Arm extension at lifting end l_l=15m

Arm extension at counter weight end l_c=5m

Load M_l=5000kg

Generally the equation for Torque Balance is mathematically given by

T_1 *l_c-(m_a*g) *l_c-(T_2)*l_l=0

mg*5 *-(3000*9.8) *5-(5000*9.8)*15=0

m=18000kg
