A compact car, mass 660 kg, is moving at 1.00 ✕ 102 km/h toward the east. The driver of the compact car suddenly applies the bra

Maslowich

Answer: $59.43\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

Explanation:

Given

mass of car $m=660 kg$

Initial velocity of car $=102 km/h\approx 28.33 m/s$ towards east

Time taken to stop $t=2.1 s$

Force exerted $F_{avg}=4.8\times 10^3 N$

change in momentum is given by impulse imparted to the car

$Impulse(J)=-F\cdot t$

$J=-4.8\times 10^3\times 2.1$

$J=-59.49\times 10^3 kg-m/s$

negative Sign indicates that impulse is imparted opposite to the direction of motion

magnitude of momentum $J=59.49\times 10^3$

A vector has a magnitude of 46.0 m and points in a direction 20.0° below the positive x-axis. A second vector, , has a magnitude

irina1246 [14]

Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b. $\mid A\mid=46 m$

$\theta=20^{\circ}$ below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis= $x=360-20=340^{\circ}$

x-component of vector A= $A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24$

y-Component of vector A= $A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64$

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis= $x'=42^{\circ}$

x-component of vector B= $B_x=86cos42=63.64$

y-Component of vector B= $B_y=86sin42=57.62$

Vector A= $A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j$

Vector B= $B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j$

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

$C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j$

$C=106.88i+41.98j$

c.Direction= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}$

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W
