On a safety test course, a 1000 kg car heading north at 5 m/s collides head-on with an 800 kg car heading south at 4 m/s. At the

Luden [163]

Answer:

The speed is $3.5\frac{m}{s}$ and the direction is heading north.

Explanation:

In collisions the force exerted by the objects that collide is higher enough than the external forces that we can neglect that external forces, with that assumption we can use the conservation fo momentum law that states, final total momentum (pf) is equal initial total momentum (pi) if there’re not external forces or they are small enough to be neglected. Mathematically:

$p_f=p_i$

The total momentum is the sum of the momentum of each of the bodies we're dealing, in our case the moment of each car, then:

$p_{nf}+p_{sf}=p_{ni}+p_{si}$

with pn the momentum of the 1000kg car heading north and ps the 800kg car heading south. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, then:

$m_nv_{nf}+m_sv_{sf}=m_nv_{ni}+m_sv_{si}$ (1)

It's important to note that when we talk about momentum and velocity direction matters, so we're are going to choose a system of reference where quantities pointing north are positive and pointing south are negative. So, the initial velocity of 1000 kg car is vni=5 m/s, initial velocity of 800 kg car is vsi=-4 m/s and the final velocity of 1000 kg car is vnf=-1 m/s. Now we can solve (1) for vsf and use the values we already have:

$v_{sf}=\frac{m_nv_{ni}+m_sv_{si}-m_nv_{nf}}{m_s}=\frac{(1000)(5)+(800)(-4)-(1000)(-1)}{800}$

$v_{sf}=3.5\frac{m}{s}$

Because the sign is positive the direction is to heading north.

The half-life of Iodine-131 is 8.0252 days. If 14.2 grams of I-131 is released in Japan and takes 31.8 days to travel across the

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Half-life problems are modeled as exponential equations. The half-life formula is $P=P_o\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{k}}$ where $P_o$ is the initial amount, $k$ is the length of the half-life, $t$ is the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial measurement was taken, and $P$ is the amount that remains at time $t$ .

$P=14.2\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$

<u>Deriving the half-life formula</u>

If one forgets the half-life formula, one can derive an equivalent equation by recalling the basic an exponential equation, $y=a b^{t}$ , where $t$ is still the amount of time, and $y$ is the amount remaining at time $t$ . The constants a and b can be solved for as follows:

Knowing that amount initially is 14.2g, we let this be time zero:

$y=a b^{t}$

$(14.2)=ab^{(0)}$

$14.2=a *1$

$14.2=a$

So, $a=14.2$ , which represents out initial amount of the substance, and our equation becomes: $y=14.2 b^{t}$

Knowing that the "half-life" is 8.0252 days (note that the unit here is "days", so times for all future uses of this equation must be in "days"), we know that the amount remaining after that time will be one-half of what we started with:

$\left(\frac{1}{2} *14.2 \right)=14.2 b^{(8.0252)}$

$\dfrac{7.1}{14.2}=\dfrac{14.2 b^{8.0252}}{14.2}$

$0.5=b^{8.0252}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[8.0252]{b^{8.0252}}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=b$

Recalling exponent properties, one could find that $\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{\frac{1}{8.0252}}=b$ , which will give the equation identical to the half-life formula. However, recalling this trivia about exponent properties is not necessary to solve this problem. One can just evaluate the radical in a calculator:

$b=0.9172535661...$

Using this decimal approximation has advantages (don't have to remember the half-life formula & don't have to remember as many exponent properties), but one minor disadvantage (need to keep more decimal places to reduce rounding error).

So, our general equation derived from the basic exponential function is:

$y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^t$ or $y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$ where y represents the amount remaining at time t.

<u>Solving for the amount remaining</u>

With the equation set up, substitute the amount of time it takes to cross the Pacific to solve for the amount remaining:

$y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^{(31.8)}$ $y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{(31.8)}{8.0252}}$

$y=14.2* 0.0641450581$ $y=14.2*(0.5)^{3.962518068}$

$y=0.9108598257$ $y=14.2* 0.0641450581$

$y=0.9108598257$

Since both the initial amount of Iodine, and the amount of time were given to 3 significant figures, the amount remaining after 31.8days is 0.911g.

The force P is applied to the 45-kg block when it is at rest. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force exerte

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Check attachment for free body diagram of the question.

I used the free body diagram and the angles given in the diagram missing in the question above, but I used the data given in the above question.

Explanation:

Let frictional force be Fr acting down the plane

Let analyze the structure before inserting values

Using Newton's second law along the y-axis

ΣFy = Fnet = m•ay

Since the body is not moving in the y-direction, then ay = 0

N+PSinβ — WCosθ = 0

N+PSin20—441.45Cos15 = 0

N+PSin20—426.41 = 0

N = 426.41 — PSin20 , equation 1

The maximum Frictional force to be overcome is given as

Fr(max) = μsN

Fr(max) = 0.25(426.41 — PSin20)

Fr(max)= 106.6 —0.25•PSin20

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P, equation 2

This is the maximum force that must be overcome before the body starts to move

Using Newton's law of motion in the x direction

Note, we took the upward direction up the plane as the direction of motion since the force want to move the block upward

Fnetx = ΣFx

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ — Fr

Fnetx = P•Cos20—441.45•Sin15—Fr

Fnetx = 0.9397P — 114.256 — Fr

Equation 3

When Fnetx is positive, then, the body is moving up the plane, if Fnetx is negative, then, the maximum frictional force has not yet being overcome and the object is still i.e. not moving

a. When P = 0

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(0)

Fr(max)= 106.6 N

So, 106.6N is the maximum force to be overcome

So, here the only force acting on the body is the weight and it acting down the plane, trying to move the body downward.

Wx = WSinθ

Wx = 441.45× Sin15

Wx = 114.256 N.

Since the force trying to move the body downward is greater than the maximum static frictional force, then the body is not in equilibrium, it is moving downward.

So, finding the magnitude of frictional force

From equation 1

N = 426.41 — PSin20 , equation 1

N = 426.41 N, since P=0

Then, using law of kinetic friction

Fr = μk • N

Fr = 0.22 × 426.41

Fr = 93.81 N.

b. Now, when P = 190N

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(190)

Fr(max) = 106.6 —16.2469

Fr(max)= 90.353 N

So, 90.353 N is the maximum force to be overcome

Now the force acting on the x axis is the horizontal component of P and the horizontal component of the weight

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ

Fnetx = 190Cos20 — 441.45Sin15

Fnetx = 64.29N

So the force moving the body up the incline plane is 64.29N

Fnetx < Fr(max)

Then, the frictional force has not being overcome yet.

Then, the body is in equilibrium.

Then, applying equation 3.

Fnetx = 0.9397P — 114.256 — Fr

Fnetx = 0, since the body is not moving

0 = 0.9397(190) —114.246 — Fr

Fr = 64.297 N

Fr ≈ 64.3N

c. When, P = 268N

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(268)

Fr(max) = 106.6 —16.2469

Fr(max)= 83.68 N

So, 83.68 N is the maximum force to be overcome

Now the force acting on the x axis is the horizontal component of P and the horizontal component of the weight

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ

Fnetx = 268Cos20 — 441.45Sin15

Fnetx = 137.58 N

So the force moving the body up the incline plane is 137.58 N

Fnetx > Fr(max)

Then, the frictional force has being overcome.

Then, the body is not equilibrium.

So, finding the magnitude of frictional force

From equation 1

N = 426.41 — 268Sin20 , equation 1

N = 334.75 N, since P=268N

Then, using law of kinetic friction

Fr = μk • N

Fr = 0.22 × 334.75

Fr = 73.64 N

d. The required force to initiate motion is the force when the block want to overcome maximum frictional force.

So, Fnetx = Fr(max)

Px — Wx = Fr(max)

From equation 1

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P,

P•Cosβ-W•Sinθ = 106.6 — 0.08551P

P•Cos20 — 441.45•Sin15 = 106.6 — 0.08551P

P•Cos20—114.256=106.6 - 0.08551P

PCos20+0.08551P =106.6 + 114.256

1.025P=220.856

P = 220.856/1.025

P = 215.43 N

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc

igor_vitrenko [27]

Remember what acceleration is? It's how fast the speed is changing over a period of time.

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

So in dt = 2 secs, she sped up from 6 to 10 m/s and so dv = (10-6) m/s.

Now that you know dv and dt, you can calculate the acceleration a!
