A car moving at 60 mph slams on its brakes to stop before hitting a deer. Another identical car traveling at 60 mph slows to a s

top at a stop sign. Who experiences the greatest impulse during the stop

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
8_murik_8 [283]

Complete Question

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75.0 cm . The power is off for 40.0 s , and during this time the flywheel slows down uniformly due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 210 complete revolutions. At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on(in rpm)? How long after the beginning of the power failure would it have taken the flywheel to stop if the power had not come back on, and how many revolutions would the wheel have made during this time?

Answer:

\theta=274rev

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angular velocity \omega=510rpm

Mass m=40.kg

Diameter d 75=>0.75m

Off Time t=40.0s

Oscillation at Power off N=210

Generally the equation for Angular displacement is mathematically given by

 \theta_{\infty}=\frac{w+w_0}{t}t

 w=\frac{2*\theta_{\infty}}{t}-w_0

 w=\frac{28210}{40*(\frac{1}{60})}-510

 w=120rpm

Generally the equation for Time to come to rest is mathematically given by

 t=(\frac{\omega_0}{\omega_0-\omega})t

 t=(\frac{510}{510-120rpm})(40.0)(\frac{1}{60})

 t=0.87min

Therefore Angular displacement is

 \theta =(\frac{120+510}{2})0.87

 \theta=274rev

Which observational tool helped astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discover the
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A radio telescope helped the astronomers discover the CMB.

Explanation:

  • Penzias and Wilson while experimenting with a radio telescope in 1964, accidentally discovered the radiation that exists universally also known as the CMB.
  • This was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" and not the "Steady State Theory"
  • CMB is the faint cosmic radiation that fills up the universe. It provides important data for understanding early universe.
  • This data tells us about the composition of the universe and its age which raises new questions about the universe.

The pressure on a volume of liquid V = 1.0 mº at the surface is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure Patm = 1.00 x 10
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:-2.86*10⁻⁴

Explanation: Use the equation change in volume = (change in pressure * original volume) / Bulks Modulus. ΔV = (-Δp*V₀) / B

Plugging in your numbers, you should get ΔV = (-2.29*10⁷*1) / (8*10¹⁰) = -2.86*10⁻⁴

ΔP = P₂-P₁  ----> ΔP = 2.30*10⁷ - 1.00*10⁵ = 2.29*10⁷

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the averag
CaHeK987 [17]

The speed of tsunami is a.0.32 km. 

Steps involved  :

The equation s = 356d models the maximum speed that a tsunami can move at. It reads as follows: s = 200 km/h d =?

Let's now change s to s in the equation to determine d: s = 356√d 200 = 356√d √d = 200 ÷ 356 √d = 0.562 Let's square the equation now by squaring both sides: (√d)² = (0.562) ² d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

As a result, 0.32 km is roughly the depth (d) of water for a tsunami moving at 200 km/h.
