The first car, 300-kg car is moving at 20.0 m/s east and hits from behind a second car, 800-kg moving at 12.0m/s traveling aslo

east. The two car are stuck and they move together after the colision. Find the final velocity of the two car.

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

From reading the problem we know this is an inelastic collision since the objects stick together after the collision. We can write this as:

mv + MV = (m+M)x

Lets assign some values now:

m = 300 kg

M = 800 kg

v = 20 m/s

V = 12 m/s

x = Final Velocity (usually written as vf)

Now plug and chug!

(300)(20) + (800)(12) = (300+800)x

Simplify and isolate x (final velocity of both bodies):

6000 + 9600 = 1100x

15600 = 1100x

14.2 = x

14. 2 m/s = final velocity

Answer:

$u_K=0.862$

Explanation:

The force of friction between the quails feet and the ground is:

$F=m*a$

$F_K=m*a$

$F_K=u_k*m*g$

$u_K*m*g=m*a_c$

$u_K*g=a$

$u_K=\frac{a_c}{g}$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So the coefficient of static is solve

$u_K=\frac{\frac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$u_K=\frac{v^2}{r*g}=\frac{(2.6m/s)^2}{0.80m*9.8m/s^2}$

$u_K=0.862$

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

$\tau = Fr$

$\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N$

$\tau = 11.55Nm$

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

$I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2$

$I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2$

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}$

$\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2$

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians $(\pi / 3)$ , therefore

$W = \tau \theta$

$W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}$

$W = 12.09J$

What is the minimum amount of data points an experiment should gather?

nydimaria [60]

The answer is "Three".

At the point when individuals take studies for factual purposes or when the Statistics Agency comes around and gets everyone's data, data from one individual is one information point for them. Toward the finish of its exploration or overview, the organization will have accumulated numerous bits of data from numerous individuals. One piece of information equals with one data point.
