A 1500 kg car traveling 5.0 m/s collides head on with a 3000 kg truck traveling

Physics

Setler [38]2 years ago

  • m1=1500kg
  • m_2=3000kg
  • v_1=5m/s
  • v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s

A 77.0 kg woman slides down a 42.6 m long waterslide inclined at 42.3. at the bottom, she is moving 20.3 m/s.how much work did f
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

5.791244495 KNm

Explanation:

The height h is given by, h=42.6sin42.3^{o}

Potential energy, PE is given by

PE=mgh where m is mass of the woman, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2} and h is already given hence substituting 77 Kg for m we obtain

PE=77*9.81*42.6sin42.3^{o}=21656.7095 Nm

PE=21.6567095 KNm

We also know that Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2} where v is the velocity and substituting v for 20.3 we obtain

KE=0.5*77*20.3^{2}=15865.465 Nm

KE=15.865465 KNm

Friction work is the difference between PE and KE hence

Friction work=21.6567095 KNm-15865.465 Nm=5.791244495 KNm

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.

Which of the following materials offer the least electrical resistance? Pure water, wood, salt water, glass
Vanyuwa [196]

Salt water offers the least electrical resistance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Least electrical resistance indicates that any material which readily allows the electric current through itself, and shows more conductivity.

Here pure water doesn't contain any ions, so it is a bad conductor.

Wood and glass are also bad conductors of electricity.

Salt water contains ions, which conducts electricity which means it shows least electrical resistance.
