A 0.75 kg model car is moving west at a speed of 9.0 m/s when it collides head-on with a 2.00 kg model truck that is traveling e

ast at a speed of 10.0 m/s. After the collision, the 0.75 kg model car is now moving east at 11 m/s. What is the speed and direction of the model truck after the collision?

Answer:

  2.5 m/s east

Explanation:

Let east be the positive direction for velocity.

The change in momentum of the 0.75 kg model car is ...

  m1·v2 -m1·v1 = (0.75 kg)(11 m/s) -(0.75 kg)(-9 m/s)

  = (0.75 kg)(20 m/s) = 15 kg·m/s

The change in momentum of the 2.0 kg model car is the opposite of this, so the total change in momentum is zero.

  m2·v2 -m2·v1 = (2 kg)(v2 m/s) -(2 kg)(10 m/s) = 2(v2 -10) kg·m/s

The required relation is ...

  15 kg·m/s = -2(v2 -10) kg·m/s

  -7.5 = v2 -10 . . . . divide by -2

  2.5 = v2 . . . . . . . add 10

The velocity of the model truck after the collision is 2.5 m/s east.

A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are
RSB [31]

Answer: 6.125 ft

Explanation:

If this dish has the form of a concave upward parabola and its vertex p is at the origin, its corresponding equation is:

x^{2}=4py

Where:

x is the radius, which can be found by dividing the diameter d=14 ft by half. Hence x=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{14 ft}{2}=7 ft

y=2 ft is the depth

p is the vertex of the parabola, where its base is

Finding p:

p=\frac{x^{2}}{4y}

p=\frac{(7 ft)^{2}}{4(2 ft)}

Finally:

p=6.125 ft This is where the the receiver should be placed

Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate 22 cm 3 22 cm in size. The heat gen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The temperature of the Aluminium plate 44.84⁰C

Explanation:

Number of transistors = 4

Since the heat dissipated by each transistor is 12W

Total heat dissipated, Q = 4 * 12 = 48 W

Q = 48 W

Cross sectional Area of the Aluminium plate, A = 2(l * b)

l = Length of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

b = width of the aluminium plate = 22 cm = 0.22 m

A =2( 0.22 * 0.22 )

A = 0.0968 m²

From the heat balance equation, Q = hAΔT

h = 25 W/m²·K

A = 0.0968 m²

ΔT = T - T(air)

T(air) = 25°C

ΔT = T - 25°C

Q = 25 * 0.0968 * (  T - 25)

Q = 2.42 (T - 25)

Substitute Q = 48 into the equation above

48 =  2.42 (T - 25)

T - 25 = 19.84

T = 25 + 19.84

T = 44.84 ⁰C

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at +164 m/s undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationary carbon nucleus of m
Irina18 [472]
The concept of this problem is the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. To obey the law, the momentum before and after collision should be equal:

m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂', where
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the proton and the carbon nucleus, respectively,
v₁ and v₂ are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus before collision, respectively,
v₁' and v₂' are the velocities of the proton and the carbon nucleus after collision, respectively,

m(164) + 12m(0) = mv₁' + 12mv₂'
164 = v₁' + 12v₂'  --> equation 1

The second equation is the coefficient of restitution, e, which is equal to 1 for perfect collision. The equation is

(v₂' - v₁')/(v₁ - v₂) = 1
(v₂' - v₁')/(164 - 0) = 1
v₂' - v₁'=164 ---> equation 2

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously, v₁' =  -138.77 m/s and v₂' = +25.23 m/s. This means that after the collision, the proton bounced to the left at 138.77 m/s, while the stationary carbon nucleus move to the right at 25.23 m/s.
