(forces and motion) in 2-3 sentences explain why velocity (or speed) is interesting

1 answer:

6 0

‘velocity’ refers to how fast an object is moving ‘in a particular direction’. speed is only how fast something is moving and velocity is how fast something is moving AND the direction. (hope this helps)

Answer:

Part a)

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

Explanation:

Part a)

Let say the collision between Moose and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 500 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$2v_o = 2v_{1f} + v_o + v_{1f}$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{v_o}{3}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{v_o^2}{9})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{4}{9}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{8}{9}$

Part b)

Let say the collision between Camel and the car is elastic collision

So here we can use momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1000 v_o = 1000 v_{1f} + 300 v_{2f}$

also by elastic collision condition we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_o$

now we have

$10v_o = 10v_{1f} + 3(v_o + v_{1f})$

now we have

$v_{1f} = \frac{7v_o}{13}$

Now loss in kinetic energy of the car is given as

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - v_{1f}^2)$

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}m(v_o^2 - \frac{49v_o^2}{169})$

so fractional loss in energy is given as

$f = \frac{\Delta K}{K}$

$f = \frac{\frac{60}{169}mv_o^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2}$

$f = \frac{120}{169}$

Part c)

So from above discussion we have the result that energy loss will be more if the collision occurs with animal with more mass

A magnifier allows one to look at a very near object by forming an image of it farther away. The object appears larger. To creat

Mashcka [7]

In order to create a magnifier in convex lens, you should choose a short focal length that is lesser than 1 meter.

<h3>What is a convex lens?</h3>

A convex lens is also referred to as converging lens and it can be defined as a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image.

In Science, a magnifier refer to an optical instrument that allow us to look at a very near object because its image is generally formed farther away. Thus, the image of the object appears to be much larger.

In this context, you should choose a short focal length that is lesser than 1 meter when you want to create a magnifier in convex lens because the nearer the object is to the lens, the larger would be the image formed.
