A 12,500 kg railroad freight car travels on a level track at a speed of 5.2 m/s. It collides and couples with a 22,600 kg second car, initially at rest and with brakes released. What is the speed of the two cars after collision

Answers

Answer 1

Given :

A 12,500 kg railroad freight car travels on a level track at a speed of 5.2 m/s.

It collides and couples with a 22,600 kg second car, initially at rest and with brakes released.

To Find :

The speed of the two cars after collision.

Solution :

It is given that car couples with each other. So speed of both the cars after collision is same. Let, it be v.

Applying conservation of momentum, we get :

[tex]m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2 )v\\\\12500\times 5.2 + 22600\times 0 = ( 35100)v\\\\35100v = 65000\\\\v = 1.85\ m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the speed of the two cars after collision is 1.85 m/s.

A 1.0 kg mass at the end of a spring has an amplitude of 0.10 m and vibrates 2.0 times per second. What is its velocity when it is 0.10 m from equilibrium.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]v=0m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of object[tex]M=10kg[/tex]

Amplitude[tex]A=0.10m[/tex]

SHM [tex]w=2.0 times per second.[/tex]

Distance from equilibrium [tex]0.10m[/tex]

Generally the equation for SHM displacement from equilibrium position is mathematically given by

[tex]v=Aw\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{A^2}}[/tex]

For [tex]x=0.10[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]v=Aw\sqrt{1-\frac{0.10^2}{A^2}}[/tex]

[tex]v=0.10*2\sqrt{1-\frac{0.10^2}{0.10^2}}[/tex]

[tex]v=0.10*2\sqrt{1-1}[/tex]

[tex]v=0m/s[/tex]

A water tank is filled with water up to 3.5m in height. calculate the pressure given by the tank at its bottom.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We are told that the height of the water tank is 3.5 m.

Now, the formula for pressure is;

P = ρgh

Where;

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = 3.5 m

Thus;

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 3.5

P = 34300 N/m²

Answer: The Answer is B (Sorry if this is late)

Explanation:

I couldn’t find the answer to the question myself then found you, with no answer. So I guessed and failed my third question of the quiz, you were worth the sacrifice though ✨

The pair of waves could overlap to produce a wave with a higher amplitude through interference is that two waves of the same amplitude with crests that are perfectly aligned. Hence, option B is correct.

What is Amplitude?

The maximum deflection or distance made by a point on even a vibrating object or wave relative to its equilibrium location is known as the amplitude in physics. It is equivalent to the length of a vibration path divided in half.

A pendulum's amplitude is therefore equal to the distance that the bob travels when swinging through one side to another. Vibrating sources produce waves, whose amplitude is inversely proportional to the source's amplitude.

The largest deviation of any place on the string out of its place when the line is at rest is used to determine the amplitude of a wave propagation, like the wave on such a plucked string.

Therefore, it concludes that option B is correct.

A 1110 kg car moving at 21 m/s East is struck by a truck traveling West. The truck's impact exerts a force of -8000 kg•m/s2 for 0.90 seconds. Calculate the car's final velocity.

Answers

Answer:

v = 15.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1110 kg

Initial velocity, u = 21 m/s

Force,F = -8000 N

Time, t = 0.9 s

We need to find the final velocity of the car.

Force, F = ma

[tex]F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\v-u=\dfrac{Ft}{m}\\\\v=\dfrac{Ft}{m}+u\\\\v=\dfrac{-8000\times 0.8}{1110}+21\\\\v=15.23\ m/s[/tex]

So, the final velocity of the car is 15.23 m/s.

The propeller of an aircraft is spinning at 10 rev/s when the pilot shuts off the engine. The propeller reduces its angular velocity at a constant 2.0rad/s2 for a time period of 40 s. What is the rotation rate of the propeller in 40 s

Answers

One revolution of the propeller corresponds to a rotation of 2π radians, so that the propeller has an initial angular velocity of

10 rev/s = (10 rev/s) • (2π rad/rev) = 20π rad/s

The propeller thus has an angular velocity ω at time t of

ω = 20π rad/s - (2.0 rad/s²) t

so that at t = 40 s, its angular speed is reduced to

20π rad/s - (2.0 rad/s²) (40 s) = (20π - 80) rad/s

Convert this to a rotation rate by dividing this result by 2π :

(20π - 80) rad/s = ((20π - 80) rad/s) • (1/(2π) rev/rad) ≈ -2.73 rev/s

which would suggest that the propeller has started to turn in the opposite direction at a rate of 2.73 rev/s.

What are electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves are made up of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. The electric and magnetic fields are mutually perpendicular to each other. EM waves are transverse in nature.

Electromagnetic waves can travel through the vacuum in the form of radiation. The EM waves travel with the speed of light 3×10⁸ m/s. EM waves have no mass and charge. These waves can carry energy in space.

The behavior of electromagnetic waves depends on its frequency and wavelength. EM waves are classified into 7 types based on its frequency and wavelength. They are classified from radio waves to  Gamma rays.

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength, f = c / λ. Higher frequencies have shorter wavelength and lower frequencies have longer wavelength.

Thus, the wavelength determines the radiation that an electromagnetic waves. Hence, the option D is correct.

A skateboarder starts at point A on the ramp and rises to point B, a maximum height of h = 3.01 m above the top of the ramp.If the amount of work done against friction is insignificant, determine his initial speed (in m/s) at point A

Answers

Answer:

7.68m/s

Explanation:

At point A, height h= 0m where v=?

At point B, height of h = 3.01 m above the top of the ramp v= 0 m/s

The conservation of energy here will be energy at Point A equals energy at point B

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.81m/s^2

(mgh + 1/2 mv^2)A = (mgh + 1/2 mv^2)B

✓But height h at point A= 0 m then energy at point A= 1/2 mv^2

✓At point B , the velocity v= 0 m/s, then Energy at point B= mgh

✓ if we equate both energy at point A and B we have

mgh=1/2 mv^2

Let us make v the subject of formula, and cancel out the "m"

v=√2gh

Then substitute the values

V= √2×9.81×3.01

V=7.68m/s

Hence, his initial speed (in m/s) at point A is 7.68m/s

What is a wave?

The disturbance oscillates periodically (see the periodic motion) with a set frequency and wavelength in the simplest waves. While electromagnetic waves (see electromagnetic radiation) do not require a medium to travel through and can move through a vacuum, mechanical waves, like sound, need one. The characteristics of the medium determine how well a wave travels through it.

The energies are, 2, 8, 18, 32

The amplitudes are, 1, 2, 3, 4

Calculate the energy at 9 of amplitude as shown below,

The general formula can be E = 2 × A²

Here, A is the amplitude, and energy is E,

Explanation:

A batter hits a ball and it is caught 4 seconds later 100 m from home plate. What is the initial velocity (vector!!!) of the ball?(Note: the ball is hit and caught at the same distance from the ground.

Answers

Answer:

The initial velocity vector of the ball is;

[tex]\underset{u}{\rightarrow}[/tex] = 25·i + 19.6·j

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time of flight of the ball = 4 seconds

The horizontal distance from the plate at which the ball is caught = 100 m

Let 'u', represent the initial velocity, we have;

u × cos(θ) × t = u × cos(θ) × 4 s = 100 m

u × cos(θ) = 25 m/s...(1)

[tex]t = \dfrac{2 \cdot u \cdot sin(\theta)}{g} = \dfrac{2 \cdot u \cdot sin(\theta)}{9.8 \ m/s^2} = 4 \ seconds[/tex]

∴ 2·u·sin(θ) = 9.8 m/s² × 4 s = 39.2 m/s

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{2 \cdot u \cdot sin(\theta)}{u \cdot cos(\theta)} = 2 \cdot tan(\theta) = \dfrac{39.2 \ m/s}{25 \ m/s} = 1.568[/tex]

tan(θ) = 1.568/2 = 0.784

θ = arctan(0.784) ≈ 38.096°

The direction of the velocity  vector of the ball, θ ≈ 38.096°

From equation (1), we have;

u × cos(θ) = 25 m/s

∴ u = 25 m/s/cos(θ) = 25 m/s/cos(arctan(0.784)) = 31.7672787629 m/s

The magnitude of the initial velocity vector, u = 31.7672787629 m/s

The vertical component of the initial velocity, [tex]u_y[/tex] = u × sin(θ)

∴ [tex]u_y[/tex] = 31.7672787629 × sin(arctan(0.784))

Therefore, the initial velocity vector of the ball is approximately, v = 31.767 m/s in a direction 38.096° above the horizontal, from which we have;

u = uₓ·i + [tex]u_y[/tex]·j = 25·i + 19.6·j

[tex]\underset{u}{\rightarrow}[/tex] = 25·i + 19.6·j
