A 2028 kg Oldsmobile traveling south on Abbott Road at 14.5 m/s is unable to stop on the ice covered intersection for a red light at Saginaw Street. The car collides with a 4146 kg truck hauling animal feed east on Saginaw at 9.7 m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the impact. Calculate the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the impact. Give the speed for your first answer and the compass heading for your second answer. (remember, the CAPA abbreviation for degrees is deg) -1.75

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 8.1 m/s

θ = -36.4º (36.4º South of East).

Explanation:

Assuming no external forces acting during the collision (due to the infinitesimal collision time) total momentum must be conserved.Since momentum is a vector, if we project it along two axes perpendicular each other, like the N-S axis (y-axis, positive aiming to the north) and W-E axis (x-axis, positive aiming to the east), momentum must be conserved for these components also.Since the collision is inelastic, we can write these two equations for the momentum conservation, for the x- and the y-axes:We can go with the x-axis first:

        [tex]p_{ox} = p_{fx} (1)[/tex]

         ⇒ [tex]m_{tr} * v_{tr}= (m_{olds} + m_{tr}) * v_{fx} (2)[/tex]

Replacing by the givens, we can find vfx as follows:

       [tex]v_{fx} = \frac{m_{tr}*v_{tr} }{(m_{tr} + m_{olds)} } = \frac{4146kg*9.7m/s}{2028kg+4146 kg} = 6.5 m/s (3)[/tex]

We can repeat the process for the y-axis:

        [tex]p_{oy} = p_{fy} (4)[/tex]

        ⇒[tex]m_{olds} * v_{olds}= (m_{olds} + m_{tr}) * v_{fy} (5)[/tex]

Replacing by the givens, we can find vfy as follows:

       [tex]v_{fy} = \frac{m_{olds}*v_{olds} }{(m_{tr} + m_{olds)} } = \frac{2028kg*(-14.5)m/s}{2028kg+4146 kg} = -4.8 m/s (6)[/tex]

The magnitude of the velocity vector of the wreckage immediately after the impact, can be found applying the Pythagorean Theorem to vfx and vfy, as follows:

       [tex]v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{fx} ^{2} +v_{fy} ^{2} }} = \sqrt{(6.5m/s)^{2} +(-4.8m/s)^{2}} = 8.1 m/s (7)[/tex]

In order to get the compass heading, we can apply the definition of tangent, as follows:

       [tex]\frac{v_{fy} }{v_{fx} } = tg \theta (8)[/tex]

      ⇒ tg θ = vfy/vfx = (-4.8m/s) / (6.5m/s) = -0.738 (9)

      ⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (-0.738) = -36.4º

Since it's negative, it's counted clockwise from the positive x-axis, so this means that it's 36.4º South of East.

A 35 kg box initially sliding at 10 m/s on a rough surface is brought to rest by 25 N

of friction. What distance does the box slide?

Answers

Answer:

the distance moved by the box is 70.03 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 35 kg

initial velocity of the box, u = 10 m/s

frictional force, F = 25 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the deceleration of the box;

-F = ma

a = -F / m

a = (-25 ) / 35

a = -0.714 m/s²

The distance moved by the box is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

v is the final velocity of the box when it comes to rest = 0

0 = 10² + (2 x - 0.714)d

0 = 100 - 1.428d

1.428d = 100

d = 100 / 1.428

d = 70.03 m

Therefore, the distance moved by the box is 70.03 m.

A salmon jumps up a waterfall 2.4 m high. With what minimum speed did the salmon leave the water below to reach the top?

Answers

Answer:

6.86 m/s

Explanation:

The minimal velocity needed is when we have only vertical motion, then i will think in the problem only in one axis.

I suppose that the only force, in this case, is the gravitational force acting on the fish.

Then the gravitational equation of the fish will be:

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

For the velocity equation we need to integrate over time to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the fish and is what we want to find.

For the position equation we need to integrate over time again to get:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + p0

p0 is the initial position of the fish, and because he starts one the water, the initial position is p0 = 0 m

Then the equation is:

p(t) = (1/2)*(-9.8 m /s^2)*t^2 + v0*t

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t

We know that the maximum height is 2.4m

The value of time at which the fish gets his maximum height is when the velocity of the fish is equal to zero, then we first need to solve:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^2)*t + v0 = 0

      t = v0/9.8m/s^2

Now we replace this in the position equation to get the maxmimum height, which is equal to 2.4m

2.4m = p( v0/9.8m/s^2) =  (1/2)*(-9.8 m /s^2)*(v0/9.8m/s^2)^2 + v0*(v0/9.8m/s^2)

2.4m = (1/2)(-v0)^2(-9.8 m /s^2) + v0^2/(9.8m/s^2))

2.4m = (1 - 1/2)*v0^2/(9.8m/s^2)

2.4m = 0.5*v0^2/(9.8m/s^2)

2.4m/0.5 = v0^2/(9.8m/s^2)

4.8m*(9.8m/s^2) = v0^2

√(4.8m*(9.8m/s^2)) = v0 = 6.86 m/s

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.30 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.660 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling

Answers

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

[tex]v = f\lambda[/tex]

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = [tex]\frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\[/tex]

v = 1.2 m/s

A solid sphere of radius R = 5 cm is made of non-conducting material and carries a total negative charge Q = -12 C. The charge is uniformly distributed throughout the interior of the sphere.

What is the magnitude of the electric potential V at a distance r = 30 cm from the center of the sphere, given that the potential is zero at r = [infinity] ?

Answers

Answer:

V= -3.6*10⁻¹¹ V

Explanation:

Since the charge is uniformly distributed, outside the sphere, the electric field is radial (due to symmetry), so applying Gauss' Law to a spherical surface at r= 30 cm, we can write the following expression:

      [tex]E* A = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{0} } (1)[/tex]

At r= 0.3 m the spherical surface can be written as follows:

       [tex]A = 4*\pi *r^{2} = 4*\pi *(0.3m)^{2} (2)[/tex]

Replacing (2) in (1) and solving for E, we have:

      [tex]E = \frac{Q}{4*\pi *\epsilon_{0}*r^{2} } = \frac{(9e9N*m2/C2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)^{2} y} (3)[/tex]

Since V is the work done on the charge by the field, per unit charge, in this case, V is simply:V = E. r (4)Replacing (3) in (4), we get:

       [tex]V =E*r = E*(0.3m) = \frac{(9e9N*m2/C2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)} = -3.6e11 V (5)[/tex]

V = -3.6*10¹¹ Volts.

The electrical potential module will be [tex]-3.6*10^-^1^1 V[/tex]

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

To answer this, we owe Gauss's law. This is because the charge is evenly distributed across the sphere. This will be done as follows:

[tex]E*A=\frac{Q}{^E0} \\\\\\A=4*\pi*r^2[/tex]

Solving these equations will have:

[tex]E=\frac{Q}{4*\pi*^E0*r^2} \\E= \frac{(9e9N*m2/c2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)^2y}[/tex]

As we can see, the electric potential is carried out on the field charge. In this case, using the previous equations, we can calculate the value of V as follows:

[tex]V=E*r\\V=E*0.3m= \frac{(9e9N*m^2/C2)*(-12C)}{0.3m} \\V= -3.6*10^-^1^1 V.[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

hello your question has some missing parts

A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 3 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball vertically upward so that it just reaches the ceiling.

answer : c) 0.39 sec

               d)  2.25 m

               e) 1.92 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the first ball = 7.67 m/sec ( calculated )

Time required for first ball to reach ceiling = 0.78 secs ( calculated )

Determine how long after the second ball is thrown do the two balls pass each other

Distance travelled by first ball downwards when it meets second ball can be expressed as : d = 1/2 gt^2 =  9.8t^2 / 2

hence d = 4.9t^2  ----- ( 1 )

Initial speed of second ball = first ball initial speed = 7.67 m/sec

3 - d = 7.67t - 4.9t  ---- ( 2 )

equating equation 1 and 2

3 = 7.67t   therefore t = 0.39 sec

Determine how far the balls are above the Juggler's hands ( when the balls pass each other )

form equation 1 ;

d = 4.9 t^2 = 4.9 *(0.39)^2 = 0.75 m

therefore the height the balls are above the Juggler's hands is

3 - d = 3 - 0.75 = 2.25 m

determine their velocities when the pass each other

velocity = displacement / time

velocity = d / t = 0.75 / 0.39 sec  = 1.92 m/sec
