Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 138000 kg and a velocity of 0.288 m/s, and the second having a mass of 123000 kg and a velocity of -0.131 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

their final velocity is 0.091 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first train, m₁ = 138,000 kg

mass of the second train, m₂ = 123,000 kg

initial velocity of the first train, u₁ = 0.288 m/s

initial velocity of the seocnd train, u₂ = -0.131 m/s (opposite direction to the first)

Let their common final velocity after been coupled = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

(138,000 x 0.288)    +    (-0.131 x 123,000)   =   v(138,000 + 123,000)

39,744   -   16,113   =  v(261,000)

23,631 = v(261,000)

v = 23,631 / 261,000

v = 0.091 m/s

Therefore, their final velocity is 0.091 m/s

An argon gas occupies 56.2 L at 760 torr. If the volume of gas dereases to 1/4 of the original volume ,calculate its final pressure

Answers

Answer:

3040 torr

Explanation:

Applying,

PV = P'V'..................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial Pressure, V = Initial volume, P' = Final pressure, V' = Final volume.

Make P' the subject of the equation

P' = PV/V'................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 760 torr, V = 56.2 L, V' = 56.2/4 = 14.05 L

Substitute these values into equation 2

P' = (56.2×760)/14.05

P' = 3040 torr

Answers

Answer:

T = 0.01 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of the beats of a hummingbird, f = 100 Hz

We need to find the period of the hummingbirds flaps. Let the time is t. We know that the relation between frequency and time period is given by :

T = 1/f

Put all the values,

T = 1/100 = 0.01 s

So, the time period of the humming bird is 0.01 s.

The Keck Observatory is home to the largest Earth-based twin telescopes. The telescopes are located away from city lights, above the clouds where the atmosphere is clear, calm, and dry. In 1999, additional steps were taken to help the telescopes overcome any distortions caused by changes in the atmosphere by adding a laser sighting system. Now, the Keck telescopes can probe distant galaxies and capture images with more detail than even the Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists can now use the Keck telescopes to investigate many questions. What is one question the Keck telescopes would NOT help scientists answer

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The options for the question are

a) How do galaxies rotate?

b) What is the weather on Neptune?

c) What is the core of Saturn made of?

d) What other solar systems have planets?

Solution

The Hubble space telescope was designed and integrated into the extraterrestrial system in order to capture information about the surrounding universe. If the  Keck Observatory has a better observation capacity than the Hubble space telescope then the scientist would be interested to know the surrounding planets in the solar system.

Hence, option D is correct

Determine the power consumed by (a) the blow-dryer and (b) the vacuum cleaner. (c) Determine the ratio of the energy used by the blow-dryer in 16 minutes to the energy used by the vacuum cleaner in 43 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

The correct solution is:

(a) 1680 W

(b) 504 W

(c) 1.240

Explanation:

The given values are:

Voltage,

V = 120 V

Current of blow dryer,

I₁ = 14 A

Current of vacuum cleaner,

I₂ = 4.2 A

Time,

t₁ = 16 min

t₂ = 43 min

As we know,

⇒ [tex]Power (P) = VI[/tex]

(a)

For blow dryer:

⇒ [tex]P_1=V\times I_1[/tex]

        [tex]=120\times 14[/tex]

        [tex]=1680 \ W[/tex]

(b)

For Vacuum cleaner:

⇒ [tex]P_2=V\times I_2[/tex]

        [tex]=120\times 4.2[/tex]

        [tex]=504 \ W[/tex]

(c)

The ratio will be:

= [tex]\frac{Blow \ dryer \ energy}{Vacuum \ cleaner \ energy}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{P_1\times t_1}{P_1\times t_2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1680\times 16}{504\times 43}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{26880}{21672}[/tex]

What is the net force acting on the airplane?
740 N right -->
700 N right -->
100 N left <--
760 N right -->

Answers

Explanation:

700N right

to get the net force

you gotta let one direction be the negative ( the smaller force)

so the total force towards the left is 100N ( 60 + 40= 100)

which is smaller than the right force which is 800 N so you let 100 N be negative

so without even calculating , you can know that it will be moving towards the right because right force > left force

your add both forces ( remember 100 N is negative)

so 800N + ( - 100N)

= 700N

towards the right

Explanation:

For this exercise we see that the unit mass to the spring executes a simple harmonic motion, the maximum mechanical energy is

             Em = ½ k A²

where A is the range of motion

To double the energy we must increase the amplitude or the spring constant

Therefore, to double the total energy we must increase the amplitude by an amount √2

A car travels from A to B and from B back to A.If the distance between A and B is 12 km and it took 20 minutes to travel full , then the average speed and average velocity of the car is

Answers

Answer:

Average speed = 0, Average velocity = 0.02 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A car travels from A to B and from B back to A.

The distance between A and B is 12 km

It took 20 minutes to travel full.

We need to find the average speed and the average velocity of the car.

As the car reaches the point from where it was started, the displacement of the car is equal to 0. As a result, the average velocity is equal to 0.

For average speed,

[tex]s=\dfrac{12+12}{60\times 20}\\\\s=0.02\ m/s[/tex]

What is the resultant force acting on the mass?
A ON
B10N
с

D
200N

Answers

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.

Ron weighs a bottle with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a spring scale. The spring stretches by 1 centimeter. He then weighs a second bottle on the same spring scale. What is the mass of the second bottle, in kg, if the spring stretches by 2 cm

Answers

Answer:

1 kg

Explanation:

Applying,

Hook's law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = force, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension.

But from the question,

The weight of the bottle is the force acting on the spring scale

therefore,

mg = ke............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the bottle, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make k the subject of the equation

k = mg/e............ Equation 3

Given: m = 0.5 kg, e = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

k = (0.5×9.8)/0.01

k = 490 N/m

If the mass of the second bottle is weighed,

given: e = 2 cm = 0.02 m

subtitute into equation 1

m×9.8 = 490×0.02

9.8m = 9.8

m = 9.8/9.8

m = 1 kg.

Hence the mass of the second bottle is 1 kg

what is the dimension formula of power and pressure​

Answers

Answer:

Power = ML²T⁻³

Pressure = ML⁻¹T⁻²

Explanation:

Applying,

Power(P) = Work(W)/Time(t)

P = W/t..................... Equation 1

But

W = Fd............. Equation 2

Where F = force, d = distance

Also,

F = ma.............. Equation 3

Where m = mass, a = acceleration.

Also,

a = v/t................  Equation 4

Where v = velocity

Also,

v = d/t............... Equation 5

Where d = distance

Substitute equation 5 into equation 4

a = d/t²................. Equation 6

Substitute equation 6 into equation 3

F = m(d/t²)........... Equation 7

Susbtitute equation 7 into equation 2

W = m(d/t²)×d

W = md²/t²........... Equation 8

Substitute equation 8 into equation 1

P = (md²/t²)/t

P = md²/t³............ Equation 9

In dimension,

mass(m) = M, distance(d) = L, time(t) = T

Substitute into equation 9

P = ML²/T³

P = ML²T⁻³

And

Pressure(R) = Force(F)/Area(A)

R = F/A................ Equation 10

F = md/t²,

A = d²

Susbtitute into equation 10

R = (md/t²)/d²

R = m/t²d

Therefore,

R = ML⁻¹T⁻²

a bag of sugar is found to have the same weight on planet earth as an identical bag of dry sawdust on planet Jupiter explain why the masses of the two bags must be different ​

Answers

Answer:

Because Jupiter is a much larger planet than Earth, its gravitational pull is 240% stronger than that of earth. This is why sawdust, which is lighter than its equivalent measure of sugar would weigh more on Jupiter.

Explanation:

Let's assume that a type of bag can contain 50 kilograms of sugar. If that same bag was filled up with sawdust instead, it would weigh far less than 50Kg.

If that bag of sawdust, on earth weighed 35Kg for instance, on Jupiter, the new weight would be:

35Kg x 2.4 = 84Kg

Put differently, Jupiter simply has a stronger gravitational pull than earth. This extra pull is attributed to its size.
