A 4.8-g particle is moving toward a stationary 7.4-g particle at 3.0 m/s. What percentage of the original kinetic energy is convertible to internal energy?

Answers

Answer:

60.185 percent of the original kinetic energy is convertible to internal energy.

Explanation:

Let suppose that collision between both particles is entirely inellastic. If there is no external forces exerted on any of the particles, then we can apply the Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation. That is:

[tex]m_{A}\cdot v_{A,o} + m_{B}\cdot v_{B,o} = (m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot v[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{m_{A}\cdot v_{A,o}+v_{B}\cdot v_{B,o}}{m_{A}+m_{B}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{A}[/tex] - Mass of the 4.8-g particle, measured in kilograms.

[tex]m_{B}[/tex] - Mass of the 7.4-g particle, measured in kilograms.

[tex]v_{A,o}[/tex] - Initial speed of the 4.8-g particle, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v_{B,o}[/tex] - Initial speed of the 7.4-g particle, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Final speed of the collided particles, measured in meters per second.

If we know that [tex]m_{A} = 4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg[/tex], [tex]m_{B} = 7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg[/tex], [tex]v_{A,o} = 3\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]v_{B,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the final speed of the system is:

[tex]v = \frac{(4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)+(7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg+7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg}[/tex]

[tex]v = 1.180\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

During the collision part of the initial energy is dissipated in the form of heat, which is related to the internal energy ([tex]\Delta U[/tex]), measured in joules. According to the Principle of Energy Conservation, we have the following model:

[tex]\Delta U = K_{A}+K_{B}-K[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]K_{A}[/tex], [tex]K_{B}[/tex] - Initial translational kinetic energies of each particle, measured in joules.

[tex]K[/tex] - Final translational kinetic energy of the collided particles, measured in joules.

By applying the definition of translational kinetic energy, we expand and simplify the equation above:

[tex]\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{A}\cdot v_{A,o}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{B}\cdot v_{B,o}^{2} -\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{A}+m_{B})\cdot v^{2}[/tex] (3)

If we get that  [tex]m_{A} = 4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg[/tex], [tex]m_{B} = 7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg[/tex], [tex]v_{A,o} = 3\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]v_{B,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]v = 1.180\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], the internal energy associated with the system is:

[tex]\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\cdot (7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg+7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(1.180\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U = 0.013\,J[/tex]

And the initial energy of both particles is:

[tex]E_{o} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.8\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(3\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (7.4\times 10^{-3}\,kg)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]E_{o} = 0.0216\,J[/tex]

Lastly, the percentage of the original kinetic energy that is convertible to internal energy is: ([tex]\Delta U = 0.013\,J[/tex], [tex]E_{o} = 0.0216\,J[/tex])

[tex]\%e = \frac{\Delta U}{E_{o}}\times 100\,\%[/tex] (4)

[tex]\%e = \frac{0.013\,J}{0.0216\,J}\times 100\,\%[/tex]

[tex]\%e = 60.185\,\%[/tex]

60.185 percent of the original kinetic energy is convertible to internal energy.

Consider a person standing in an elevator that is moving at a constant velocity down. The upward normal force N exerted by the elevator floor on the person is Select one: a. smaller than the downward force of gravity on the person. b. identical to the downward force of gravity on the person. c. larger than the downward force of gravity on the person.

Answers

Answer:

b. identical to the downward force of gravity on the person.

Explanation:

For an object in an elevator,

F = mg - ma       (g > a)

But since the velocity is uniform, a = 0.

Then,

F = mg - 0

F = mg

This is the actual weight of the object.

The object does not feel weightless, so that its actual weight can be measured during the downward motion of the elevator with uniform velocity.

Thus, the upward normal force, N, exerted by the elevator floor on the person is identical to the downward force of gravity on the person.

"2.40 A pressure of 4 × 106N/m2 is applied to a body of water that initially filled a 4300 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after the pressure is applied."

Answers

Answer:Final volume after pressure is applied=4,292cm3

Explanation:

Using the bulk modulus formulae

We have that The bulk modulus of waTer is given as  

K =-V dP/dV

Where  K, the bulk modulus of water = 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

2.15 x 10^9N/m^2= - 4,300 x  4 × 106N/m2 / dV

dV = - 4,300 x  4 × 10^6N/m^2/ 2.15 x 10^9N/m^2

dV (change in volume)= -8.000cm^3

Final volume after pressure is applied,

V= V+ dV

V= 4300cm3 + (-8.000cm3)

=4300cm3 - 8.000cm3

Final Volume, V =4,292cm3

What was the marble's final speed?

Answers

Explanation:

the formula of speed is distance traveled by time it work

__________________________________________________________

Explanation:

We are given:

Distance travelled = 150 cm

Final Speed of the Marble:

Speed of the marble = Distance travelled / Time taken

Speed of the marble = 150 / 4.8

Speed of the marble = 31.25 cm/sec

While riding a multispeed bicycle, the rider can select the radius of the rear sprocket that is fixed to the rear axle. The front sprocket of a bicycle has radius 12.0 cm. If the angular speed of the front sprocket is 0.600 rev/s, what is the radius of the rear sprocket for which the tangential speed of a point on the rim of the rear wheel will be 5.00 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

2.9 cm

Explanation:

Assuming that the rear wheel has a radius of 0.330 m

Given that

r(a) = 12 cm -> 0.12 m

w(a) = 0.6 rev/s -> 3.77 rad/s

v = 5 m/s

r(w) = 0.330 m

The speed on any point on the rim at the sprocket in the front is

v(a) = w(a).r(a) = 3.77 * 0.12 = 0.4524 m/s

Also,

v(a) = speed at any point on the chain

v(b) = speed at any point on the rim of the rear sprocket

v(a) = v(b)

where v(b) = w(b).r(b)

Recall that the speed at any point on the rear wheel is v, where

v = w(b).r(w)

5 = w(b) * 0.330

w(b) = 5/0.330

w(b) = 15.15 rad/s

On substituting this in the equation, we have

v(b) = w(b).r(b).

Remember also, that v(a) = v(b), so

0.4524 = 15.15 * r(b)

r(b) = 0.4524 / 15.15

r(b) = 0.029 m -> 2.9 cm

Therefore, the radius of the rear sprocket needed is 2.9 cm

Given that,

The radius of a circular disk, r = 2 m

Angular acceleration, [tex]\alpha =2\ rad/s^2[/tex]

We need to find the tangential acceleration of a point on the edge of the disk at the instant that its angular speed is 1.0 rev/s.

Let a is the tangential acceleration. The relation between the angular acceleration and tengential acceleration. Let it is a.

[tex]a=\alpha r\\\\a=20\times 2\\\\a=40\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the tangential acceleration is [tex]40\ m/s^2[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

3.49m/s

Explanation:

We have mess of kit = 4kg

Then pieces are 2kg

3m/s due north

5m/s, 30⁰ due south

MiVi = m1v1 + m2v2

We break velocities to have x and y components

MiVi = m1v1(cosθ+sin θ1j) + m2v2(v2cos θ2i+sin2 θj)

θ1 = 90⁰north

θ2 = 30⁰ north east

Vi = 2/4x3m/s(cos90i + sin90j)+2/4x5m/s(cos30i + sin30j)

= 2.16i + 2.75j

Vi = √Vx²+Vy²

Vi = √ (2.16)²+(2.75)²

Vi = 3.49m/s

This is the original speed of the kit

A rock dropped from a 5 m height accelerates at 10 m/s and strikes the ground 1 s later. If the rock is dropped

from a height of 2,5 m, its acceleration of fall is

Answers

Answer:

10 m/s²

Explanation:

The above question simply indicates motion under gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity (i.e acceleration of free fall) has a constant value of 10 m/s².

Whether the rock is dropped from a height of 5 m or 2.5 m, it will accelerate at 10 m/s² before striking the ground. The only thing that will be different is the time taken for the rock to strike the ground when released from both 5 m and 2.5 m.

Thus, the rock will have a constant acceleration of 10 m/s² irrespective of the height to which it was released.

Since acceleration due to gravity is a constant,  the acceleration of the rock dropped from the 5 m height is the same as that dropped from the 2.5 m height and is equal to 10 m/s²

What is the acceleration due to gravity?

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration a body falling freely from a height above the earth surface which a body experiences due to the gravitational force of attraction of the earth on the body.

Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value which is equal to 10 m/s².

Therefore, the acceleration of the rock dropped from the 5 m height is the same as that dropped from the 2.5 m height and is equal to 10 m/s².

How much work would be done on a particle with 5.0 C of charge on it if it moved from an equipotential line at 5.5 volts to another equipotential line at 3.5 volts?

Answers

Answer:

10J

Explanation:

In this question we have the following information

The charge of the particle is q = 5 C

The equipotenetial level is V1 = 5.5 v

and also the

equipotenetial level is V2 = 3.5 v

So we calculate the

work done W=q x (v1-v2)

workdone = 5 x (5.5-3.5)

= 5x2

=10 J

Workdone = 10 J

So we conclude that the workdone on a particle with these information is 10j

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth's surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average intensity of approximately 2.00 kJ·s−1·m^−2. If the sunlight consists of photons with an average wavelength of 510.0 nm, how many photons strike a 5.20 cm^2 area per second?

Answers

Answer:

The number of photons per second that strike the given area is 2.668 x 10⁸ photons/second

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the sunlight, I = 2.00 kJ·s−1·m^−2

area of incident, A = 5.2 cm² = 5.2 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Energy of incident photons per second on the given area;

E = IA

E = (2000)( 5.2 x 10⁻⁴)

E = 1.04 J/s

Energy of a photon is given is by;

[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{(6.626*10^{-34})(3*10^8)}{(510*10^{-9})}\\\\E = 3.898*10^{-19} \ J/photon[/tex]

The number of photons per second that strike the given area is;

[tex]n = \frac{1.04 \ J/s}{3.898*10^{-19} \ J/photon} \\\\n = 2.668*10^{18} \ photons/second[/tex]

Therefore, the number of photons per second that strike the given area is 2.668 x 10⁸ photons/second

A solid spherical ball and a hollow spherical ball made out of the same material are released from rest at the top of a ramp. They roll down the ramp without slipping to the bottom. On what quantities does the speed of each ball at the bottom of the ramp depend?A. Radius of the ball.B. Distribution of mass within the ball.C. Mass of the ball.D. Height of the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

D. Height of the ramp.

Explanation:

The solid spherical ball is expected to have more mass than that of the hollow spherical ball. And the speed of both balls would be influenced by the gravitational force as they roll down the ramp. Thus, the masses would move at different speed.

At the bottom of the ramp, the speed of the balls can be varied by varying the height of the ramp. So that the speed of both balls depend on the height of the ramp. As the height of the ramp increases, consequently, the speed of the balls increases. And if the height of the ramp decreases, the speed of the balls decreases consequently.

When a block slides down an inclined plane, normal force does zero work. Hence, option (a) is correct.

What is force?

The definition of force in physics is: The push or pull on a massed object changes its velocity.

An external force is an agent that has the power to alter the resting or moving condition of a body. It has a direction and a magnitude. A spring balance can be used to calculate the Force. The Newton is the SI unit of force.

The component of a contact force in mechanics known as the normal force is perpendicular to the surface that an item encounters.

As normal force always acts perpendicular to the motion, this force does zero work.

But friction force the weight acts in opposite direction of the motion, this force does work against the motion.

In an inclined plane, the parallel component of  weight does work along the motion.
