A car of mass M traveling with velocity v strikes a car of mass M that is at rest. The two cars’ bodies mesh in the collision. The loss of the kinetic energy the moving car undergo in the collision is

a) a quarter of the initial kinetic energy.
b) half of the initial kinetic energy.
c) all the initial kinetic energy.
d) zero.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

Let's propose the solution of the problem, for this we form a system formed by the two cars, so that the forces during the collision are internal, the momentum is conserved

instantly starts. Before the crash

         p₀ = M v +0

final instant. After the crash

        m_f = (M + M) v_f

the moment is preserved

        p₀ = p_f

        M v = 2 M v_f

        v_f = v / 2

let's look for kinetic energy

before the crash

       K₀ = ½ M v²

after the crash

       K_f = ½ 2M (v_f)²

       K_f = ½ 2M (v/2)²

       K_f = (½ M v²) ½

       K_f = K₀ / 2

therefore the correct answer is B

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 8.85-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor

Answers

Answer:

The new voltage is 17.7 V.  

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 8.85 V

The spacing is doubled.

When it is disconnected, the charge remains same,

q = C V ..... (1)

where, C is the capacitance, V is the voltage.  

The capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the two plates.

So, when the spacing is doubled, the capacitance is halved.

Let the new voltage is V'.

C V = C' V'

C x 8.85 = C/2 x V'

V' = 17.7 V  

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction. The same block is then projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction. In which case did the total mechanical energy of the block decrease the least

Answers

Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

You have a simple pendulum that oscillates with a period of 2 s as you stand on the surface of Earth. Your friend, an astronaut standing on the surface of the Moon, has a pendulum of the same length. What would be the period of oscillation of your friend’s pendulum?

a. Less than 2 s
b. The answer depends on whether the amplitudes are the same
c. More than 2 s
d. Exactly 2 s

Answers

Answer:

c. More than 2 s

Explanation:

First, we will find the length of the pendulum:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\2\ s = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81\ m/s^2}}\\\\4\ s^2 = 4\pi^2 (\frac{l}{9.81\ m/s^2})\\\\l = \frac{(4\ s^2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}{4\pi^2} \\\\l = 0.99\ m[/tex]

Now, the value of g becomes 1.625 m/s² on the surface of the moon. So the time period will be:

[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.99\ m}{1.625\ m/s^2}}\\\\[/tex]

T = 4.9 s

Therefore, the correct option is:

c. More than 2 s

A ball with a mass of 275 g is dropped from rest, hits the floor, and rebounds upward. If the ball hits the floor with a speed of 2.60 m/s, rebounds with a speed of 1.84 m/s, and is in contact with the floor for 1.40 ms,determine the following.
(a) magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum (Let up be in the positive j hat direction.)
_______________kg

Answers

Answer:

-0.209 kg.m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the ball, m = 275g or 0.275 kg

Speed or velocity, v = 2.60 m/s

Momentum, P = mv

Momentum when velocity is 2.60 = 0.275 x 2.60 = 0.715 kg.m/s

Speed or velocity, v = 1.84 m/s

Momentum, P = mv

Momentum when velocity is 1.84= 0.275 x 1.84 = 0.506 kg.m/s

Change in magnitude =  0.506 - 0.715 = -0.209 kg.m/s

2. A Plate 0.02 mm distance from a fixed Plate moves at a velocity Of 0.6mls and requires a force of 1.962 N Per unit area to maitain this Speed. Determine the viscosity of the fluid between the plates?​

Answers

Answer:

6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Explanation:

Since the shear force, F = μAu/y where μ = viscosity of fluid between plates, A = area of plates, u = velocity of fluid = 0.6 m/s and y = separation of plates = 0.02 mm = 2 × 10⁻⁵ m

Since F = μAu/y

F/A = μu/y where F/A = force per unit area

Since we are given force per unit area, F/A = 1.962 N per unit area = 1.962 N/m²

So,  μ = F/A ÷ u/y

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

μ = F/A ÷ u/y

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.6 m/s/2 × 10⁻⁵ m

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.3 × 10⁵ /s

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Ns/m²

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Two identical ambulances with loud sirens are driving directly towards you at a speed of 40 mph. One ambulance is 2 blocks away and the other is 10 blocks away. Which of the following is true?

 closer ambulance passes you.

Answers

Answer:

c) The pitch of the two sirens sounds the same to you

Explanation:

The pitch does not depend on the distance of the object from the observer.

As per the given data

pitch = frequency

Frequency = [tex]f_{0}[/tex]  [tex]\frac{V +- V_{0}}{V +- V_{s}}[/tex]

[tex]f^{'}[/tex] = [tex]f_{0}[/tex]  [tex]\frac{V }{V - V_{s}}[/tex]

Hence, the pitch of the two sirens remains the same for the observer.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5120 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest 12.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the + x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in m/s:

a. for the return flight
b. for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning

Answers

Answer:

a)   v = -4.74 m / s, b)  v = 0 m / s

Explanation:

Average speed is

          v = Δx /Δt

a) the variation of the distance on the return trip is

          Δx = -5120 km = -5120 10³ km

the negative sign is because the bird is going back

          Δt = 12.5 days (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1 h) = 1.08 10⁶ s

          v = -5120 10³ / 1.08 10⁶

          v = -4.74 m / s

b) the displacement for the round trip is zero, therefore the average velocity is

         v = 0 m / s

The sound from a trumpet radiates uniformly in all directions in 20C air. At a distance of 5.00 m from the trumpet the sound intensity level is 52.0 dB. The frequency is 587 Hz. (a) What is the pressure amplitude at this distance

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The intensity level (B) of a sound wave is given by:

B = 10log(I/I₀);

where I₀ is the threshold intensity = 1 * 10⁻¹² W/m², I is the intensity at distance 5 m, B is the intensity level = 52 dB

Substituting gives:

[tex]52=10log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )\\\\log(\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )=5.2\\\\I=1.58*10^{-7}\ W/m^2[/tex]

The pressure is given by:

[tex]I=\frac{p_{max}^2}{2\rho v} \\\\\rho=air\ density=1.2\ kg/m^3,v=speed\ of\ sound\ in\ air=344\ m/s,p_{max}=pressure:\\\\p_{max}=\sqrt{2\rho vI}=\sqrt{2*1.58*10^{-7}*1.2*344} =1.14*10^{-2}Pa[/tex]

A bucket of mass m in a well is held up by a rope. the rope is wound around a drum of radius r there is also a handle of length R attached to the drum. the tension in the rope is equal to T. If the buket is allowed to fall into the well, which point will have the greatest angular acceleration, a point on the rim of the drum (at radius r) or a point on the end of the handle (at radius R)?

a. The point on the rim of the drum.
b. The point at the end of the handle.
c. They will both have the same angular acceleration.

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is C

Explanation:

This is a system with circular motion, there is a relationship between the linear and angular variables

         a = α r

with the cube going down the well, the tension of the leather is maintained therefore the acceleration of the cube is

          W = m a

          -mg = ma

          a = -g

this acceleration a is the same as that at the edge of the drum.

         α = a / r

where we can see that the angular acceleration is constant

consequently the correct answer is C

how many atoms are in a 4.7 g copper coin?​

Answers

3.11 is the answer I think

Answer:

x = 4.45 * 10 ^22  Note. Technically, this should be rounded to 4.5 * 10^22. There are only 2 sig digits.

Explanation:

You have to assume that the coin is pure copper, which I doubt.  What a coin is actually made of  depends on when it was minted. But for the sake of this question, we'll assume coins are pure copper.

Copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 grams / mol

So 4.7 g of copper = 4.7 / 63.545 mol

We have 0.07396 mol of copper

1 mol of anything = 6.02 * 10^23 atoms (in this case).

0.07396 mol        = x

Cross Multiply

               

1 * x = 0.07396 * 6.02 * 10^23

x = 4.45 * 10 ^22  atoms of copper

calculate the electrical potential at a point P a distance of 1 m from either two to charge of +10 micro coulomb and -5 micro coulomb which are 10 cm apart calculate also the potential energy of a +2 micro coulomb charge placed at a point p​

Answers

Answer:

a)  V = 45 10³ V, b) U = 4.59 J

Explanation:

a) The electric potential for a series of point charges is

         V = k ∑ [tex]\frac{q_i}{r_i}[/tex]

in this case point P is at a distance of 1 m from each charge, so the point is located perpendicular to the charges at its midpoint

 

         V = k ( [tex]\frac{q_1}{r} + \frac{q_2}{r}[/tex])

         V = 9 10⁹ (10 - 5/ 1) 10⁻⁶

         V = 45 10³ V

b) the potential energy is

           U = k (  [tex]\frac{q_1q}{r} + \frac{q_2q}{r} + \frac{q_1q_2}{r_2}[/tex] )

where r = 1m and r₂ is the distance between the two charges r₂ = 0.10 m

           U = 9 10⁹ (10 2 / 1 - 5 2/1 - 10 5 /0.10) 10⁻¹²

           U = 9 10⁻³  510

           U = 4.59 J
