A train mass of 2000kg and speed 35 m/s collides and sticks to an identical train that is initially at rest .After the collision (a) what is the final speed of the entangled system?
(b) what is the kinetitic energy of the system? compare the final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The system would be moving at [tex]17.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].

The kinetic energy of this system would be [tex]612500\; \rm J \![/tex] after the collision.

[tex]612500\; \rm J[/tex] (same amount) of kinetic energy would be lost.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass [tex]m[/tex] and its velocity [tex]v[/tex]. That is: [tex]p = m \cdot v[/tex].

Assume that external forces (e.g., friction) have no effect on this system.  The total momentum of this system would stay the same before and after the collision.

Initial momentum of this system:

Moving train: [tex]\begin{aligned}p &= m \cdot v \\ &= 2000\; \rm kg \times 35\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \\ &= 70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].Since the other train wasn't moving before the collision, its initial momentum would be [tex]0[/tex].

Hence, the momentum of this system would be [tex]70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] before the collision.

Under the assumptions, the collision would not change the momentum of this system. Hence, the momentum of this system would continue to be [tex]70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] after the collision.

However, with two identical trains stuck to each other, the mass of this system would be twice that of just one train: [tex]m = 2 \times 2000\; \rm kg[/tex].

Calculate the new velocity of this system:

[tex]\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{p}{m}\\ &= \frac{70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}{2 \times 2000\; \rm kg} = 17.5\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Calculate the kinetic energy of this system before and after the collision.

Before the collision:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{KE(before)} \\ =\; & \text{KE(moving train)} + \text{KE(stationary train)}\\ =\; & \frac{1}{2} \, m(\text{one train}) \cdot (v(\text{moving train}))^{2} + 0 \\ = \; &\frac{1}{2} \times 2000 \times (35\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ = \; & 1225000\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].

After the collision:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{KE(after)} \\ =\; & \frac{1}{2} \, m(\text{two trains}) \cdot v^{2} \\ = \; &\frac{1}{2} \times (2\times 2000\; \rm kg) \times (17.5\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ = \; & 612500\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].

Change to the kinetic energy of this system:

[tex]1225000\; \rm J - 612500\; \rm J = 612500\; \rm J[/tex].

The spring in the figure has a spring constant of 1400 N/m . It is compressed 17.0 cm , then launches a 200 g block. The horizontal surface is frictionless, but the block's coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is 0.210.
What distance d does the block sail through the air?

Answers

Use the work-energy theorem to find the velocity of the block when it's released by the spring. The work done by the spring on the block as it's restored to equilibrium is

W = 1/2 kx ²

where k is the spring constant and x is the compression of the spring. So

W = 1/2 (1400 N/m) (0.170 m)² = 20.23 J

This is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy ∆K,

W = ∆K

and since it starts from rest, the initial K is zero, leaving us with

W = 1/2 mv ²

where m is the mass of the block and v is its speed, so that

20.23 J = 1/2 (0.200 kg) v ²

==>   v ≈ 14.2 m/s

The block slides at this speed across the frictionless surface until it hits the incline which introduces friction.

First, you need to find the length of the incline. It forms a 45° angle, and the underlying 45°-45°-90° triangle has a hypotenuse of length √2 (2.0 m) ≈ 2.83 m.

Next, you need to find the total work done on the block as it slides up the incline. Use Newton's second law to examine the forces acting on the block during this phase:

• the net force acting on the block in the direction perpendicular to the incline is

F = n - mg cos(45°) = 0

where n = mg cos(45°) ≈ 1.39 N is the magnitude of the normal force and mg cos(45°) ≈ 1.39 N is the perpendicular component of the block's weight;

• the net force acting on the block parallel to the surface is

F = -f - mg sin(45°) = ma

where f = µn = 0.210n ≈ 0.291 N is the magnitude of kinetic friction, mg sin(45°) ≈ 1.39 N is the parallel component of the weight, and a is the acceleration of the block.

Only the parallel forces do work on the block, and this work is negative because friction and weight oppose the block's sliding up the incline. The total work done on the block is then

W = (-0.291 N - 1.39 N) (2.83 m) ≈ -4.74 J

Use the work-energy theorem again to find the block's new speed v at the top of the incline:

W = ∆K

==>   -4.74 J = 1/2 (0.200 kg) v ² - 1/2 (0.200 kg) (14.2 m/s)²

==>   v ≈ 12.4 m/s

And now this becomes a projectile problem. The block travels a horizontal distance x after being launched at an angle of 45° with initial speed 12.4 m/s after time t according to

x = (12.4 m/s) cos(45°) t

Its height y from the 2.0 m-high surface at time t is given by

y = (12.4 m/s) sin(45°) t - 1/2 gt ²

The block lands on the surface when y = 0, which occurs after t ≈ 1.79 s, at which point the block has covered a distance d15.7 m.

The block sail through the air at the distance of "15.8 m"

Given:

Spring constant,

1400 N/m

Mass,

200 g

Block's coefficient,

0.210

By using Work energy theorem, we get

→ [tex]W_{spring}+W_g+W_f = KE_f-KE_i[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

→ [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times 1400\times (0.17)^2- (0.2\times 9.8\times 2)-(0.21\times 0.2\times \frac{9.8}{\sqrt{2} }\times \sqrt{2}\times 2 )= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.2\times V_f^2[/tex]

here,

[tex]V_f = 12.44 \ m/s[/tex]

→ [tex]d = \frac{V_f^2 Sin 2 \Theta}{g}[/tex]

     [tex]= \frac{(12.44)^2 Sin 90^{\circ}}{9.8}[/tex]

     [tex]= 15.8 \ m[/tex]

Thus the answer above is right.

The first and second coils have the same length, and the third and fourth coils have the same length. They differ only in the cross-sectional area. According to theory, what should be the ratio of the resistance of the second coil to the first coil and the fourth coil to the third

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.

Explanation:

The resistance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and inversely proportional to the area of coil and hence inversely proportional to the square of radius of the coil.

So, the ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.

Answers

Answer:

Distance, S = 19.6 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Time = 2 seconds

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

Also, the initial velocity of the object is equal to zero because it's starting from rest.

To find the total distance covered by the object, we would use the second equation of motion;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters. u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds. t represents the time measured in seconds. a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] S = 0*2 + \frac {1}{2}*(9.8)*2^{2}[/tex]

[tex] S = 0 + 4.9*4[/tex]

[tex] S = 4.9*4 [/tex]

Distance, S = 19.6 meters

Therefore, the total distance covered by the object is 19.6 meters.

a. coefficient of linear expansion
b. specific heat
c. initial temperature
d. thermal conductivity
e. density

Answers

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C, is called specific heat of the substance.

The formula of the specific heat is

H = m c (T' - T)

where, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and T' - T is the change in temperature.

So, to know the rise in temperature, by adding the known amount of heat, the specific heat is required.

So, option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

1)

We can use the following equation:

[tex]y_{f}=y_{0}+v_{iy}t-0.5*g*t^{2}[/tex]

Here, the initial velocity in the y-direction is zero, the final y position is zero and the initial y position is 25 m.

[tex]0=25-0.5*9.81*t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]t=2.26\: s[/tex]

2)

The equation of the motion in the x-direction is:

[tex]v_{ix}=\frac{S}{t}[/tex]

[tex]15=\frac{S}{2.26}[/tex]

[tex]S=33.9\: m[/tex]

3)

The velocity in the y-direction of the stone will be:

[tex]v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt[/tex]

[tex]v_{fy}=0-(9.81*2.26)[/tex]

[tex]v_{fy}=-22.17\: m/s[/tex]

Now, the velocity in the x-direction is 15 m/s then the velocity will be:

[tex]v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{fy}^{2}}=\sqrt{15^{2}+(-22.17)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]v=26.77\: m/s[/tex]

4)

The angle of this velocity is:

[tex]tan(\alpha)=\frac{22.17}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=tan^{-1}(\frac{22.17}{15})[/tex]

[tex]\alpha=55.92[/tex]

Then α=55.92° negative from the x-direction.

you just have to divide 35 and 70, the answer is A. 2 times

When you increase your speed from 35 mph to 70 mph, the force of impact you experience will be increased 4 times.

Hence, the correct option is B.

The force of impact in a collision is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. When the speed is doubled (increased from 35 mph to 70 mph), the force of impact will increase by a factor of four ([tex]2^2[/tex]). This is a fundamental concept in physics known as the kinetic energy formula, which is given by:

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) * mass * [tex]velocity^2[/tex]

Since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity, doubling the speed results in four times the kinetic energy and, consequently, four times the force of impact.

Therefore, When you increase your speed from 35 mph to 70 mph, the force of impact you experience will be increased 4 times.
