The brakes in car A and car B stop working and they need to stop. Car A and car B have the same mass. Car A is traveling at 30 miles per hour, smashes into a big wall, and is brought to rest in a collision that lasts for a fraction of a second. Car B was also traveling at 30 mph but it drives out into a field of grasses and sand and finally comes to rest after a bumpy 20 second ride. Which car gets the larger impulse?

Answers

Answer:

Both have equal impulse.

Explanation:

Let the mass of cars be m.

Then the Force acting on each of them for taking them to state of rest:

(Using Newton's second law of motion)

[tex]F_A=\frac{m\times (0-30)}{\Delta t_A}[/tex]

[tex]F_A=-30\frac{m}{\Delta t_A}[/tex] ...................................(1) (negative sign is associated with direction, here we are concerned about the magnitude only)

[tex]F_B=\frac{m\times (0-30)}{\Delta t_B}[/tex]

[tex]F_B=-30\frac{m}{\Delta t_B}[/tex] ...................................(2)

[tex]\because \Delta t_A<\Delta t_B[/tex]

[tex]\therefore F_A>F_B[/tex]

We know that impulse is given as:

[tex]J=F\times \Delta t[/tex] ........................................(3)

So, from eq. (1), (2) & (3)

[tex]J_A=F_A\times \Delta t_A[/tex]

[tex]J_A=-30m[/tex]

&

[tex]J_B=F_B\times\Delta t_A[/tex]

[tex]J_B=-30m[/tex]

Hence both have equal impulse.

A train is travelling at 50 m s−1 when the driver applies the brakes and gives the train a constant deceleration of magnitude 0.50 m s−2 for 100 s. Describe what happens to the train. Calculate the distance travelled

Answers

Answer:

The strain will come to rest after traveling some distance.

distance traveled = 2500 m

Explanation:

The strain will come to rest after traveling some distance.

Applying,

s = ut+at²/2................... Equation 1

Given: u = initial velocity, a = deceleration, t = time, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 50 m/s, t = 100s, a = -0.5 m/s²(deceleration)

Substitute these values into equation 1

s = 50(100)+(-0.5)(100²)/2

s = 5000-2500

s = 2500 m

Hence the distance traveled is 2500 m

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a First Law of thermodynamics problem. We have to remember that the total energy available to a system is constant throughout the whole problem and that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So we need to find the total energy available right at the start. Well it just so happens that we are told that the total energy is 1000J and that it is all potential energy when the sphere is at rest and is 25 m off the ground. If the object isn't moving, all the energy is potential until it starts moving and the energy begins to convert from potential to kinetic a little bit at a time. The thing that we don't know is the mass of the shpere. Begin with the fact that the PE = 1000 (I'm going to se 2 sig fig's since there's only 1 in 1000). If

PE = 1000 and PE = mgh, then

1000 = m(9.8)(25) so

m = 4.1 kg

We also need the height at which this sphere has a PE of 600. Again, if

PE = 600 and PE = mgh, then

600 = (4.1)(9.8)h so

h = 15 Filling in the total energy equation now, using the fact that the total energy available to the system is 1000J:

TE = PE + KE and

1000 = (4.1)(9.8)(15) + [tex]\frac{1}{2}(4.1)v^2[/tex] and we are looking for v.

1000 = 6.0 × 10² + 2.1v² so

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{1000-6.0*10^2}{2.1} }[/tex] and

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{4.0*10^2}{2.1} }[/tex] gives us

v = 14 m/s

If the radius of curvature of a mirror is 15m and the distance of the object from the mirror is 10m. Find the distance of the image from the mirror and the magnification of the object in meter

Answers

Answer:

Data given.

focal length (f)=15m÷2=7.5m

Distance of the object(U)=10m

Image distance (v)=?

Magnification (M)=?

Solution:

From:

1/f=1/u+1/v

1/7.5=1/10+1/v=75

then v=75m

Magnification, M=u/v

=75/10=7.5

Then magnification=7.5

Answer:

v = 30 m and m = 3

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the mirror, R = 15 m

Focal length, f = 7.5 m

Object distance, u = -10 m

We need to find the image distance and the magnification of the object.

Using mirror's formula,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{(7.5)}+\dfrac{1}{(-10)}\\\\v=30\ m[/tex]

The magnification of the object in mirror is given by :

[tex]m=\dfrac{-v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{-30}{-10}\\\\m=3[/tex]

So, the distance of the image from the mirror and the magnification of the object are 30 m and 3 respectively.

To celebrate her win, Naomi Osaka hits a ball into the stands at 40. m/s and at an angle 30.° above the horizontal. On its way down, the ball is caught by a spectator 12 m above the point where the ball was hit.

a) Calculate the time it takes the tennis ball to reach the spectator.

b) Calculate the ball's horizontal range (horizontal distance travelled).

Answers

Answer:

(a) t = 0.75 s

(b) d = 26 m

Explanation:

Height, h = 12 m

Angle, A = 30 degree

initial velocity, u = 40 m/s

(a) Let the time is t.

Use second equation of motion

 [tex]h = u t + 0.5 at^2\\\\12 = 40 sin 30 t - 0.5 \times10 \times t^2\\\\12 = 20 t - 5 t^2\\\\5 t^2 - 20 t + 12 =0 \\\\t = \frac{20\pm \sqrt{400-240}}{10}\\\\t = \frac{20\pm 12.65}{10}\\\\t = 3.3 s, 0.75 s[/tex]

(b) d = u cos A t

d = 40 x cos 30 x 0.75 = 26 m

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire

Answers

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing.

URGENT A student runs at 4.5 m/s [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes and then he turns and runs at 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes. a. What was his average speed? b. What was his displacement? PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

As far as the displacement goes, we have 2 displacement vectors. If we didn't have the angles to deal with, this would be a much simpler process, but then that wouldn't be any fun at all, would it? I'll deal with the average speed first, then the displacement, which is a vector addition problem.

The average speed is found by adding together the distances the student traveled and then dividing this sum by the total time he spent traveling. If we are told that the student runs at 4.5 m/s for 3.0 minutes, we can use this to find out the distance he ran during that time interval. However, the units are not the same. We will find the distance the student traveled by convering the time to seconds.

3.0 minutes = 180 seconds, and

4.1 minutes = 246 seconds.

That means that the distance he ran in 180 seconds is found by multiplying this time be the speed at which he ran:

4.5 m/s(180 s) = 810 m and

3.5 m/s(246 s) = 860 m (rounded to follow the rules of sig dig).

This makes the speed equation look like this:

[tex]s=\frac{810+861}{180+246}=\frac{1671}{426}=3.9\frac{m}{s}[/tex] That's the average speed, which is NOT at all the same as the displacement. Displacement is where he ended up in reference to where he started. The angles play a huge part in this math (that is very involved, to say the least). We begin by restating the displacement of each "leg" of this journey.

The first leg took him 810 m at 207 degrees and

the second leg took him 860 m at 325 degrees

To find the x and y components of these 2 legs, or parts, we have to use the cos and sin formulas. We will call the first leg A and the second leg B. First the x components of both A and B:

[tex]A_x=810cos207[/tex] and

[tex]A_x=-720[/tex]

[tex]B_x=860cos325[/tex] and

[tex]B_x=704[/tex] and we add these to get the x-component of the resultant vector, C:

  -720

+  704

   -10 (rounded, as needed, to the tens place).

Now for the y-components of the resultant vector:

[tex]A_y=810sin207[/tex] and

[tex]A_y=-370[/tex]

[tex]B_y=860sin325[/tex] and

[tex]B_y=-490[/tex] and we add these to get the y-component of the resultant vector, C:

  -370

+ -490

 -860

Since the x component is negative and so is the y, we are in QIII, so when we finally find our angle, we will have to add 180 to it.

For the magnitude of the displacement vector, in m:

[tex]C_{mag}=\sqrt{(-10)^2+(-860)^2}[/tex] which gives us

[tex]C_{mag}=860m[/tex]

Now, because displacement is vector, we also need the angle. We find that is the formula

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{C_y}{C_x})[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-860}{-10})=90[/tex] (rounded correctly), and then we add 180 to give us a final direction of 270 degrees.

So the final displacement of the student is 860 m at 270 degrees
