At what speed does a 2000 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18000 kg truck going 21 km/hr?
Answer:
v = 17.5 m/s = 63 km/h
Explanation:
The general expression for the kinetic energy of one moving object is as follows:[tex]K = \frac{1}{2}*m *v^{2} (1)[/tex]
where m = mass of the object, v= speed of the object.
In order to get the value of the kinetic energy of the truck in Joules, we need to convert km/hr to m/s first, as follows:[tex]21 km/hr * \frac{1 hr}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 5.83 m/seg (2)[/tex]
Now, replacing (2) and m = 18000 kg in (1), we get:[tex]K = \frac{1}{2}*18000 kg *(5.83m/s)^{2} = 306250 J (3)[/tex]
This value must be the same for the 2000 kg compact car, so we can write:[tex]K = 306250 J = \frac{1}{2}*2000 kg *v^{2} (4)[/tex]
Solving for v, we get:[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{306250}{1000} (m/s)2} = 17. 5 m/s = 63 km/h (5)[/tex]
A plane flying at a speed of 59.1 m/s is dropping a package 521 m above the intended target. How long does it take for the package to hit the ground?
A.) 10.3 seconds
B.) 0.1 seconds
C.) 106.3 seconds
D.) 8.8 seconds
Answer:
t = 10.31 seconds which agrees with answer option A)
Explanation:
Notice that the horizontal velocity of the plane imparted to the package, doesn't affect the vertical motion for which the original (vertical velocity) is zero.
Then the equation for the distance travelled by the package is:
d = (1/2) a t^2
in our case, d = 521 m, and a = g (acceleration of gravity 9.8 m/s^2)
then we can solve for t in the equation:
521 = 9.8/2 t^2
t^2 = 521/4.9
t^2 = 106.32 s^2
t = 10.31 seconds

An ideal gas occupies 0.4 m3 at an absolute pressure of 500 kPa. What is the absolute pressure if the volume changes to 0.9 m3 and the temperature remains constant?
Answer:
2.22 kPaExplanation:
The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is
[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]
Since we are finding the new volume
[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\[/tex]
From the question we have
[tex]V_2 = \frac{0.4 \times 500000}{0.9} = \frac{200000}{0.9} \\ = 222222.2222... \\ = 222222[/tex]

A golfer hits the ball off the tee at an angle of thirty-five degrees from the horizontal with a speed of 46 m/s. It lands on the green, which is elevated 5.50 m higher than the tee. How much time elapsed from when the ball was hit to when it landed on the green?
Answer:
t = 5.16 seconds.
Explanation:
The flight time can be found using the following equation:
[tex] y_{f} = y_{0} +v_{0y}*t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]
Where:
t: is the time
g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
y₀: is the initial height = 0
[tex]y_{f}[/tex]: is the final height = 5.50 m
[tex]v_{0y}[/tex]: is the initial vertical velocity = v*sin(35)
v: is the speed = 46 m/s
[tex] 5.50 = 46*sin(35)*t - \frac{1}{2}9.81*t^{2} [/tex]
By solving the above cuadratic equation we have:
t₁= 0.22 s and t₂= 5.16 s
We will take the solution equal to 5.16 seconds, since in 0.22 seconds (very short time) the ball is going up and in 5.16 seconds it landed on the green.
Therefore, 5.16 seconds have passed since the ball was hit until it landed.

A child whose weight is 287 N slides down a 7.20 m playground slide that makes an angle of 31.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between slide and child is 0.120. (a) How much energy is transferred to thermal energy? (b) If she starts at the top with a speed of 0.559 m/s, what is her speed at the bottom?
Answer:
a
[tex]H =212.6 \ J[/tex]
b
[tex]v = 7.647 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The child's weight is [tex]W_c = 287 \ N[/tex]
The length of the sliding surface of the playground is [tex]L = 7.20 \ m[/tex]
The coefficient of friction is [tex]\mu = 0.120[/tex]
The angle is [tex]\theta = 31.0 ^o[/tex]
The initial speed is [tex]u = 0.559 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally the normal force acting on the child is mathematically represented as
=> [tex]N = mg * cos \theta[/tex]
Note [tex]m * g = W_c[/tex]
Generally the frictional force between the slide and the child is
[tex]F_f = \mu * mg * cos \theta[/tex]
Generally the resultant force acting on the child due to her weight and the frictional force is mathematically represented as
[tex]F =m* g sin(\theta) - F_f[/tex]
Here F is the resultant force and it is represented as [tex]F = ma[/tex]
=> [tex]ma = m* g sin(31.0) - \mu * mg * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]a = g sin(31.0)- \mu * g * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]a = 9.8 * sin(31.0) - 0.120 * 9.8 * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=>[tex]a = 4.039 \ m/s^2[/tex]
So
[tex]F_f = 0.120 * 287 * cos (31.0)[/tex]
=> [tex]F_f = 29.52 \ N[/tex]
Generally the heat energy generated by the frictional force which equivalent tot the workdone by the frictional force is mathematically represented as
[tex]H = F_f * L[/tex]
=> [tex]H = 29.52 * 7.2[/tex]
=> [tex]H =212.6 \ J[/tex]
Generally from kinematic equation we have that
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]
=> [tex]v^2 = 0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \sqrt{0.559^2 + 2 * 4.039 * 7.2}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = 7.647 \ m/s[/tex]
A person standing on top of a 30.0 m high building throws a ball with an initial velocity of 20. m/s at an angle of 20.0° below horizontal. How far from the base of the building will the ball land?
Answer:
Explanation:
horizontal component of velocity of throw = 20 cos20 = 18.8 m /s
vertical downwards component = 20 sin20 = 6.84 m /s
time to displace by height 30 m = t , initial velocity u = 6.84 m /s
h = ut + 1/2 gt²
30 = 6.84 t + .5 x 9.8 t²
4.9 t² + 6.84 t - 30 = 0
t = - 6.84 ±√( 6.84² + 4 x 4.9 x 30 ) / 2x 4.9
= - 6.84 ±√( 46.78 + 588 ) / 9.8
= - 6.84 ±√(634.78 ) / 9.8
= - 6.84 ±25.2 / 9.8
= 1.87 s
horizontal displacement in 1.87 s
= 18.8 x 1.87
= 35.15 m .
If a person Travels 100 metre due east and then returns to the same place his total displacement is 200. (needed ASAP)
A. True
B. False
Distance is the total path covered by the object
Here, 200 m is the distance covered by the person and NOT the displacement
Displacement of an object is nothing more than the shortest path between the initial and the final point
If the person travelled 100m and came back, his initial and final point will remain the same which means that he will have a displacement of 0 m

A 6.0-kilogram cart initially traveling at 4.0 meters per second east accelerates uniformly at 0.50 meter per second squared east for 3.0 seconds. What is the speed of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval? A. 1.5 m/s B. 5.5 m/s G. 3.0 m/s D. 7.0 m/s
Answer: 5.5m/s
Explanation:
vf=vi+at
vf= 4.0m/s + (0.50m/s^2)(3.0s)
The speed of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval is 5.5 meter per seconds.
Given the following data:
Initial velocity = 4 m/sMass of cart = 6 KgAcceleration = 0.5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]Time = 3 secondsTo find the speed of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval, we would use the first equation of motion;
[tex]V = U + at[/tex]
Where:
U is the initial velocity.V is the final velocity. a is the acceleration. t is the time measured in seconds.Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]V = 4 + 0.5(3)\\\\V = 4 + 1.5[/tex]
Final velocity, V = 5.5 m/s.
Therefore, the speed of the cart at the end of this 3.0 second interval is 5.5 meter per seconds.

A cyclist is riding along at a speed of 20.7 when she decides to apply the brakes which gave a deceleration applied was a rate of -3.4 m/s2 over the span of 7.8 s. What distance does she travel over that period of time.
Answer:
The distance is 58.03 m
Explanation:
Constant Acceleration Motion
It occurs when the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.
Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:
[tex]v_f=v_o+at[/tex]
The distance traveled by the object is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}[/tex]
The conditions of the problem state the cyclist has an initial speed of v0=20.7 m/s during t=7.8 seconds and acceleration of -3.4 m/s^2.
The final speed is:
[tex]v_f=20.7+(-3.4)\cdot 7.8[/tex]
[tex]v_f=20.7-26.52[/tex]
[tex]v_f=-5.82\ m/s[/tex]
Note the cyclist has stopped and come back because his speed is negative. Now calculate the distance:
[tex]\displaystyle x=20.7\cdot 7.8+\frac{(-3.4)\cdot 7.8^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=161.46-103.43[/tex]
x=58.03 m
A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the
horizontal. A) How long the ball is in the air? B)What is the maximum
height the ball can reach?
(a) The ball's height y at time t is given by
y = (20 m/s) sin(40º) t - 1/2 g t ²
where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve y = 0 for t :
0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) t - 1/2 g t ²
0 = t ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 g t )
t = 0 or (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 g t = 0
The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.
(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 g t
t = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / g
t ≈ 2.6 s
(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration g. So
0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-g) y
where y in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for y :
y = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2g)
y ≈ 8.4 m

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons is this charge?
Answer:
[tex]q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons[/tex]
Explanation:
Coulomb's Law
The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:
[tex]\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2[/tex]
q1, q2 = the objects' charge
d= The distance between the objects
We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:
[tex]\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}[/tex]
Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:
[tex]\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d[/tex]
Substituting values:
[tex]\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1[/tex]
[tex]q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c[/tex]
This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:
[tex]q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c[/tex]
Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:
[tex]\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}[/tex]

In a warehouse, the workers sometimes slide boxes along the floor to move them. Two boxes were sliding toward each other and crashed. The crash caused both boxes to change speed. Based on the information in the diagram, which statement is correct? In your answer, explain what the forces were like and why the boxes changed speed.
Box 1 has more mass than Box 2.
Box 1 and Box 2 are the same mass.
Box 1 has less mass than Box 2.
**YOU MUST BE DESCRIPTIVE! Any short answers not explaining it wont get brainliest!**
Answer:
box 1 has larger mass than box 2 (which agrees with the first answer option given.
Explanation:
We need to consider the linear momentum of the boxes immediately before and after they crash.
Recall that momentum is defined as mass times velocity.
So for before the collision, the linear momentum of the system of two boxes is:
m1 * 4km/h - m2 * 8km/h
with m1 representing mass "1" on the left, and m2 representing mass 2 on the right.
Notice the sign of the linear momentum (one positive (moving towards the right) and the other one negative (moving towards the left)
For after the collision, we have or the linear momentum of the system:
- m1 * 2km/h - m2 * 1km/h
Then, since the linear momentum is conserved in the collision, we make the initial momentum equal the final and study the mass relationship between m1 and m2:
4 m1 - 8 m2 = - 2 m1 - m2
combining like terms for each mas on one side and another of the equal sign, we get;
4 m1 + 2 m1 = 8 m2 - m2
6 m1 = 7 m2
therefore m1 = (7/6) m2
which (since 7/6 is a number larger than one) tells us that m1 is larger than m2 by a factor of 7/6
Therefore, the first answer option is the correct answer.
Based on the situation above, choose the CORRECT type of error.

From the question we are told that
The period of the satellite is [tex]T_c = 8 \ years[/tex]
Generally the period of earth around the sun is [tex]T_e = 1 \ year[/tex]
Generally from Kepler's third law , which is mathematically represented as
[tex]\frac{T_c ^2}{T_e^2} = \frac{R_c^3}{R_e^3}[/tex]

The rate at which the plate rotates is [tex]w =7.0 \ rev/min[/tex]
Generally the revolution per second is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{7.0}{60}[/tex]
=> [tex]w = 0.1167 \ rev/second[/tex]
It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 12.5 mi long and 6.25 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. What angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth?
Answer:
w = 0.0436 rad/s
Explanation:
Radius of the cylinder is
3.125 * 1609m/mile = 5028 m
Using the angular acceleration formula, we have
a = v²/r = w²r.
Since we're interested in the angular speed, we make w the subject of the formula, so that
w² = a/r
w = √a/r
w = √(9.8/5028)
W = √0.0019049
w = 0.0436 rad/s
Then we can conclude that the angular speed of the rotation is w = 0.0436 rad/s
