Three identical boxcars are coupled together and are moving at a constant speed of 28.0 m/sm/s on a level, frictionless track. They collide with another identical boxcar that is initially at rest and couple to it, so that the four cars roll on as a unit. Friction is small enough to be neglected.

Required:
a. What is the speed of the four cars?
b. What percentage of the kinetic energy of the boxcars is dissipated in the collision?
c. What happened to this energy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) v = 21 m /s

B) 25%

C) ) on collision, this energy in the question appears in the form of the following namely; sound energy, heat energy etc

Explanation:

A) Let m be the mass of any of the cars

Thus:

mass of the three cars = 3m

Formula for kinetic energy = ½mv²

Thus, Kinetic energy of 3 identical and coupled cars = ½ x 3m x 28² = 1176 m

KE = 1176 m

Now mass of 4 coupled cars together = 4m

From conservation of linear momentum, we can find the speed of the four cars. Thus;

m1v1 = m2v2

We are told that the 3 coupled moved together with a speed of 28 m/s

Thus;

4m × v = 3m × 28

v = 3m x 28 / 4m

v = 21 m /s

B) from earlier, we saw the formula for kinetic energy. Thus, kinetic energy with of mass of 4 coupled cars together. Thus;

K = ½ x 4m x 21²

K = 882m

Loss of kinetic energy

ΔK = 1176 m - 882 m

ΔK = 294 m

Therefore, percentage of loss is;

%loss = (294 / 1176 ) x 100

%loss = 25 %

C) on collision, this energy in the question appears in the form of the following namely; sound energy, heat energy etc

79. If the takeoff velocity of an airplane on a runway is 300 km/hr with an acceleration of 2 m/s. What is the takeoff time
of the airplane.


Answers

Answer:

The take off time is equal to 41.66s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of the airplane, u = 0

Acceleration, a = 2 m/s²

Let v is the take off time. Using first equation of motion,

v = u +at

Put v = 300 km/hr = 83.3 m/s

So,

[tex]t=\dfrac{v}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{83.33}{2}\\\\t=41.66\ s[/tex]

So, the take off time is equal to 41.66s.

2 Lights slows down when it enters water from air.
a What happens to its speed?
b What happens to its wavelength?
c What happens to its frequency?​

Answers

Light travels as waves, with the wavefronts perpendicular to the direction of motion. In the animation shown here, the wavefronts are represented by the green parallel lines. The red arrow represents the direction of motion. As light moves from air into water, it not only slows, but the wavelength changes. wavelength becomes shorter in the denser medium of water.


Light will travel in straight line unless it meets any object (medium) in its path. Light changes its speed when it passes from one medium to other and the direction of light changes. This bending of light is called refraction.

This will happen in both when light passes through lighter to denser medium and also while comes from denser medium to lighter medium.

The speed of the light is increases when it comes from denser to less dense medium and decreases when it passes through lighter to denser. Light travels faster in vacuum compared with any other medium.

Refractive index defines the speed of light in a medium.

Refractive index (n)= v1/v2, v1 and v2 are the speed of light in vacuum and medium, respectively.

More the refractive index, slower the speed of light in that medium.

Coming to the wavelength of light, λ=v / f and here the frequency (f) of incident will not change when light passes through different medium.

Wavelength is directly proportional to the speed (v), then the wavelength increases if speed of light increases and vice versa.

The wavelength of light decreases when it goes from air to water because the speed of light decreases.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step is 16.6 cm tall. It takes 5 minutes and 30 seconds for a person with a mass of 73.5 kg to walk all the way up. How much work did the person do?

Answers

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35  J

or

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.

A body of mass 2.0 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its original speed.
(a) What is the mass of the other body?
(b) What is the speed of the two-body center of mass if the initial speed of the 2.0 kg body was 4.0 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

(a) the mass of the second body is 1.2 kg

(b)  the speed of the two-body center of mass 2.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the body, m₁ = 2 kg

let the mass of the second body = m₂

let the initial speed of the first body, = u₁ = 4 m/s

then, the final speed of the first body, v₁= ¹/₄u₁ = 0.25u₁

initial speed of the second body, u₂ = 0

let the final speed of the second body = v₂

Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the mass of the second body;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

2u₁  +  0(m₂)  =  2(0.25u₁)  +  m₂v₂

2u₁   =  0.5u₁  +  m₂v₂

1.5(4) = m₂v₂

6 = m₂v₂

Apply one-directional velocity

u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂

u₁ + (0.25u₁) = 0 + v₂

1.25u₁ = v₂

1.25(4) = v₂

5 = v₂

Then, the mass of the second body is calculated as;

m₂v₂ = 6

5m₂ = 6

m₂ = 6/5

m₂ = 1.2 kg

(b)  the speed of the two-body center of mass after collision;

[tex]V_c_m = \frac{m_1v_1 + m_2v_2}{m_1 + m_2} \\\\V_c_m = \frac{2(0.25\times 4) \ + \ 1.2(5)}{2\ + \ 1.2} \\\\V_c_m = 2. 5 \ m/s[/tex]

A circle has a radius of 20 cm and a central angle that measures 216° find the length of the arc defined by the central angle

Answers

Answer:

4320cm

Explanation:

(length of the arc)/(length of the radius)=central angle

lengthof the arc/20=216

lengthof the arc=216×20

length of the arc=4320cm

hope this helps, let me know if I'm right!

The length measured along the arc is called length of the arc. The length of the arc defined by the central angle is 4320cm.

What is central angle?

Central angle is the angle subtended by the arc at the center of circle.

central angle = length of the arc / length of the radius

216 = length of the arc/20

length of the arc = 216×20

length of the arc = 4320cm

Thus, the length of the arc defined by the central angle is 4320cm.

The launching catapult of the aircraft carrier gives the jet fighter a constant acceleration of 59 m/s2 from rest relative to the flight deck and launches the aircraft in a distance of 97 m measured along the angled takeoff ramp. If the carrier is moving at a steady 26 knots (1 knot = 1.852 km/h), determine the magnitude v of the actual velocity of the fighter when it is launched.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find the final velocity of  aircraft with respect to aircraft carrier using the following relation.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 59 x 97

v² = 11446

v = 107 m /s

velocity of aircraft carrier = 1.852 x 26 = 48.152 km/h

= 48.152 x 1000 / (60 x 60) m/s

= 13.37 m /s

This velocity of aircraft carrier will be added to the velocity of aircraft .

So absolute velocity of aircraft = 107 m /s + 13.37 m/s

= 120.37 m/s

Radiation exerts pressure on surfaces on which it lalls (radintion pressure). Will this pressure be greater on a shiny surface or a dark surface

Answers

Answer:

Shiny surface.

Explanation:

We know that radiation pressure is the pressure over a surface exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

Where if the radiation is absorbed by the material (like in the case of a dark surface), the pressure is the energy density flux divided by the speed of light, while if the radiation is totally reflected (idealized case, but we can suppose that this happens for a shiny surface) the pressure is twice pressure for the absorbed case.

This is a simplification for the radiation pressure but is enough to conclude that the radiation pressure is always greater on reflective surfaces, then for this case, the pressure will be greater on a shiny surface than in a dark surface,

You send a traveling wave along a particular string by oscillating one end. If you increase the frequency of oscillations, does the speed of the wave increase, decrease, or remain the same?

Answers

Answer:

The speed of the wave remains the same

Explanation:

Since the speed of the wave v = √(T/μ) where T is the tension in the string and μ is the linear density of the string.

We observed that the speed, v is independent of the frequency of the  wave in the string. So, increasing the frequency of the wave has no effect on the speed of the wave in the string, since the speed of the wave in the string is only dependent on the properties of the string.

So, If you increase the frequency of oscillations, the speed of the wave remains the same.

A photon with a frequency of 5.02 × 1014 hertz is absorbed by an excited hydrogen atom. This causes the electron to be ejected from the atom, forming an ion. Calculate the energy of this photon in joules. [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.] Determine the energy of this photon in electron-volts. What is the number of the lowest energy level (closest to the ground state) of a hydrogen atom that contains an electron that would be ejected by the absorption of this photon?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom emits a photon (particle of light) when transitioning from a ground state to its excited state. To obey conservation of energy, the energy gained by the atom when an electron moves to a lower energy level is equal to the energy it loses in emitting the photon. (The energy of a photon is E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon.) Conversely, when an atom absorbs a photon (as is the case in absorption spectra), the electron absorbing the photon moves to a higher energy level.

The tires of a car make 60 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 95.0 km/h to 60.0 km/h. The tires have a diameter of 0.88 m. If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, how far does it go

Answers

Answer:

-2.869 rad/s2

Explanation:

Data given:

speed, vi at 95.0 km/h = 95 X (1 hour /3600 seconds) X (1000m / 1km)

Note that, for every 1 hour, there will be 60sec X 60sec = 3600 seconds

And for every 1km, there will be 1000m.

So, speed of 95.0 km/h = 26.389 m/s

speed, vi  =  r ω (radius X angular velocity)

 angular velocity, ωi = v/r

ωi = 26.389  m/s ÷ half of 0.88 m diameter

= 59.975 rad/s

decelerating to speed, vf at 60.0 km/h = 60 X X (1 hour /3600 seconds) X (1000m / 1km)

= 16.667m/s

The angular velocity for this speed = 16.667m/s ÷ half of 0.88 m diameter

 = 37.879rad/s

 How far the car goes is equivalent to the angular acceleration which equals to (ωf^2 - ωi^2) ÷ 2θ

= (37.879rad/s)^2 - (59.975 rad/s)^2 ÷ 2 (60 rev X 2π rad/rev)

= -2.869 rad/s2

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.10 m/s.
1. What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
2. How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take the putty to reach the ceiling? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the putty initial speed (u) = 9.10 m/s

distance (s) between hand and the ceiling = 3.50 m

the speed of the putty prior to the time it hits the ceiling can be determined by considering the second equation of motion.

v² - u² = 2as

Since the putty is moving in a vertical motion(i.e. in an upward direction)

v² - u² = -2gs

v² = u² - 2gs

[tex]v = \sqrt{u^2 - 2gs}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{(9.10)^2 -( 2* 9.8) (3.50 -0)}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{82.81 -19.6 (3.50)}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{82.81 -68.6}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{14.21}[/tex]

v = 3.77 m/s

2.

The time it takes to reach the ceiling from the moment it leaves your hand can be calculated by using the first equation of motion:

v = u + at

In an upward direction

v = u - gt

making time t the subject;

v - u = -gt

[tex]t = \dfrac{v-u}{-g}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{3.77 - 9.10}{-9.8}[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{-5.33}{-9.8}[/tex]

t = 0.54s
