A 2 kg blue car is moving 6 m/s to the right and collides with a 3 kg red car that is moving 2 m/s to the left. The cars collide and stick together. What is their velocity after the collision? Include units on your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air friction), what will the velocity of the packet be when it reaches the ground?

Answers

Answer: 121.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here we will use the conservation of energy.

We can write the total energy of an object as:

E = K + U

For this particular case we have:

K = kinetic energy = (m/2)*v^2

U = potential energy = m*g*h

where:

m = mass of the object.

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

h = height at which the object is dropped, in this case 750m

v = velocity of the object.

Right when the packet is dropped, it's velocity is equal to zero, this means that there is no kinetic energy and only potential energy, then we have:

Ei = Ui = m*9.8m/s^2*750m = m*(7350m^2/s^2)

And when the object is about to hit the ground, h will be almost equal to zero, this will mean that we will have only kinetic energy, and because of the conservation of energy, this final energy must be the same as the initial energy, then we will have

Ei = Ef

m*(7350m^2/s^2) = Ef = Kf

m*(7350m^2/s^2) = (m/2)*v^2

We can divide by m in both sides to get:

(7350m^2/s^2) = (1/2)*v^2

√( 2*(7350m^2/s^2)) = v = 121.2 m/s

Then the velocity of the packet when it reaches the ground is 121.2 m/s

A 10 N force and an 18 N force act in the same direction on an object. What is the net force on the object?

Answers

Answer:

28 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that 10 N force and 18 N force act in the same direction on the object.

The net force acting on the object can be obtained by simply adding both forces together since they both act on the object in the same direction. This is illustrated below:

Force 1 (F₁) = 10 N

Force 2 (F₂) = 18 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂ (since they both act in the same direction)

Fₙ = 10 + 18

Fₙ = 28 N

Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 28 N.

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must the student be pushed, starting from rest, so that her final kinetic energy is 362 J

Answers

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m

An object is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 8 m/s, and reaches a greatest height of 15 m before it falls back to the ground. a. What height is the object thrown from? b. How long does it take for the object to hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

The value is [tex]T_t = 2.5659 \ s[/tex]    

Explanation:

From the we are told that  

         The initial speed of the object is  [tex]u = 8 \ m/s[/tex]

         The greatest height it reached is  [tex]h = 15 \ m[/tex]

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      [tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2gH[/tex]

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

So

      [tex]0^2 = 8^2 + 2 * - 9.8 * H[/tex]

=>    [tex]H = 3.27 \ m[/tex]

Here H is the height from the initial height to the maximum height

So the initial height is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]s = h - H[/tex]

=>    [tex]s = 15 - 3.27[/tex]

=>    [tex]s = 11.73 \ m[/tex]

Generally the time taken for the object to reach maximum height is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as follows

            [tex]v = u + (-g) t[/tex]

At maximum height v  =  0 m/s

           [tex]0 = 8 - 9.8t[/tex]

=>         [tex]t = 0.8163 \ s[/tex]

Generally the time taken for the object to move from the maximum height to the ground is mathematically using kinematic equation as follows

       [tex]h = ut_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2[/tex]

Here the initial velocity is  0 m/s given that its the velocity at maximum height

Also  g is positive because we are moving in the direction of gravity  

So

       [tex]15 = 0* t + 4.9 t^2[/tex]

=>      [tex]t_1 = 1.7496[/tex]

Generally the total time taken is mathematically represented as

          [tex]T_t = t + t_1[/tex]

=>        [tex]T_t = 0.8163 + 1.7496[/tex]

=>        [tex]T_t = 2.5659 \ s[/tex]

A baseball on the Moon and an identical baseball on the Earth are thrown vertically upward with the same initial velocity of 12 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1/6 that of Earth. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon? What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth? What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

Answers

Answer:

a. 3.68 m b. 0.61 m c. 3.07 m

Explanation:

a. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the moon?

Using v² = u² - 2g'h where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height), g' = acceleration due to gravity on moon = g/6 where g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s², so g' = 9.8 m/s²/6 = 1.63 m/s² and h = maximum height of ball on moon.

So, making h subject of the formula, we have

h = -(v² - u²)/2g'

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(1.63 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(1.63 m/s²)

= 3.68 m

b. What is the maximum height the ball reaches on the earth?

Using the same equation for the maximum height the baseball travels on the moon for that on the earth, the maximum height h' the baseball travels on the earth is given by  

h' = -(v² - u²)/2g where u = initial velocity of baseball = 12 m/s, v =  final velocity of baseball = 0 m/s (since it stops at maximum height),  g = acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²and h' = maximum height of ball on moon.

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = -((0 m/s)² - (12 m/s)²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

=  -(- 12 m²/s²)/2(9.8 m/s²)

= 6 m²/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

= 0.61 m

c. What is the difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth?

The difference in the maximum height the ball reaches on the Moon compared to on Earth is d = h - h' = 3.68 m - 0.61 m = 3.07 m

Answers

Answer:

The Earth's rotation which produces Coriolis force is the responsing factor for the formation and movement of different global winds.

The cause of the global winds is due to the rotation of the earth that produces the Coriolis force factor for the formation and movement of global winds.

What are global wind patterns?

The global wind pattern is formed by the movement of the earth and they are polar easterlies, prevailing westerlies and the trade winds.

Each of them occurs at about 30 degrees of latitude. Hence they form wind belts. The Coriolis effect that is created due to the rotation of the earth is a fact that leads to the movement of global winds.

water starts to freeze from top whereas wax starts to freeze from bottom?why?​

Answers

Answer:

im pretty sure its because wax has i higher melting point therefore it would cool quicker if the temperature dropped more. water has a lower melting point so it takes longer to freeze i think. i hope this helps

Water and wax freeze from different directions due to the unique properties and behaviors of these substances.

Water:

When water freezes, it undergoes a phase transition from a liquid to a solid state.

Unlike most substances, water exhibits an unusual property known as the "anomalous expansion of water" or "density anomaly." This anomaly is caused by the hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

As the water cools down, its molecules begin to slow down and move closer together. This causes the density of the water to increase. However, as the water reaches around 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees Fahrenheit), it starts to behave differently.

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules become more organized and stable, causing the water to expand and become less dense.

Wax:

Wax, on the other hand, does not exhibit the same density anomaly as water. When wax undergoes solidification, it follows a different pattern due to its molecular structure and the way its particles arrange themselves.

Wax typically consists of long, nonpolar hydrocarbon chains. As it cools, the wax molecules start to lose kinetic energy, slowing down their movement.

The intermolecular forces between the wax molecules become stronger, causing them to come closer together.

In summary, water freezes from the top due to its density anomaly, with the less dense, expanded water rising and forming a layer of ice on the surface.

Wax, however, freezes from the bottom as its molecules arrange and bond together, gradually solidifying upwards. These differences in freezing behavior are influenced by the distinct properties and molecular structures of water and wax.
