a wooden block is cut into two pieces, one with three times the mass of the other. a depression is made in both faces of the cut so that a fire cracker can be placed in it and the block is reassembled. the reassembled block is set on rough surface and the fuse is lit. when the fire cracker explodes, the two blocks separate. what is the ratio of distances traveled by blocks?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

Let A denote the bigger piece and let B denote the smaller piece.

We are told that one with three times the mass of the other.

Therefore, we have;

M_a = 3M_b

Firecracker is placed in the block and it explodes and thus, momentum is conserved.

Thus;

V_ai = V_bi = 0

Where V_ai is initial velocity of piece A and V_bi is initial velocity of piece B.

Since initial momentum equals final momentum, we have;

P_i = P_f

Thus;

0 = (M_a × V_af) + (M_b × V_bf)

Since M_a = 3M_b, we have;

(3M_b × V_af) + (M_b × Vbf) = 0

Making V_af the subject, we have;

V_af = -⅓V_bf

The kinetic energy gained by each block during the explosion will later be lost due to the negative work done by friction. Thus;

W_f = -½M_b•(v_bf)²

Now, let's express the work is in terms of the force and the distance.

Thus;

W_f = F_f × Δx × cos 180°

Frictional force is also expressed as μmg

Thus;

W_f = -μM_b × g × Δx

Earlier, we saw that;

W_f = -½M_b•(v_bf)²

Thus;

-½M_b•(v_bf)²= -μM_b × g × Δx

Δx = (v_bf)²/2μg

Let the distance travelled by block A be Δx_a and that travelled by B be Δx_b

Thus;

Δx_a/Δx_b = ((v_ba)²/2μg)/((v_bf)²/2μg)

Δx_a/Δx_b = ((v_af)²/((v_bf)²)

Δx_a/Δx_b = (-⅓V_bf)²/(V_bf)²

Δx_a/Δx_b = 1/9

An RC car is carrying a tiny slingshot with a spring constant of 85 N/m at 0.2 m off the ground at 5.6 m/s. The sling shot is pulled back 3.5 cm from a relaxed state and shoots a 25 g steel pellet in the same direction the car is moving. What is the velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground as it leaves the sling shot

Answers

Answer:

The velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is approximately 5.960 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that RC car-slingshot-steelpellet is a conservative system, that is, that non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) can be neglected. The velocity of the steel pellet can be found by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and under the consideration that change in gravitational potential energy is negligible and that the RC car travels at constant velocity:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{C}+m_{P})\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{C}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]m_{P}\cdot v_{o}^{2} + k\cdot x^{2} = m_{P}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]

[tex]v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + \frac{k}{m_{P}}\cdot x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+\frac{k}{m_{P}}\cdot x^{2} }[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Initial velocity of the steel pellet, measured in meters per second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Final velocity of the steel pellet, measured in meters per second.

[tex]k[/tex] - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

[tex]m_{P}[/tex] - Mass of the steel pellet, measured in kilograms.

[tex]m_{C}[/tex] - Mass of the RC car, measured in kilograms.

[tex]x[/tex] - Initial deformation of the spring, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]v_{o} = 5.6\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]k = 85\,\frac{N}{m}[/tex], [tex]m_{P} = 0.025\,kg[/tex] and [tex]x = 0.035\,m[/tex], then the velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is:

[tex]v = \sqrt{\left(5.6\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\frac{\left(85\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.035\,m)^{2}}{0.025\,kg} }[/tex]

[tex]v \approx 5.960\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The velocity of the steel pellet relative to the ground when it leaves the sling shot is approximately 5.960 meters per second.

Does changing the height of point C affect the speed of the coaster car at point D?​

Answers

Without friction, NO.

The speed at D depends only on the difference in height between A and D. Whatever happens between them doesn't matter.

The speed of the coaster car at point D will be affected if  the height of point C is changed.

Potencial Energy:

It is the enrgy in a body due to the position of differnt part of the object or system.

As we increase the the hight of the car the potetial enrgy increase, the gravitational acceleration on car will be more due to the high of the point C.

Car À moves at a speed of 8m/s for 43 seconds. Car B moves at a speed of 7 m/s for 50 seconds. Which car traveled a longer distance

Please show working

Answers

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Car A: Distance = (8 m/s) x (43 s)  =  344 meters

Car B: Distance = (7 m/s) x (50 s)  =  350 meters

350 meters is a longer distance than 344 meters.

Car-B traveled a longer distance than Car-A did.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf Car \ B : 350 \ meters }}[/tex]

Explanation:

Distance is equal to the product of speed and time.

[tex]d=s*t[/tex]

1. Car A

Car A has a speed of 8 meters per second and travels for 43 seconds.

[tex]s= 8 \ m/s \\t= 43 \ s[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]d= 8 \ m/s *43 \ s[/tex]

Multiply and note that the seconds will cancel out.

[tex]d= 8 \ m*43= 344 \ m[/tex]

2. Car B

Car B has a speed of 7 meters per second and travels for 50 seconds.

[tex]s= 7 \ m/s \\t= 50 \ s[/tex]

Substitute the values in and multiply.

[tex]d= 7 \ m/s * 50 \ s[/tex]

[tex]d= 7 \ m * 50 = 350 \ m[/tex]

350 meters is a longer distance than 344 meters, so Car B traveled the longer distance.

Answers

Answer:

A. 72000 C

B. 1100 W

C. 26.4 cents.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Current (I) = 10 A

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Time (t) = 2 h

A. Determination of the charge.

We'll begin by converting 2 h to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore,

2 h = 2 h × 3600 s / 1 h

2 h = 7200 s

Thus, 2 h is equivalent to 7200 s.

Finally, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:

Current (I) = 10 A

Time (t) = 7200 s

Charge (Q) =?

Q = It

Q = 10 × 7200

Q = 72000 C

B. Determination of the power.

Current (I) = 10 A

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Power (P) =?

P = IV

P = 10 × 110

P = 1100 W

C. Determination of the cost of operation.

We'll begin by converting 1100 W to KW. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 W = 1 KW

Therefore,

1100 W = 1100 W × 1 KW / 1000 W

1100 W = 1.1 KW

Thus, 1100 W is equivalent to 1.1 KW

Next, we shall determine the energy consumption of the range. This can be obtained as follow:

Power (P) = 1.1 KW

Time (t) = 2 h

Energy (E) =?

E = Pt

E = 1.1 × 2

E = 2.2 KWh

Finally, we shall determine the cost of operation. This can be obtained as follow:

1 KWh cost 12 cents.

Therefore, 2.2 KWh will cost = 2.2 × 12

= 26.4 cents.

Thus, the cost of operating the range for 2 h is 26.4 cents.

A car enters a 105-m radius flat curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.4. What is
the maximum speed which the car can travel around the curve without sliding

Answers

Static friction (magnitude Fs) keeps the car on the road, and is the only force acting on it parallel to the road. By Newton's second law,

Fs = m a = W a / g

(a = centripetal acceleration, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity)

We have

a = v ² / R

(v = tangential speed, R = radius of the curve)

so that

Fs = W v ² / (g R)

Solving for v gives

v = √(Fs g R / W)

Perpendicular to the road, the car is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law gives

N - W = 0

(N = normal force, W = weight)

so that

N = W

We're given a coefficient of static friction µ = 0.4, so

Fs = µ N = 0.4 W

Substitute this into the equation for v. The factors of W cancel, so we get

v = √((0.4 W) g R / W) = √(0.4 g R) = √(0.4 (9.80 m/s²) (105 m)) ≈ 20.3 m/s

Consider a swimmer that swims a complete round-trip lap of a 50 m long pool in 100 seconds.

Answers

Answer:

average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of round trip = 50 m

Time taken = 100 seconds

The average speed :

Total distance / total time taken

Length of complete round trip :

(50 + 50) m, total. Distance = 100 m

100 / 100 = 1m/s

The average velocity :

Total Displacement / total time taken

Total Displacement of round trip = end point - start point = 0

0 / 100 = 0

Average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s.

The average speed is defined as the ratio of distance to time. Speed is a scalar quantity hence it does not take direction into account while velocity is a vector quantity hence it takes direction into account.

The speed is obtained from;

Speed = Distance/time = 2(50 m)/100 s = 1 m/s.

The velocity is 0 m/s since it is complete round-trip lap.
