A 732 kg car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1720 kg truck moving with a speed of 15.5m/s. If the car was in neutr

al and its breaks were off, so the collisions are approximately elastic, find the final speed of both vehicles after the collisions.

Answer:

Truck= 6.25 m/s

Car= 21.7 m/s

Explanation:

For elastic collision, the truck's final velocity is given by

{v_1} = \frac{{\left( {{m_1} - {m_2}} \right)}}{{\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)}}{u_1}

The car's final velocity is given by

{v_2} = \frac{{2{m_1}}}{{\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)}}{u_1}

Where m and u denote masses and velocity respectively, subscripts 1 and 2 denote truck and car respectively.

Substituting 1720 Kg for mass of truck, 732 for mass of car and initial velocity as 15.5 m/s

v_1=\frac{1720-732}{1720+732}\times 15.5=6.25 m/s

v_2=\frac {2\times 1720}{1720+732}\times 15.5=21.7 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of truck is 6.25 m/s while the car's final velocity is 21.7 m/s

In very cold weather, a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into t
Pie

Answer:

A) Q_a=74256\ J

B) Q=93562560\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of air, T_a=-19+273=254\ K
  • temperature of lungs, T_l=37+273=310\ K
  • specific Heat exchanged from the lungs , c_l=0.47\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • specific heat of air, c_a=1020\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • mass of 1 L air, m'=1.3\ kg
  • breath rate, b=21\ breath.min^{-1}

A)

Now,

amount of heat needed to warm the air of lungs to the body temperature:

Q_a=m'.c_a.\Delta T

Q_a=1.3\times1020\times (310-254)

Q_a=74256\ J

B)

Amount of heat lost per hour:

<u>No. of breaths per hour:</u>

B=b.60

B=21\times 60

B=1260

<u>Now the total loss of energy in 1 hr.:</u>

Q=Q_a.B

Q=74256\times 1260

Q=93562560\ J

If the force of gravity between a book of mass 0.50 kg and a calculator of 0.100 kg is 1.5 × 10-10 N, how far apart are they?  (
valkas [14]
The gravitational force between two masses m₁ and m₂ is
F=G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{d^{2}}
where
G = 6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²), the gravitational constant
d =  distance between the masses.

Given:
F = 1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
m₁ = 0.50 kg
m₂ = 0.1 kg

Therefore
1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ N = (6.67408 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))*[(0.5*0.1)/(d m)²]
d² = [(6.67408x10⁻¹¹)*(0.5*0.1)]/1.5x10⁻¹⁰
     = 0.0222
d = 0.1492 m = 149.2 mm

Answer: 149.2 mm

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}, where h is the Planck's constant,  m is the mass and v is the velocity.

h = 6.63*10^{-34}

Mass of hydrogen atom,  m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

   Wavelength \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m

1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm

So  the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm
