Carts A and B are identical and are moving toward each other on a track. The speed of cart A is v, while the speed of cart B is

2v. In the Earth reference frame, the system of the two carts has kinetic energy K.

Answer: k= $\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}$

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for kinetic energy is given below as

k = $\frac{mv^{2} }{2}$

where k=kinetic energy (joules), m= mass of object (kg), v= velocity of object m/s)

For cart A

$m_{a}$ = mass of cart A

$v_{a}$ = v = velocity of cart A

$K.E_{a}$ = kinetic energy of cart A

hence, $K.E_{a}$ = $\frac{m_{a}v^{2} }{2}$

For cart B

$m_{b}$ = mass of cart B

$v_{b}$ = 2v = velocity of cart B

$K.E_{b}$ = kinetic energy of cart B

hence, $K.E_{b}$ = $\frac{m_{b}(2v^{2}) }{2}$ = 2 $m_{b} v^{2}$

from the question, both cart are identical which implies they have the same mass i.e $m_{a}$ = $m_{b}$ = m which implies that

$K.E_{a}= \frac{mv^{2} }{2}$ and $K.E_{b} =2mv^{2}$

The total kinetic energy K is the sum of cart A and cart B kinetic energy

$K=K.E_{a} + K.E_{b}$

$K=\frac{mv^{2} }{2} + 2mv^{2}$

hence

$K=\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}$

A 25N force is applied to a bar that can pivot around its end. The force is r=0.75 m away from the end of an angle at 0= 30. wha

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

<h2>9.375Nm</h2>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating torque τ = Frsin∅ where;

F = applied force (in newton)

r = radius (in metres)

∅ = angle that the force made with the bar.

Given F= 25N, r = 0.75m and ∅ = 30°

torque on the bar τ = 25*0.75*sin30°

τ = 25*0.75*0.5

τ = 9.375Nm

The torque on the bar is 9.375Nm

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice

Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of $\sqrt{3} v_{e}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , $v_{i}=2 v_{e}$ . Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0$

$\frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}$

$v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$

$v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as, $U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}$

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so $v_{f}=0$

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

$k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

$k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

Here, $v_{f}=\text { final velocity }$

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

$U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0$

$\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}$

'm' and $\frac{1}{2}$ as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}$

We know, $v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}$ , it can be wriiten as $\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}$ , we get

$4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}$

$v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}$

Taking squares out, we get,

$v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}$

masya89 [10]

When using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a charge, which part of the hand points in the direction that the charge is moving? The answer is <span>thumb.

</span>One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, represented accordingly by the thumb. There are many field lines, represented accordingly by the fingers. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge. Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, a pure magnetic field will not accelerate a charged particle in a single direction, however will produce circular or helical motion (a concept explored in more detail in future sections). It is important to note that magnetic field will not exert a force on a static electric charge. These two observations are in keeping with the rule that <span>magnetic fields do no </span>work<span>.</span>

Trained dolphins are capable of a vertical leap of 7.0 m straight up from the surface of the water - an impressive feat. Suppose

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:14 m

Explanation:

Given

Vertical jump make by the dolphin is given by $h=7\ m$

Suppose the dolphin jump with an initial velocity of $u$

so u is given by $u^2=2\cdot g\cdot h$

If dolphin launches at an angle $\theta$ then maximum horizontal range is given by

assuming the of Dolphin to be Projectile so range is given by

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

substitute the value of $u^2$

$R=\frac{2\times 9.8\times 7\sin 2\theta }{9.8}$

$R=2h\sin 2\theta$

Range will be maximum for $\theta =45^{\circ}$

thus $R_{max}=2\times 7\times 1=14\ m$
