The heaviest wild lion ever measured had a mass of 313 kg. Suppose this lion is walking by a lake when it sees an empty boat flo

ating at rest near the shore. The curious lion jumps into the boat with a speed of 6.00 m/s, causing the boat with the lion in it to move away from the shore with a speed of 2.50 m/s. How much kinetic energy is dissipated in this inelastic collision?

Answer:

The kinetic energy dissipated is 3286.5 J

Explanation:

K.E before collision = 1/2m1v1^2 = 1/2×313×6^2 = 5634 J

K.E after collision = 1/2(m1+m2)v2^2

From the law of conservation of momentum:

m1+m2 = m1v1/v2 = 313×6/2.5 = 751.2 kg

K.E after collision = 1/2×751.2×2.5^2 = 2347.5 J

K.E dissipated = 5634 J - 2347.5 J = 3286.5 J

The average mass of an automobile in the United States is about 1.440x10^6 g express this mass in kilograms

-BARSIC- [3]

From the problem statement, this is a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from units of grams to units of kilograms. To do this, we need a conversion factor which would relate the different units involved. We either multiply or divide this certain value to the original measurement depending on what is asked. From literature, we will find that 1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram. We use this as follows:

<span> 1.440x10^6 g ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) = 1440 kg</span><span>

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound

NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

$f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}$

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

$f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz$

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

A student states that 203.9 g of table sugar will form a saturated solution in 100 g of water.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The temperature and the solubility of sugar at that temperature

Explanation:

The amount of substance which can be dissolved in the solvent depends on the temperature.

As the temperature increases, more substance can be dissolved.

A solution is saturated if any more of the solute cannot be dissolved in the solution at the given temperature

Hence we need to know the temperature and also the amount of substance which can be dissolved(solubility) at the same temperature

a) the statement given in option A is correct

b) molar mass has no correlation with the substance's solubility and hence option b is not correct

c) The percent by volume of the solution is not needed to find if the solution is saturated and hence option c is not correct

Angular and Linear Quantities: A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an a

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

$\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow$ The angular speed

$\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow$ The angular acceleration

$r = 4.65 m \rightarrow$ The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

$v = r\omega$

Where,

r = Radius

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}$

$a_c = r \omega^2$

$a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2$

$a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2$

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a_t = \alpha r$

Here,

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

r = Radius

$\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)$

$\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2$

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

$|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

$|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}$

$|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.
