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

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s? The dia
ycow [4]
The mass of the puck is
m = 0.15 kg.
The diameter of the puck is 0.076 m, therefore its radius  is
r = 0.076/2 = 0.038 m
The sliding speed is
v = 0.5 m/s
The angular velocity is
ω = 8.4 rad/s

The rotational moment of inertia of the puck is
I = (mr²)/2
  = 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.038 m)²
  = 1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²

The kinetic energy of the puck is the sum of the translational and rotational kinetic energy.
The translational KE is
KE₁ = (1/2)*m*v²
       = 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.5 m/s)²
       = 0.0187 j

The rotational KE is
KE₂ = (1/2)*I*ω²
       = 0.5*(1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²)*(8.4 rad/s)²
       = 0.0038 J

The total KE is
KE = 0.0187 + 0.0038 = 0.0226 J

Answer: 0.0226 J

If the gas in a container absorbs 275 Joules of heat, has 125 Joules of work done on it, then does 50 Joules of work, what is th
cluponka [151]

Answer:

    The increase in the internal energy = 350 J

Explanation:

Given that

Q= 275  J

W= - 125 J

W' = 50 J

W(net)= -125  + 50 = -75 J

Sign -

1.Heat rejected by system - negative

2.Heat gain by system - Positive

3.Work done by system = Positive

4.Work done on the system-Negative

Lets take change in the  internal energy =ΔU

We know that

Q= ΔU + W(net)

275 = ΔU -75

ΔU= 275 + 75 J

ΔU=350 J

The increase in the internal energy = 350 J

Who pays for Government workers that work on alcohol impaired driving cases?
Shalnov [3]

Answer: Taxpayers

Explanation:

Taking alcohol before driving or while driving is dangerous and has resulted in lots of accidents and deaths. Alcohol tampers with the normal functioning of the brain, and also impairs ones reasoning.

Alcohol impaired driving cases handled by government officials are paid for by the taxpayers. A tax is the levy that the people in the country pays. Those funds are used in handling different government objectives and this is one of such ways.

B. A hydraulic jack has a ram of 20 cm diameter and a plunger of 3 cm diameter. It is used for lifting a weight of 3 tons. Find
lozanna [386]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the Pascal's law

F / A = f / a

Where, F is the force on ram, A be the area of ram, f be the force on plunger and a be the area of plunger.

Diameter of ram, D = 20 cm, R = 20 / 2 = 10 cm

A = π R^2 = π x 100 cm^2

F = 3 tons = 3000 kgf

diameter of plunger, d = 3 cm, r = 1.5 cm

a = π x 2.25 cm^2

Use Pascal's law

3000 / π x 100 = f / π x 2.25

f = 67.5 Kgf
