Aaron Agin nodded off while driving home from play practice this past Sunday evening. His 1500-kg car hit a series of guardrails

while moving at 19.8 m/s. The first guard rail delivered a resistive impulse of 5700 N•s. The second guard rail pushed against his car with a force of 79000 N for 0.12 seconds. The third guard rail collision lowered the car's velocity by 3.2 m/s. Determine the final velocity of the car.

Answer: 6.48m/s

Explanation:

First, we know that Impulse = change in momentum

Initial velocity, u = 19.8m/s

Let,

Velocity after first collision = x m/s

Velocity after second collision = y m/s

Also, we know that

Impulse = m(v - u). But then, the question said, the guard rail delivered a "resistive" impulse. Thus, our impulse would be m(u - v).

5700 = 1500(19.8 - x)

5700 = 29700 - 1500x

1500x = 29700 - 5700

1500x = 24000

x = 24000/1500

x = 16m/s

Also, at the second guard rail. impulse = ft, so that

Impulse = 79000 * 0.12

Impulse = 9480

This makes us have

Impulse = m(x - y)

9480 = 1500(16 -y)

9480 = 24000 - 1500y

1500y = 24000 - 9480

1500y = 14520

y = 14520 / 1500

y = 9.68

Then, the velocity decreases by 3.2, so that the final velocity of the car is

9.68 - 3.2 = 6.48m/s

A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?
choli [55]
This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters

Light with a wavelength of 495 nm is falling on a surface and electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.5 eV are ejected. Wha
devlian [24]

Answer:

To increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the work function of the element. The maximum kinetic energy as a function of the wavelength is given by:

K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-W

Here h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength of the light and W the work function of the element:

W=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-K_{max}\\W=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{495*10^{-9}m}-0.5eV\\W=2.01eV

Now, we calculate the wavelength for the new maximum kinetic energy:

W+K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{W+K_{max}}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{2.01eV+1.5eV}\\\lambda=3.54*10^{-7}m=354*10^{-9}m=354nm

This wavelength corresponds to ultraviolet radiation. So, to increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Stels [109]

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.
