Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a

nd Jackson’s is 54.0 kg. Jackson is running at a velocity of 3.0 m/s. What must Tammy’s minimum velocity be in order to stop forward momentum?

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0

v = -4.76 m/s

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

4.325\times10^6J

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of \theta=17^o

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = 260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = \frac{1}{2} mv^2). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = 5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

A shift in one fringe in the Michelson-Morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

When Michelson-Morley apparatus is turned through 90^{o} then position of two mirrors will be changed. The resultant path difference will be as follows.

      \frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}} - (-\frac{lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}) = \frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}

Formula for change in fringe shift is as follows.

          n = \frac{2lv^{2}}{\lambda c^{2}}

       v^{2} = \frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}

             v = \sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}

According to the given data change in fringe is n = 1. The data is Michelson and Morley experiment is as follows.

             l = 11 m

    \lambda = 5.9 \times 10^{-7} m

           c = 3.0 \times 10^{8} m/s

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            v = \sqrt{\frac{n \lambda c^{2}}{2l}}

               = \sqrt{\frac{1 \times (5.9 \times 10^{-7} m) \times (3.0 \times 10^{8})^{2}}{2 \times 11 m}}

               = 2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s

Thus, we can conclude that velocity deduced is 2.41363 \times 10^{9} m/s.

A 5.0-kg crate is resting on a horizontal plank. The coefficient of static friction is 0.50 and the coefficient of kinetic frict
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The mass of the crate is 5kg.

We know that the force of friction can be obtained by:

F = N*k

where k is the coefficient of friction, where we use the static one if the object is at rest, and the kinetic one if the object os moving. N is the normal force

If we tilt the base making an angle of 30° with the horizontal, now the normal force against the plank will be equal to the fraction of the weight in the direction normal to the surface of the plank.

Knowing that the angle is 30°, then the fraction of the weight that pushes against the normal is Cos(30°)*W = cos(30°)*5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 42.4N

The fraction of the force in the parallel direction to the plank (the force that would accelerate the crate downwards) is:

F = sin(30°)*5k*9,8m/s = 24.5N

now, the statical friction force is:

Fs = 42.4N*0.5 = 21.2N

The statical force is less than the 24.5N, so the crate will move downwards, then the force that acts on the crate is the kinetic force of friction:

Fk = 42.4N*0.4 = 16.96N

Then, the total force that acts on the crate is:

total force = F - Fk = 24.5N - 16.69N = 7.54N and the direction of this force points downside along the parallel direction of the plank.
