15) A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the +x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13 m/s in the same direction. If

the second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car

M1= 328kg

The car is moving in positive direction of x axis with velocity

U1 = 19.1m/s

Velocity of second car

U2 = 13m/s, in the same direction as the first car..

Mass of second car

M2 = 790kg

Velocity of second car after collision

V2 = 15.1 m/s

Velocity of first car after collision

V1 =?

This is an elastic collision,

And using the conservation of momentum principle

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = P(after)

M1•U1 + M2•U2 = M1•V1 + M2•V2

328 × 19.1 + 790 × 13 = 328 × V1 + 790 × 15.1

16534.8 = 328•V1 + 11929

328•V1 = 16534.8—11929

328•V1 = 4605.8

V1 = 4605.8/328

V1 = 14.04 m/s

The velocity of the first car after collision is 14.04 m/s

A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

= 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = $\frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}$

= $\frac{0.779}{6}$

= 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130

A Styrofoam slab has thickness h and density ρs. When a swimmer of mass m is resting on it, the slab floats in fresh water with

sattari [20]

<span>A = area of styrofoam
M = mass of stryofoam = A*h*rho_s
m = mass of swimmer

Total mass = m + M = m + A*h*rho_s
Downward force = g*(total mass) = g*[m + A*h*rho_s]

The slab is completely submerged.
Buoyant force = g*(mass of water displaced) = g*[A*h*rho_w]

Equate these
g*[m + A*h*rho_s] = g*[A*h*rho_w]
m + A*h*rho_s = A*h*rho_w
A*h*[rho_w - rho_s] = m
A = m/[h*(rho_w - rho_s)]</span>

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency $f=723\ Hz$

apparent Frequency $f'=697\ Hz$

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

$f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}$

where

$f'=$ apparent frequency

v=velocity of sound in the given media

$v_s=$ velocity of source

$v_0=$ velocity of observer

here $v_0=0$

$697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})$

$v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v$

$v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343$

$v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s$

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of $12.8 m/s$

distance traveled by fork is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s$

$s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$s=8.35\ m$

A transmission channel is made up of three sections. The first section introduces a loss of 16dB, the second an amplification (o

AlekseyPX

Answer:

$P_{out} = 0.100 W = 100 mW$

Explanation:

The attached image shows the system expressed in the question.

We can define an expression for the system.

The equivalent equation for the system would be

$G_{total} = G_{1} + G_{2} + G_{3}\\G_{total} = -16dB+20dB-10 dB = -6 dB$

so, the input signal could be expressed in dB terms

$P_{in} [dB] = 10 log_{10}(P_{in}) \\P_{in} [dB] = 10 log_{10}(0.4)\\P_{in} [dB] = -3.97 dB$ (1)

so the output signal could be expressed as.

$P_{out} = P_{in} + G_{1} + G_{2} + G_{3}\\P_{out} = -3.97 dB - 6dB = -9.97 dB$

The gain should be expressed in dB terms and power in dBm terms so

$P_{out} = -9.97 + 30 = 20.03 dBm$

using the (1) equation to find it in terms of Watts

$P_{out} = 0.100 W = 100 mW$
