A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t

ruck is 12.7 m/s^2. The mass of the truck is 2490 kg and the mass of the car is 890 kg. Assume that the only horizontal forces on the vehicles during the collision are the forces they exert on one another.
Required:
What is the acceleration of the car at the same moment?

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, $a_t$ = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, $m_t$ = 2490 kg

mass of the car, $m_c$ = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = $a_c$

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

$F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Th e heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its tem

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Q=1005 J

t= 0.67 sec

Explanation:

Lets take condition of room is 1 atm and 25°C.

Heat capacity ,c = 21 J /K.mol

If we assume that air is ideal gas that

P V = n R T

$V= 5.5\times 6.5\times 3\ m^3$

$V=107.25\ m^3$

$V=107.25\times 1000 L$

V= 107250 L

At STP number of moles given as

$n=\dfrac{V}{V_{at\ S.T.P.}}$

V=22.4 L at S.T.P.

$n=\dfrac{107250}{22.4}\ moles$

n=4787.94 moles

n= 4.784 Kmoles

So heat required to raise 10°C temperature

Q = n x c x ΔT

Q = 4.78794 x 21 x 10

Q=1004.64 J

Time t

t= Q/P

P= 1.5 KW

t = 1.004.64 /1.5

t= 0.66 sec

A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C

A 3kW oven supplied with 9mJ of energy.How many minutes can it run for?

andreev551 [17]

<span>Hello!

We have the following data:
</span>
Time (T) = ? (in minutes)
Power (P) = 3 kW → 3000 W
Energy (E) = 9 MJ → 9000000 J or (W/s)

Formula of the consumption of electric energy:

$P = \frac{E}{T}$

Solving:

$P = \frac{E}{T}$

$P = \frac{E}{T} \to T = \frac{E}{P}$

$T = \frac{9000\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W/s}{3\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W}$

$\boxed{T = 3000\:seconds}$

How many minutes can it run for? (<span>Let's convert in minutes)
</span>
1 minute --------- 60 seconds
y minute --------- 3000 seconds

$\frac{1}{y} = \frac{60}{3000}$

<span>Product of extremes equals product of means
</span>
$60*y = 1*3000$

$60y = 3000$

$y = \frac{3000}{60}$

$\boxed{\boxed{y = 50\:minutes}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

I hope this helps! =)

A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$v_{f}$ = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is a moment process that described by the expression

$v_{f}$ - v₀ = $v_{r}$ ln (M₀ / Mf)

Where v are the velocities, final, initial and relative and M the masses

The data they give are the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass the mass of the loaded rocket (M₀ = 5Mf)

We consider that the rocket starts from rest (v₀ = 0)

At the time of burning half of the fuel the mass ratio is that the current mass is

M = 2.5 Mf

$v_{f}$ - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

$v_{f}$ = 1,386 m / s

ira [324]

At r = 2R> R The expression for the electric field will be given by: (2R)^2*E=kQ. Where, k=(9*10^9)N.m/C^2, Q=(8*10^-10)C and R=0.025m. So substituting and clearing, we have that the magnitude of the electric field will be: E=(9*10^9)*(8*10^-10)/((2*0.025)^2)=2880 N / C.
