A green puck with mass 10 kg strikes a stationary yellow puck with mass 10 kg. The green puck was moving at a velocity of 7i – 6

j m/s, and its center was at (1, 2) when it hit the yellow puck. Which of the following could be the velocities of the pucks after the collision? (Assume the collision is elastic.)

Momentum is conserved. If the two pucks hit dead center, no angular momentum is induced. Since both pucks have the same mass and the collision is elastic, all momentum is transferred. The green puck will become stationary and the yellow puck will pick up the velocity of the green one.

If a 110 kg go-cart traveling at a velocity of 13.41 m/s has a collision with an impulse of 615 Nxs, what is the
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

5.59 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass = 110 kg

Initial velocity: u = 13.41 m/s

Force = 615 N

Time(t) = 1 s

Now, the formula for force is;

Force = mass x acceleration

Thus;

615 = 110 × acceleration

\Acceleration(a) = 615/110 = 5.591 m/s²

Now, using Newton's first law of motion, we can find acceleration (a). Thus;

v = u + at

v = 13.41 + (5.591 × 1)

v ≈ 19 m/s

So,the change in velocity is;

Final velocity(v) - Initial velocity(u) = 19 - 13.41 = 5.59 m/s

A 2200 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2400 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full pow
leonid [27]

Answer:

a) The maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV is 7.5 meters per second squared

b) The force of the SUV's bumper on the truck's bumper is 18000 newtons

Explanation:

a) By Newton's second law we can find the relation between force and acceleration of the SUV:

F=ma

With F the maximum force the truck applies to the SUV, m the mass of the SUV and a the acceleration of the SUV; solving for a:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{18000}{2400}\approx7.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) Because at this acceleration the truck's bumper makes a force of 18000 N on the SUV’s bumper by Third Newton’s law the force of the SUV’s bumper on the truck’s bumper is 18000 N too because they are action-reaction force pairs.

4. Dr. Copus is in charge of the cognition department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A new drug named Mem-Reen has beco
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>Independent variable</u>: Type of drug (Mem-Reen or placebo)

<u>Dependent variable</u>: memories

<u>Experimental group</u>: The group that was given Mem-Reen

<u>Control group</u>: The group that was given placebo

<u>Constants</u>: Food, hours of sleep, memory test procedures.

The independent variable is an input variable that produces effects on the dependent variable. As the variable is changed, it produces different effects on the dependent variable.

The dependent variable is the actual variable that is measured during an experiment. It is the main purpose of setting-up of an experiment.

The experimental group is also referred to as the treatment group while the control group is the group that does not receive treatment at all or they receive fake treatment/placebo.

Constants are unchanging variables included in experiments. They remain unchanged both in the treatment and the control group, otherwise, the outcome of the experiment will be unreliable.

Heat engines were first envisioned and built during the industrial revolution. Explain the thermodynamics of a heat engine comme
Artyom0805 [142]

Heat engines were developed during industrial revolution.

Generally a heat engine contains three parts i.e source, sink and working substance.

The source of a heat engine is present at a higher temperature as compared to the sink. Due to the temperature difference, the heat will flow from source to sink through working substance.

Let us consider  T_{1}\ and\ T_{2} are the temperature of source and sink.

As the source is at higher temperature as compared to sink, heat will flow from source to sink.

Let\ Q_{1}\ and\ Q_{2} are the heat provided by source and heat rejected to sink.

Hence, the work done by the working substance will be -

                                                W\ =\ Q_{1}-Q_{2}

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of output to the input energy.

Here output = workdone [W]

Hence, the efficiency of a heat engine is calculated as -

                     Efficiency\ [\eta]=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}

                                        \eta\ =\frac{Q_{1}- Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

                                               =\ 1-\frac{Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}

This is the expression for the efficiency of heat engine.

Here, all the heat absorbed by the working substance can not be converted to desired output. The efficiency of a heat engine can not be 100 percent. Some amount of heat is lost in the form of sound and heat due to the friction which is produced due to the relative motion between various parts of the machine.
