A 1500-kg car locks its brakes and skids to a stop on a slippery horizontal road, leaving skid marks that are 15 m long. How muc

Harman [31]

Answer:

$E=88200\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car, $m=1500\ kg$

distance of skidding after the application of brakes, $d=15\ m$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.4$

<u>So, the energy dissipated during the skidding of car:</u>

<em>Frictional force:</em>

$f=\mu_k.N$

where N = normal reaction by ground on the car

$f=0.4\ties 1500\times 9.8$

$f=5880\ N$

<em>Now from the work-energy equivalence:</em>

$E=f.d$

$E=5880\times 15$

$E=88200\ J$ is the dissipated energy.

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end

Triss [41]

Answer: m= 35.6 kg

Explanation:

For finding the mass of the stone we have the formula

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

Here, Tension= m*g = m*9.81

and linear mass density= $\frac{8.25 g}{65 cm}$

Linear mass density= $\frac{8.25*10^-3}{65*10^-2}$

Linear mass density= 0.0127 kg/m

Velocity= $2*\frac{l}{t}$

Velocity= 2 * $\frac{65*10^-2}{7.84}$

Velocity= 165.8 m/s

So putting all these values in equation we get

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

165.8= $\sqrt{\frac{m*9.81}{0.0127} }$

Solving we get

m= 35.58 kg

or m= 35.6 kg

An electron moving at right angles to a 0.1 T magnetic field experiences an acceleration of 6 × 1015 m.s-2. What is the speed of

GaryK [48]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

Acceleration, $a=6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of electron, $m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

(a) The force acting on the electron when it is accelerated is, F = ma

The force acting on the electron when it is in magnetic field, $F=qvB\ sin\theta$

Here, $\theta=90$

So, $ma=qvB$

Where

v is the velocity of the electron

B is the magnetic field

$v=\dfrac{ma}{qB}$

$v=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.1\ T}$

v = 341250 m/s

or

$v=3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the speed of the electron is $3.41\times 10^5\ m/s$

(b) In 1 ns, the speed of the electron remains the same as the force is perpendicular to the cross product of velocity and the magnetic field.

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}$

the diameter decreases 86% so

$d_2 = 0.86d_1$

$v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s
