Car B is following Car A and has a greater speed than Car A. the two cars are moving in a straight line and in the same directio

n, and have the same mass. in situation one, Car A is traveling at 10 mph and car B at 20 mph. in situation 2, car A is traveling at 30 mph and car B at 40 mph. assuming a perfectly inelastic collision in which the cars stick together after the collision, what will be true?

Answer:

Collision force will be same in both the cases.

Explanation:

A perfectly inelastic collision is said to take place  when a system loses the amount of its Kinetic Energy at its maximum. In a perfectly inelastic collision,  the colliding particles stick to each other. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by combining the two bodies with each other.

In situation 1:

Speed of Car A, v_{A} = 10 mph

Speed of Car B, v_{B} = 20 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Now, in the situation 2:

Speed of car A, v_{A} = 30 mph

Speed of car B, v_{B} = 40 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Therefore, Car A and Car B both have the same relative speed, v = 10 m/s

The diagram shows a heat engine. In which area of the diagram is unusable thermal energy detected?
Marat540 [252]
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t
ipn [44]

Answer:

ball clears the net

Explanation:

v_{o} = initial speed of launch of the ball = 20 ms^{-1}

\theta = angle of launch = 5 deg

Consider the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction

v_{ox} = initial velocity = v_{o} Cos\theta = 20 Cos5 = 19.92 ms^{-1}

t = time of travel

X = horizontal displacement of the ball to reach the net = 7 m

Since there is no acceleration along the horizontal direction, we have

X = v_{ox} t \\7 = v_{ox} t\\t = \frac{7}{v_{ox}}       Eq-1

Consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v_{oy} = initial velocity = v_{o} Sin\theta = 20 Sin5 = 1.74 ms^{-1}

t = time of travel

Y_{o} = Initial position of the ball at the time of launch = 2 m

Y = Final position of the ball at time "t"

a_{y} = acceleration in down direction = - 9.8 ms⁻²

Along the vertical direction , position at any time is given as

Y = Y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}\\Y = 2 + (20 Sin5) (\frac{7}{20 Cos5}) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (\frac{7}{20 Cos5})^{2}\\Y = 2.00758 m\\

Since Y > 1 m

hence the ball clears the net

A bird flies at an average velocity of 3.60 m/s for 18.4 s. How far does it travel? (unit=m)
jarptica [38.1K]
First, you have to write what you know:

V = 3.60 m/s
D = ?
T = 18.4 s

Next, you plug everything into this formula:

V = D/T
3.60 m/s = ?/18.4 s

Then, you multiply 3.60 m/s and 18.4 s

D = 66.24 m

Please help meee&lt;3~I have no idea what the answer is~

9).
In a properly conducted experiment, the experimenter controls one part
of the experiment to see what the other parts do.

Example:  Experiment to describe the effect of heat on ice.
Take two same-size ice cubes out of the same ice tray in the same fridge.
Place each one on a little temperature-controlled electric pad.
Turn one pad on, to make it warm.  Leave the other pad turned off. 
You CONTROL one part of the experiment:  the amount of heat that
       the ice cube gets.
You KNOW that the heat is the only thing different between the two
     ice cubes.  They're the same size.  They were both made from
     the same water, and froze in the same tray in the same fridge.
so
You KNOW that any difference will be the result of the heat on one of them.
You WATCH to see what happens to the one that gets the heat.


10).
An hypothesis is a prediction of what you believe may be true. 
Once you have it, it's time to do an experiment to find out whether
your hypothesis is true.

Example:
I have an hypothesis.  It predicts that when ice gets warm it melts.
Experiment:
Take two same-size ice cubes out of the same ice tray in the same fridge.
Set one ice cube down on the table.
Keep the other one in your hand.
The one in your hand melts while the one on the table is still solid.
Is the hypothesis correct ?
Maybe it is.  Maybe it isn't.
We know that there's something about your hand that melts ice.
It may be the warmth.  But it may be something else about human skin.
You'll need another experiment, slightly different, to find out if it's the warmth.
