Two hockey players skating on essentially frictionless ice collide head-on. Madeleine, of mass 65.0 kg, is moving at 6.00 m/s to

the east just before the collision and at 3.00 m/s to the west just after the collision. Buffy, of mass 55.0 kg, is moving at 3.50 m/s to the east just after the collision. Find Buffy's velocity (magnitude and direction) just before the collision.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Madeleine, $m_1=65\ kg$

Initial speed of Madeleine, $u_1=6\ m/s$ (due east)

Final speed of Madeleine, $v_1=-3\ m/s$ (due west)

Mass of Buffy, $m_2=55\ kg$

Final speed of Buffy, $v_2=3.5\ m/s$ (due east)

Let $u_1$ is the Buffy's velocity just before the collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$65\times 6+55\times u_2=65\times (-3)+55\times 3.5$

$u_2=-7.13\ m/s$

So, the initial speed of the Buffy just before the collision is 7.13 m/s and it is moving due west. Hence, this is the required solution.

The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 × 105 N, so the tracks push forward on th

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th

icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

$\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t$

From our given data we know that,

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}$

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})$

$\omega = 7.958rad/s$

Moreover we know that

$\theta_0 = 0.47 rad$

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

$\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t$

$\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)$

$\theta = 64.9298rad$

That number in revolution is:

$\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})$

$\theta = 15.108 Revolutions$

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

$\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi$

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is $0.216\pi$

The mass m1 enters from the left with velocity v0 and strikes a mass m2 > m1 which is initially at rest. The collision betwee

enot [183]

Answer:

1. False 2) greater than. 3) less than 4) less than

Explanation:

1)

As the collision is perfectly elastic, kinetic energy must be conserved.
The expression for the final velocity of the mass m₁, for a perfectly elastic collision, is as follows:

$v_{1f} = v_{10} *\frac{m_{1} -m_{2} }{m_{1} +m_{2}}$

As it can be seen, as m₁ ≠ m₂, v₁f ≠ 0.

2)

As total momentum must be conserved, we can see that as m₂ > m₁, from the equation above the final momentum of m₁ has an opposite sign to the initial one, so the momentum of m₂ must be greater than the initial momentum of m₁, to keep both sides of the equation balanced.

3)

The maximum energy stored in the in the spring is given by the following expression:

$U =\frac{1}{2} *k * A^{2}$

where A = maximum compression of the spring.

This energy is always the sum of the elastic potential energy and the kinetic energy of the mass (in absence of friction).
When the spring is in a relaxed state, the speed of the mass is maximum, so, its kinetic energy is maximum too.
Just prior to compress the spring, this kinetic energy is the kinetic energy of m₂, immediately after the collision.
As total kinetic energy must be conserved, the following condition must be met:

$KE_{10} = KE_{1f} + KE_{2f}$

So, it is clear that KE₂f < KE₁₀
Therefore, the maximum energy stored in the spring is less than the initial energy in m₁.

4)

As explained above, if total kinetic energy must be conserved:

$KE_{10} = KE_{1f} + KE_{2f}$

So as kinetic energy is always positive, KEf₂ < KE₁₀.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.
