Fiona and her twin sister April are enjoying the bumper cars at an amusement park. Fiona drives her car toward her sisters and t

he two cars collide. Before the collision, Fiona was moving with a speed of 3 m/s and April was moving with a speed of 1 m/s. After the collision, Fiona is moving with a speed of 1 m/s and April is moving with a speed of 3 m/s. If Fiona and her bumper car have a combined mass of 80 kg, what is the combined mass of April and her bumper car?
M2 = ? kg

The mass of April and her bumper car is 80 kg

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision, so we have:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where:

$m_1 = 80 kg$ is the mass of Fiona+her bumper

$u_1 = 3 m/s$ is the initial velocity of Fiona (we take her direction as positive direction)

$v_1 = -1 m/s$ is the final velocity of Fiona (she rebounds back)

$m_2$ is the mass of April+her bumper

$u_2 = - 1 m/s$ is the initial velocity of April (in the opposite direction)

$v_2 = 3 m/s$ is the final velocity of April

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the mass of April+bumper:

$m_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 - m_1 v_1}{v_2-u_2}=\frac{(80)(3)-(80)(-1)}{3-(-1)}=80 kg$

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

t = 4.17 [s]

Explanation:

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]

In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

w = 14.7*9.81

w = 144.2 [N]

Therefore the work can be calculated.

W = w*d

W = 144.2*63.4

W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)

Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 2190 [W]

t = time [s]

Now clearing t, we have.

t = W/P

t = 9142.72/2190

t = 4.17 [s]

A roller coaster car drops a maximum vertical distance of 35.4 m. Determine the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that d

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum vertical distance covered by the roller coaster, h = 35.4 m

We need to find the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop. It is a case of conservation of energy. The energy at bottom is equal to the energy at top such that :

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 35.4}$

v = 26.34 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The A-string (440 HzHz) on a piano is 38.9 cmcm long and is clamped tightly at both ends. If the string tension is 667N, what's

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Mass, m = 2.2 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the piano, f = 440 Hz

Length of the piano, L = 38.9 cm = 0.389 m

Tension in the spring, T = 667 N

The frequency in the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$\mu=\dfrac{m}{L}$ is the linear mass density

On rearranging, we get the value of m as follows :

$m=\dfrac{T}{4Lf^2}$

$m=\dfrac{667}{4\times 0.389\times (440)^2}$

m = 0.0022 kg

or

m = 2.2 grams

So, the mass of the object is 2.2 grams. Hence, this is the required solution.

klio [65]

Answer:

57.94°

Explanation:

we know that the expression of flux

$\Phi =E\times S\times COS\Theta$

where Ф= flux

E= electric field

S= surface area

θ = angle between the direction of electric field and normal to the surface.

we have Given Ф= 78 $\frac{Nm^{2}}{sec}$

E= $1.44\times 10^{4}\frac{Nm}{C}$

S= $\pi \times 0.057^{2}$

$COS\Theta =\frac{\Phi }{S\times E}$

= $\frac{78}{1.44\times 10^{4}\times \pi \times 0.057^{2}}$

=0.5306

θ=57.94°
