n the railroad accident, a boxcar weighting 200 kN and traveling at 3 m/s on horizontal track slams into a stationary caboose weighting 400 kN. The collision connects the caboose to the car, and then both move together and you have found the final velocity. Apparently, initial kinetic energy of the system changes (in part, because of friction present). How much energy (in kJ) is transferred from kinetic energy to other forms of energy (e..g., thermal) in the collision

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

Explanation:

This is a crash problem, let's start by defining a system formed by the two trucks, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the moment is preserved

initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₁ + M 0

final instant. Right after the crash

        p_f = (m + M) v

        p₀ = p_f

        mv₁ = (m + M) v

        v = [tex]\frac{m}{m+M} \ v_1[/tex]

     

we substitute

        v = [tex]\frac{20}{20+40}[/tex]   3

        v = 1.0 m / s

having the initial and final velocities, let's find the kinetic energy

        K₀ = ½ m v₁² + 0

        K₀ = ½ 20 10³ 3²

        K₀ = 9 10⁴ J

        K_f = ½ (m + M) v²

        K_f = ½ (20 +40) 10³  1²

        K_f = 3 10⁴ J

the change in energy is

       ΔK = K_f - K₀

       ΔK = (3 - 9) 10⁴

       ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

The negative sign indicates that the energy is ranked in another type of energy

The speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s. The speed of light in ice is 2.29 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index from air to ice?

Answers

Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

[tex]\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\[/tex]

where,

η = refractive index = ?

c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

[tex]\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\[/tex]

η = 1.31

Answers

Answer:

Soundwave should be categorized as follows;

A mechanical wave that has longitudinal vibrations

Explanation:

Sound wave should be categorized as longitudinal waves that vibrate the particles of the medium transmitting sound energy layer by layer along a path parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

Therefore, soundwave should be categorized as a mechanical wave because it is generated and propagated by the vibration of a source and the interaction of the source with the particles of the medium in which the source is located

soundwave is also a longitudinal wave because the direction of vibration of th particles of the medium through which the sound wave is transported is in the same direction as the wave

Therefore, sound wave should be categorized as mechanical wave that has longitudinal vibrations.

The soundwave should be categorized where the mechanical wave that has longitudinal vibrations

What is a sound wave?

It should be categorized at the time when the longitudinal waves should be vibrated the particles with respect to the medium transmitting via layer along with it the path should be parallel to the propagation direction of the wave. Also, it should be categorized as the mechanical wave since there should be the vibration of the source.

A spinning wheel on a fireworks display is initially rotating in a counterclockwise direction. The wheel has an angular acceleration of -4.20 rad/s2. Because of this acceleration, the angular velocity of the wheel changes from its initial value to a final value of -26.0 rad/s. While this change occurs, the angular displacement of the wheel is zero. (Note the similarity to that of a ball being thrown vertically upward, coming to a momentary halt, and then falling downward to its initial position.) Find the time required for the change in the angular velocity to occur.

Answers

Answer:

The time it takes for the change in the angular velocity to occur is 6.5 seconds

Explanation:

From the question, we have;

The angular acceleration of the wheel, α = -4.20 rad/s²

The final angular velocity of the wheel, ω = -26.0 rad/s

From the information, we have the initial direction of rotation of the wheel = Counterclockwise

The angular displacement while the change occurs = 0 rad/s

Therefore, the initial angular velocity of the wheel, ω₀ = 0 rad/s

We have;

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega -\omega _0 }{t - t_0}[/tex]

Where;

t - t₀ = The time it takes for the change to occur

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega -0 }{t - 0}[/tex]

When t₀ = 0, we have;

t - t₀ = t

[tex]\alpha = \dfrac{\omega }{t}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore t = \dfrac{\omega}{\alpha }[/tex]

[tex]\therefore t = \dfrac{-26 \, rad/s}{-4 \, rad/s^2 } \approx 6.5 \, seconds[/tex]

The time it takes for the change in the angular velocity to occur is t - t₀ = 6.5 seconds

A 1,500 kg car is at rest on a level track. The driver gives the engine gas and the car begins to accelerate forward. The car moves from 0 m/s to 27 m/s in 8 sec. What is the acceleration of the car?

Answers

Answer:

3.375 m/s²

Explanation:

Using equation of motion:

v = u + at

Here, v = 27m/s & u = 0m/s & t = 8 sec

Let the acceleration be a.

=> 27 = 0 + 8(a)

=> 27/8 = a

=> 3.375 m/s²

What is the resistance ratio of two bulbs of 100W and 50W at 250V?

Answers

Answer:

This is an interesting and useful question.

With just a bit of algebra and a couple of equations, you can calculate the answer.

The MOST important equation is for Power, P=IV, current times voltage.

You have provided us with a value for the Power of each bulb (100W and 50W) and the voltage of 250V. These are easy numbers. Let's figure out the current through each bulb that produces each power rating.

Current through the 100W bulb = _______

Current through the 50W bulb = _______

(Do these numbers make sense? It would seem as though if the voltages are equal then more current would be needed to generate more power. Right?)

Now we have BOTH the current for each bulb AND the voltage for each bulb.

Time for another equation - the definition of resistance, R= V/I, voltage divided by current.

That should wrap things up for you.

(But, WAIT! Let’s actually MEASURE the resistance of each bulb. We’ve gotta find a resistance meter, also called an ohm-meter, to do this. Do NOT be disappointed if your measurements do not agree with your calculations. Life is WAAAAY too interesting to get hung up on details like this!)

The resistance ratio of the two bulbs is 1/2.

What is meant by electrical power ?

Electrical power of a circuit is defined as the time rate of change of work done in an electrical circuit.

Here,

Power in the first bulb, P₁ = 100 W

Power in the second bulb, P₂ = 50 W

Voltage applied to the bulbs, V = 250 V

The expression for electric power in a circuit is given as,

Power, P = V²/R

where R is the resistance of the circuit.

Since, the voltage is same for both the bulbs, we can say that,

P [tex]\alpha[/tex] 1/R  or  R [tex]\alpha[/tex] 1/P

Therefore, the ratio of resistances of the bulbs,

R₁/R₂ = P₂/P₁

R₁/R₂ = 50/100

R₁/R₂ = 1/2

Hence,

The resistance ratio of the two bulbs is 1/2.
