A children's roller coaster is released from the top of a track. If its maximum speed at ground level is 3 m/s, find the height it was released from.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 0.46 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Potential Energy Lost by Roller Coaster = Kinetic Energy Gained by Roller Coaster

[tex]mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\2gh = v^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]

where,

h = height = ?

v = speed at bottom = 3 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

[tex]h = \frac{(3\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}[/tex]

h = 0.46 m

Light travels through space at a speed of 3.0 x 108 m/s. A space probe is
traveling toward Earth at 2.5 * 108 m/s when one of its spotlights is turned
on. What speed would an observer on Earth measure for the light from the
spotlight?
O A. 2.5 * 108 m/s
O B. 3.0 x 108 m/s
O c. 5.5 x 108 m/s
O D. 0.5 x 108 m/s

Answers

Explanation:

The answer is (B). The speed of light is the same for all observers regardless of their motion relative to the light source.

The speed would an observer on Earth measures for the light from the spotlight will be 3×10⁸ m/sec.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while v for the final speed. its si unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is;

The speed of light is, [tex]\rm C =3 \times 10^8\ m/sec[/tex]

All frames of reference have the same speed of light in a vacuum. Therefore the speed would an observer on Earth measures for the light from the spotlight will be 3×10⁸ m/sec.

Hence option B is correct.

A 4kg and 5kg bodies moving on a frictionless horizontal surface at a velocity of ( -6i )m/s and ( +3 )m/s respectively. Collide a head on elastic collision. What is the velocity ( magnitude and direction) of the each body after collision?

Answers

Answer:

4 kg → +4 m/s

5 kg → -5 m/s

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'left side → velocities before collisionright side → velocities after collision

You'll notice that we have two missing variables: v₁' & v₂'. Assuming this is a perfectly elastic collision, we can use the conservation of kinetic energy to set the initial and final velocities of the individual bodies equal to each other.

v₁ + v₁' = v₂ + v₂'  

Let's substitute all known variables into the first equation.

(4)(-6) + (5)(3) = (4)v₁' + (5)v₂' -24 + 15 = 4v₁' + 5v₂' -9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂'  

Let's substitute the known variables into the second equation.

(-6) + v₁' = (3) + v₂' -9 = -v₁' + v₂' 9 = v₁' - v₂'  

Now we have a system of equations where we can solve for v₁ and v₂.

-9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂' 9 = v₁' - v₂'  

Use the elimination method and multiply the bottom equation by -4.

-9 = 4v₁' + 5v₂' -36 = -4v₁' + 4v₂'

Add the equations together.

-45 = 9v₂'-5 = v₂'

The final velocity of the second body (5 kg) is -5 m/s. Substitute this value into one of the equations in the system to find v₁.  

9 = v₁' - v₂'9 = v₁' - (-5) 9 = v₁' + 5 4 = v₁'

The final velocity of the first body (4 kg) is 4 m/s.

We can verify our answer by making sure that the law of conservation of momentum is followed.

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂' (4)(-6) + (5)(3) = (4)(4) + (5)(-5)-24 + 15 = 16 - 25 -9 = -9

The combined momentum of the bodies before the collision is equal to the combined momentum of the bodies after the collision. [✓]

Explanation:

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without friction. A 0.02 kg bullet is moving from right to left with an angular momentum of 9 kgm2s just before it strikes the cylinder near its bottom and gets stuck at the outer radius. What is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the cylinder bullet system after the impact

Answers

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.

Cart A with a mass equal to 24 kg is moving to the right at 3.2 m/s. It collides with Cart B that
has a mass of 32 kg and is moving to the left with a velocity of 12.8 m/s. After the collision,
Cart A has a velocity of 2.9 meters per second to the left. What is the speed of the Cart B after
the collision?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the Law of Momentum Conservation, what happens after the collision has to equal what happened before the collision because momentum cannot be created nor destroyed; it has to go somewhere else. Like energy eventually dissipates into heat. The equation for this is:

[tex][m_Av_A+m_Bv_B)]_b=[(m_Av_A+m_Bv_B)]_a[/tex] and filling in our info, calling right positive and left negative:

[(24(3.2) + 32(-12.8)] = [(24(-2.9) + 32(vB)] and

[(77 - 410)] = [(-7.0 × 10¹ + 32vB)] and

-330 = -7.0 × 10¹ + 32vB and

-260 = 32vB so

vB = -8.1 m/s Thus, cart B is moving to the left at a velocity of 8.1 m/s

Determine the small gravitational force F which the copper sphere exerts on the steel sphere. Both spheres are homogeneous, and the value of r is 50 mm. Express your result as a vector.

Answers

Solution :

We know that the volume of sphere is given by :

[tex]$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r ^3$[/tex]

Given r = 50 mm

The density of copper is :

[tex]$\rho_c = 8910 \ kg/m^3$[/tex]

The density of steel is :

[tex]$\rho_s = 7830\ kg/m^3$[/tex]

Therefore, mass of copper is :

[tex]$m_c= V . \rho$[/tex]

[tex]$m_c= \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.05)^3 \times 8910$[/tex]

     = 4.665 kg

     = 4665 g

Similarly, mass of steel is :

[tex]$m_s= V . \rho$[/tex]

[tex]$m_s= \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.025)^3 \times 7830$[/tex]

     = 0.512 kg

     = 512 g

Now the distance between the centers of the particles is by Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]$l^2=(4r)^2+(2r)^2$[/tex]

l = 4.472 x r

 = 4.472 x 50

 = 224 mm

 = 0.224 m

From the law of gravitation,

We know,  [tex]G = 6673 \times 10^{-11} \ m^3 / kg-s^2[/tex]

∴  [tex]$F=G\times \frac{m_c \times m_s}{l^2}$[/tex]

[tex]$F=6.673 \times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.665 \times 0.512}{(0.224)^2}$[/tex]

[tex]$F = 3.176 \times 10^{-9} \ N$[/tex]

Now,

[tex]$\alpha = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2r}{4r}\right)$[/tex]

   =  [tex]$26.56^\circ$[/tex]

Therefore, we can write it in the vector form as

[tex]$\text{F}=F(-i . \cos \alpha - j. \sin \alpha)$[/tex]

[tex]$\text{F}=3.176 \times 10^{-9}(-i . \cos 26.56 - j. \sin 26.56)$[/tex]

[tex]$\text{F}=(-2.840\ i- 1.420 \ j) \times 10^{-9} \ N$[/tex]

A. mg cos(0) - FN
B. mg cos(0)
C. mg sin(0)
D. mg sin(0) - FN

A lake is home to a large number of trout. Identify what is most likely to happen if a chemical is dumped into the lake.

I. The trout will not be affected by the pollution.

III. The trout will suffer from disease.

A) I

B) I and II

C) III

D) II and III

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Natural selection is the process that took place in the lake. Only those trouts that were fit to survive, or those that have alleles that allow them adapt to new conditions, live and multiply in the presence of an external environmental effect like pollution. In such a circumstance, the fittest organisms would have survived, and the population's allelic frequency would have grown through time. Due to pollution, creatures harboring the other alleles died, causing the total frequency of alleles to alter.

Therefore, the correct option is C) III. That is, the trout will suffer from disease.
