What is  law of conservation of momentum ?

Conservation of momentum states that For two or more bodies in an isolated system acting upon each other, their total momentum remains constant unless an external force is applied. Therefore, momentum can neither be created nor destroyed.

using conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1 v1' + m2 v2'

Given

m1 = 3154 kg

v1= 6m/s

m2 = 8296 kg

v2 = 23 m/s

v1' = 7m/s

v2' = ?

3154 * 6 + 8296 * 23 = 3154 * 7 + 8296 v2'

209732 - 22078 = 8296 v2'

187654 = 8296 v2'

v2' = 22.62 ≈ 23 m/s east

correct option is C. 23 m/s east

A block is attached to one end of a spring with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The block is vibrating horizontally on a frictionless surface. If the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, the spring constant is k

Answers

Complete Question

A block is attached to one end of a spring with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The block is vibrating horizontally on a frictionless surface. If the mass of the block is 4.0 kg, the spring constant is k = 100 N/m, and the maximum distance of the block from the equilibrium position is 20 cm, what is the speed of the block at an instant when it is a distance of 16 cm from the equilibrium position?

Answer:

The velocity is [tex]v = 0.6 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The mass of the block is  m =  4.0 kg

  The spring constant is k =  100 N/m

  The maximum distance of the block from equilibrium position is  d = 20 cm =0.20 m

   The distance considered is  [tex]d_k = 16 \ cm = 0.16 \ m[/tex]

Generally the maximum energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E = \frac{1}{2} * k * d^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]E = \frac{1}{2} *100 * 0.2^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]E = 2.0 \ J[/tex]

Gnerally according to the law of energy conservation

   The energy maximum energy of  the spring = energy of  the spring at [tex]d_k[/tex] + energy of the block at [tex]d_k[/tex]

Here energy of the block at [tex]d_k[/tex] is mathematically represented as

        [tex]K_1 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]K_1 = \frac{1}{2} * 4* v^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]K_1 = 2v^2[/tex]

Generally the energy of the spring at [tex]d_k[/tex] is mathematically represented as

      [tex]E_2 =\frac{1}{2} * k * d_k^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]E_2 =\frac{1}{2} * 100 * (0.16)^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]E_2 =1.28 \ J[/tex]

So

       [tex]2.0 = 1.28 + 2v^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]v = 0.6 \ m/s[/tex]

Suppose that a Ferrari and a Porsche begin a race with a moving start, and each moves with constant speed. One lap of the track is 2 km. The Ferrari laps the Porsche after the Porsche has completed 9 laps. If the speed of the Ferrari had been 10 km/h less, the Porsche would have traveled 18 laps before being overtaken. What were the speeds of the two cars?

Answers

Answer:

Porsche = 180 kmph

Ferrari = 200 kmph

Explanation:

Given that

The distance of one lap = 2 km

The distance the Ferrari laps the Porsche = 9 laps

The distance the Ferrari will lap the Porsche with 10 km/h less speed = 18 laps

So we say let,

the speed of the Ferrari = S(f),

the speed of the Porsche = S(p), and

the time that lapse before two cars lapped = t

From the question, we're told that

(S(f) * t1) - (S(p) * t1) = 2 km, also

S(p) * t1 = 9 * 2 = 18 km

Referring back to the initial equation

(S(f) * t1) = 2 + (S(p) * t1)

(S(f) * t1) = 2 + 18 = 20 km

Going back to the question again, we're told that

(S(f) - 10) * t₂ - S(p) * t₂ = 2 km

S(p) * t₂ = 18 * 2 = 36 km

So that,

(S(f) - 10) * t₂ = 2 km + S(p) * t₂

(S(f) - 10) * t₂ = 2 + 36 km = 38 km

(S(f) - 10) * t₂ = 38 km

S(p) * t₂ (36 km) = 2 * S(p) * t₁ (18 km),

S(p) * t₂ = 2 * S(p) * t₁, collect like terms

t₂ = 2t₁

(S(f) - 10) * 2t₁ - S(p) * 2t₁ = 2 km

(S(f) - 10) * 2t₁ = 38 km

(S(f) - 10) * 2t₁ = 38 km

2t₁ * S(f) - 2t₁ * 10 = 38 km

S(f) * t₁ = 20 km,

2 * 20 km - 2t₁ * 10 = 38 km

2t₁ * 10 = 2 * 20 km - 38 km

2t₁ * 10 = 2 km

20t₁ = 2 km

t₁ = 2/20 = 0.1 hour = 6 minutes

This means that

S(p) * t₁ = 18 km

S(p) * 0.1 h = 18 km

S(p) = 18 km/0.1 h = 180 km/h

The speed of the Porsche = S = 180 km/h

S(f) * t₁ = 20 km

S(f) × 0.1 h = 20 km

S(f) = 20 km/0.1 h = 200 km/h

The speed of the Ferrari = S = 200 km/h

A stone is thrown vertically upward with the velocity of 25 m/s. How long day
it take to reach the maximum height? Also calculate the height​

Answers

Answer:

The stone takes 2.55 sec to reach a maximum height of 31.89 m

Explanation:

Vertical Motion

When an object is thrown vertically up with a speed vo, it loses speed because of the effect of the gravity and gains height until the speed is eventually zero. The height attained at that time is called maximum height, and can be calculated as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}[/tex]

Since vo=25 m/s

[tex]\displaystyle h_m=\frac{25^2}{2\cdot 9.8}=31.89\ m[/tex]

Also, the time taken to reach the maximum height is calculated by:

[tex]\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o}{g}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle t_m=\frac{25}{9.8}=2.55\ s[/tex]

The stone takes 2.55 sec to reach a maximum height of 31.89 m

A power cycle operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 500 K and 300 K, respectively, receives 1000 kJ by heat transfer from the hot reservoir. The magnitude of the energy discharged by heat transfer to the cold reservoir must satisfy

Answers

Answer:

The value is [tex]Q_l \ge 600\ k J[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The temperature of  hot is  [tex]T_h = 500 \ K[/tex]

   The temperature of cold is  [tex]T_c = 300 \ K[/tex]

   The energy received is  [tex]E = 1000 \ kJ = 1000 *10^{3 } \ J[/tex]

Generally the maximum thermal  efficiency of the engine is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\eta = \frac{T_h - T_c}{T_h}[/tex]

=> [tex]\eta = \frac{500 - 300}{500}[/tex]

=> [tex]\eta = 0.4[/tex]

Generally the thermal  efficiency of the engine is  

   [tex]\eta_t = \frac{Q - Q_l}{Q}[/tex]

Here  [tex]Q_l[/tex] is the heat energy rejected

Generally the thermal efficiency must be less than or equal to the maximum thermal  efficiency

So

       [tex]\frac{Q - Q_l}{Q} \le 0.4[/tex]

=>    [tex]\frac{1000 *10^{3} - Q_l}{1000 *10^{3} } \le 0.4[/tex]

the change in inequality sign is because [tex]1000*10^{3}[/tex]  which was dividing started multiplying

=>    [tex]Q_l \ge 1000*10^{3} - 400*10^{-3}[/tex]

=>  [tex]Q_l \ge 600*10^{3} \ J[/tex]

=>  [tex]Q_l \ge 600\ k J[/tex]

An Astronaut on the Moon drops a rock straight downward from a height of 1.25 meters. If the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is 1.62 meters per second squared, what is the speed of the rock just before it lands?

Answers

Answer:

Since the astronaut drops the rock, the initial velocity of the rock is 0 m/s

We are given:

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = v m/s

acceleration (a) = 1.62 m/s/s

height (h) = 1.25 m

Solving for v:

From the third equation of motion:

v²-u² = 2ah

replacing the variables

v² - (0)² =2 (1.62)(1.25)

v² = 1.62 * 2.5

v² = 4 (approx)

v = √4

v = 2 m/s

The speed of the rock just before it lands is 2 m/s

What is the frequency (n, in Hz) of the photons emitted by a He-Ne laser with a wavelength (l) of 632.8 nm

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Wavelength of the He-Ne laser (l): 632.8 nmFrequency of the He-Ne laser (n): ?Speed of light (c): 3.000 × 10⁸ m/s

Step 2: Convert "l" to meters

We will use the conversion factor 1 m = 10⁹ nm.

632.8 nm × (1 m / 10⁹ nm) = 6.328 × 10⁻⁷ m

Step 3: Calculate the frequency of the He-Ne laser

We will use the following expression.

c = l × n

n = c / l

n = (3.000 × 10⁸ m/s) / (6.328 × 10⁻⁷ m)

n = 4.741 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹ = 4.741 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Your car is initially at rest when your hit that gas and the car begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.857 m/s/s. The acceleration lasts for 15.5 s. What is the final speed of the car and how much ground does it cover during this acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

Vf = 44.56 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following expression of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 2.857 [m/s^2]

t = time = 15.5 [s]

Note: the initial velocity is equal to zero as the car begins its movement from rest, or with an initial velocity equal to zero.

Vf = 0 + (2.875*15.5)

Vf = 44.56 [m/s]
