Answer: B. 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Initially, we will calculate the velocity at which the red and blue cars move when they merge post-initial collision.

Utilizing the principle of momentum conservation,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of red Car, Mr = 225 kg

Mass of blue car, Mb = 180 kg

Mass of green car, Mg = 150 kg

Initial velocity of red car, Ur = 3.0 m/s

Initial velocity of blue car, Ub = 0

Initial velocity of green car, Ug = 0

Collision 1:

Mr Ur + Mb Ub = (Mr+Mb) V

where V stands for the final velocity after merging of the red and blue cars.

225 × 3 + 0 = (225 + 180 ) V

⇒ V = 675/ 405 = 1.67 kg.m/s

Collision 2:

These two cars collide with the green car. Let's denote the final velocity of all three cars combined after the collision as V'.

(Mr+Mb) V + Mg Ug = (Mr+Mb+Mg) V'

675 + 0 = 555 V'

⇒V' = 1.2 m/s

Therefore, the correct choice is B.

Given


m1(mass of red bumper): 225 Kg


m2 (mass of blue bumper): 180 Kg


m3(mass of green bumper): 150 Kg


v1 (velocity of red bumper): 3.0 m/s


v2 (final velocity of the combined bumpers):?




The principle of momentum conservation indicates that the momentum before impacts equals the momentum after impacts. This can be represented mathematically as:


Pa= Pb


Pa symbolizes the momentum prior to collision and Pb refers to momentum after collision.


Applying this principle to the aforementioned scenario results in:


Momentum pre-collision= momentum post-collision.


Momentum pre-collision = (m1+m2) x v1 =(225+180)x 3 = 1215 Kgm/s


Momentum post-collision = (m1+m2+m3) x v2 =(225+180+150)x v2

=555v2

We now know that Momentum pre-collision equals momentum post-collision.


<presulting in="">

1215 = 555 v2


v2 = 2.188 m/s


Consequently, the final velocity of the combined bumper cars is 2.188 m/s

An adult elephant has a mass of about 5.0 tons. An adult elephant shrew has a mass of about 50 grams. How far r from the center
Maru [3345]

Answer:

2023857702.507 m

Explanation:

f=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

Using Newton's law of gravitation:

G = gravitational constant

m_shrew = 50 g

m_elephant = 5 × 10^3 kg

r_earth = Earth's radius, 6400 km or 6,400,000 m

m_earth = Earth's mass

Equate the gravitational forces:

G m_shrew m_earth / r_earth^2 = G m_elephant m_earth / r^2

Cancel common terms on both sides:

m_shrew / r_earth^2 = m_elephant / r^2

Rearranged to solve for r^2:

r^2 = (m_elephant × r_earth^2) / m_shrew

Substituting the values:

r^2 = 4.096 × 10^{13}

Taking square root gives:

r = 2,023,857,702.507 m

A fire engine is moving south at 35 m/s while blowing its siren at a frequency of 400 Hz.
ValentinkaMS [3465]

To tackle this issue, we will apply the principles linked to the Doppler effect. This effect refers to the alteration in the perceived frequency of any wave when there is relative motion between the source of the waves and the observer. It can be mathematically explained as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

In this case,

f_d=frequency detected by the receiver

f_s=frequency emitted by the source

v_d=speed of the detector

v_s=speed of the source

v=speed of sound waves

Substituting values yields,

f_d = 400(\frac{(343+18)}{(343-35)})

f_d=422 Hz

Thus, the frequency that passengers would hear is 422Hz

two kittens are on opposite sides of a field, 250 m apart. kitten the runs at a constant speed of 25 m/s due east on a collision
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Set the initial location of kitten A on the left side of the field (designated as point A) at the origin, running east which is the positive direction. Kitten B starts at position {x_B}_0=250\,\mathrm m, while kitten A’s beginning spot is {x_A}_0=0\,\mathrm m.

Kitten A moves with a velocity of v_A=25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}, and kitten B with v_B=-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}. Their positions over time are described by

x_A=\left(25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

x_B=250\,\mathrm m+\left(-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

The collision occurs when the positions are the same, i.e. when x_A=x_B. Solving this gives

\left(25\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t=250\,\mathrm m+\left(-12\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t

\implies\left(37\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t=250\,\mathrm m

\implies t=\dfrac{250\,\mathrm m}{37\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}=6.76\,\mathrm s

Which results in approximately 6.8 seconds, considering significant figures.

Two horizontal forces are exerted on a large crate. The first force is 317 N to the right. The second force is 173 N to the left
Maru [3345]

Answer:

A. Reference the figure.

B. The resultant force acting on the crate is

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2 = 317 - 173 = 144N

C. Initially, we should determine the acceleration of the crate using this kinematics equation:

v = v_0 + at\\6.5 = 0 + 5a\\a = 1.3 m/s^2

The crate's mass can be derived through Newton’s Second Law:

F = Ma\\M = F/a = 144/1.3 = 110.7 kg

Spring A has a spring constant of 100 N/m and spring B has a spring constant of 200 N/m, and both have the same displacement of
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

The spring constant for spring A is k_A=100\ N/m.

The spring constant for spring B is k_B=200\ N/m.

If both springs undergo a displacement of x=0.2\ m.

The formula for potential energy stored in a spring is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2,

where k stands for the spring constant

and x denotes the amount of compression or extension.

U_A=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times (0.2)^2----1

U_B=\frac{1}{2}\times 200\times (0.2)^2----2.

Taking the ratio of equations one and two,

\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{200}{100}=2

U_A=\frac{U_B}{2}.

This indicates that the potential energy in spring A amounts to half that of spring B.
