A 2300 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2500 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full power and good tires on good pavement, the maximum forward force on the truck is 18,000 N. What is the maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV?
Answer:
Acceleration a = 3.75 m/s^2
Explanation:
Given that
Mass M1 = mass of the truck = 2300kg
Mass M2 = mass of the SUV = 2500kg
Force applied F = 18000N
From Newton second law,
F = ma
Where a = acceleration
We must consider the entire mass involved in the system. Therefore,
F = (M1 + M2)a
Make a the subject of formula
a = F/(M1 + M2)
Acceleration a = 18000/( 2300 + 2500)
Acceleration a = 18000/ 4800
Acceleration a = 3.75 m/s^2
An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downwards 1.0 s later. They both reach the water 20 m below at the same instant. What was the initial speed of the second object
Answer:
vi = 14.610
Explanation:
initial velocity of the first object (vi) = 0 m/s, because it was dropped
distance (y) = -20 m
initial position (y0) = 0 m
acceleration due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s^2
y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0
-20 = 1/2(-9.8)t^2 + 0 + 0
-20 = -4.9t^2
4.081 = t^2
+√4.081 = t
t = 2.020
time of second object = 2.020 - 1 = 1.020
Now we can plug in the new time to solve for vi of the second object.
y = 1/2 gt^2 + vi*t + y0
-20 = 1/2(-9.8)1.020^2 + vi*1.020 + 0
-20 = -5.098 + 1.020vi
14.902 = 1.020vi
vi = 14.610 m/s
(a) At an air show a jet flies directly toward the stands at a speed of 1220 km/h, emitting a frequency of 3270 Hz, on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. What frequency (in Hz) is received by the observers?
Answer:
f' = 358442.3 Hz
Explanation:
This is a problem about the Doppler's effect. To find the perceived frequency of the observers you use the following formula:
[tex]f'=f(\frac{v}{v\pm v_s})[/tex]
v: speed of sound = 342 m/s
vs : speed of the source (jet) = 1220 km/h (1h/3600s)*(1000 m/ 1km) = 338.88 m/s (it is convenient to convert the units of vs to m/s)
f: frequency emitted by the source = 3270 Hz
f': perceived frequency
Due to the jet is getting closer to the observers, the sing of the denominator in equation (1) is minus (-). Then, you replace the values of f, vs and v:
[tex]f'=(3270s^{-1})(\frac{342m/s}{342m/s-338.88m/s})=358442.3 Hz[/tex]
Hence, the perceived frequency by the observers is 358442.3 Hz
Answer:
[tex]f_o=359466.42Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
You can solve this problem using doppler effect formula. The Doppler effect is the phenomenon by which the frequency of the waves perceived by an observer varies when the emitting focus or the observer itself moves relative to each other
Doppler effect general case is given by:
[tex]f_o=f\frac{v\pm v_o}{v \mp v_s} \\\\Where:\\\\f=Actual\hspace{3}frequency\\f_o=Observed\hspace{3}frequency\\v=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}sound\hspace{3}waves\\v_o=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer\\v_s=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source[/tex]
Now, you can use the following facts:
[tex]+v_o[/tex] Is used when the observer moves towards the source
[tex]-v_o[/tex] Is used when the observer moves away from the source
[tex]-v_s[/tex] Is used when the source moves towards the observer
[tex]+v_s[/tex] Is used when the source moves away from the observer
Since the source is alone in motion towards the observer, the formula is given by:
[tex]f_o=f\frac{v}{v-v_s} \\\\Where:\\\\v_s=1220km/h\approx 338.8888889m/s\\v=342m/s\\f=3270Hz[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]f_o=(3270) \frac{342}{342-338.8888889} = 359466.42Hz[/tex]
A man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 4 m/s relative to the water. The river has a steady current of 2 m/s relative to the bank. The man's hat falls into the river. Seven minutes later, he notices that his hat is missing and immediately turns the canoe around, paddling upriver with the same constant speed of 4 m/s relative to the water. How long does it take the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat
Answer:
7 minutes
Explanation:
From the question, the flow of the river applies equally to both the hat and the canoe. The best way to approach this problem is to look at it from a perspective that follows the water, and ignores the bank.
Hence, the water and the hat are stationary, and the man paddles away from the hat and then paddles back.
Now, the hat is at rest and relative to the water and the canoe always travels at a speed of 4 m/s relative to the water.
We are told that it takes 7 minutes for the man to travel away from the hat.
Since he is travelling at a constant speed, it will therefore take same time of 7 minutes for him to return.
So, it will take 7 minutes for the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat.

[tex]= \frac{(115^2)(\sin 30)^2}{2\times 9,8} \\\\= 168.7m[/tex]
Therefore, highest point that the cannon ball reaches is 168.7m
Explanation:
the cannon is fired at an angle 30 o to the horizonatal with a speed of 155 m/s
highest point that the cannon ball reaches?
[tex]H_{max}=\frac{V^2\sin ^2 \theta}{2g}[/tex]
g = 9.8m/s2

An unstable particle is created in the upper atmosphere from a cosmic ray and travels straight down toward the surface of the earth with a speed of 0.99537 c relative to the earth. A scientist at rest on the earth's surface measures that the particle is created at an altitude of 40.0 km .
As measured by the scientist, how much time does it take the particle to travel the 40.0 km to the surface of the earth?
Answer:
Explanation:
Velocity relative to earth = .99537 c
= .99537 x 3 x 10⁸ m /s
= 2.98611 x 10⁸ m /s
distance relative to earth = 40 km = 40 x 10³ m .
Time measured by scientist
= 40 x 10³ / 2.98611 x 10⁸
= 13.395 x 10⁻⁵ s
= 134 μs.

Answer:
E = 4000 V / m
U = 1.92*10^-18 J
C' = 4.71 pF
1.2 times greater with di-electric
Explanation:
Given:-
- The potential difference between plates, V = 12 V
- The area of each plate, A = 7.6 cm^2
- The separation between plates, d = 0.3 cm
- The charge of the proton. q = 1.6*10^-19 C
- The initial velocity of proton, vi = 0 m/s
Solution:-
- The electric field ( E ) between the parallel plates of the air-filled capacitor is determined from the applied potential difference by the battery on the two ends of the plates.
- The separation ( d ) between the two plates allows the charge to be stored and the Electric field between two charged plates would be:
E = V / d
E = 12 / 0.003
E = 4,000 V/m ... Answer
- The amount of electrostatic potential energy stored between the two plates is ( U ) defined by:
U = q*E*d
U = (1.6 x10^-19)*(4000)*(0.003)
U = 1.92*10^-18 J ... Answer
- The electrostatic energy stored between plates is ( U ) when the proton moves from the positively charges plate to negative charged plate the energy is stored within the proton.
- A slab of di-electric material ( Teflon ) is placed between the two plates with thickness equal to the separation ( d ) and Area similar to the area of the plate ( A ).
- The capacitance of the charged plates would be ( C ):
C = k*ε*A / d
Where,
k: the di-electric constant of material = 2.1
ε: permittivity of free space = 8.85 × 10^-12
- The new capacitance ( C' ) is:
C' = 2.1*(8.85 × 10^-12) *( 7.6 / 100^2 ) / 0.003
C' = 4.71 pF
- The new total energy stored in the capacitor is defined as follows:
U' = 0.5*C'*V^2
U' = 0.5*(4.71*10^-12)*(12)^2
U' = 3.391 * 10^-10 J
- The increase in potential energy stored is by the amount of increase in capacitance due to di-electric material ( Teflon ). The di-electric constant "k" causes an increase in the potential energy stored before and after the insertion.
- Hence, the new potential energy ( U' ) is " k = 2.1 " times the potential energy stored in a capacitor without the di-electric.

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of −18.0 nC−18.0 nC and 38.0 nC38.0 nC , respectively. The total electric flux through the shell is −218 N⋅m2/C−218 N⋅m2/C . What is the charge on the third object?
Answer:
q3 = 21.9 nC
Explanation:
By the Gauss theorem you have that the electric flux in a Gaussian surface is given by:
[tex]\Phi_E=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}[/tex] (1)
ФE: electric flux = -218Nm^2/C
Q: net charge inside the Gaussian surface
εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/(Nm^2)
You can consider the spherical shell as a Gaussian surface. Then, the net charge inside the surface is:
[tex]Q=-18.0nC+38.0nC+q_3[/tex] (2)
where charge q3 is unknown charge of the third object:
You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for q3:
[tex]\epsilon_0 \Phi_E=-18.0*10^{-9}C+38.0*10^{-9}C+q_3\\\\\epsilon_0 \Phi_E=20*10^{-9}C+q_3\\\\q_3=(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/(Nm^2))(-218Nm^2/C)-20*10^{-9}C\\\\q_3=2.19*10^{-9}C=21.9nC[/tex]
hence, the charge of the third object is 21.9 nC

heavy rain. Which natural hazard is happening?
O
o
O
O
a thunderstorm
a hurricane
a tropical cyclone
a flood
Answer:
Hurricane
Explanation:
Hurricane can be described as a huge storm that came with a strong and harsh wind. This wind tends to move in a circular motion over warm ocean water that are found in tropical regions.
Hurricane comes with strong winds that move at the rate of over 60 miles per hour, this results in the formation of a heavy rainfall. Hurricanes are also referred to as cyclones depending on where they take place. In places like Florida, which is surrounded by the Atlantic ocean the type of natural hazard that occurs there is known is hurricane.
Hurricane is formed when warm air that emanates from the ocean begins to rise up to a very high temperature, When it comes across a much more cooler air the steam condenses and results in a heavy downpour.
Answer:
Hurricanes
Explanation:
Hurricanes are a form of natural hazard that usually come with very strong rotating winds, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. In meteorology, they are said to have a low pressure center and a close low level circulation

A 30-kg skater moving at 3 m/s overtakes a 35-kg skater moving at 1 m/s in the same direction and collides with her. The two skaters stick together. It’s final speed is 1.9 m/s. How much kinetic energy is lost? Round all your answers to one decimal place.
Answer:
The lost in kinetic energy is [tex]KE_l = 125.5 \ J[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the first skater is [tex]m_1 = 30 \ kg[/tex]
The speed of the first skater is [tex]v_1 = 3 \ m/s[/tex]
The mass of the second skater is [tex]m_2 = 35 \ kg[/tex]
The speed of the second skater is [tex]v_2 = 1 \ m/ s[/tex]
The final speed of both skater are [tex]v_f = 1.9 m/s[/tex]
The initial kinetic energy of both skaters is mathematically represented as
[tex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * 30 * 3^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 35 * 1^2[/tex]
[tex]KE_i = 242.5 \ J[/tex]
The final kinetic energy of both skaters is mathematically represented as
[tex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2} * (m_1 + m_2 ) v_f^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]KE_f = \frac{1}{2} * (30 + 35 ) * 1.9^2[/tex]
[tex]KE_f = 117 \ J[/tex]
The lost in kinetic energy is
[tex]KE_l = 242.5 -117[/tex]
[tex]KE_l = 125.5 \ J[/tex]

A glass rod that has been charged to +12.0 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is +8.0 nC. a) What kind of charged particle was transferred between the rod and the sphere and in which direction? That is, did it move from rod to the sphere or from sphere to the rod? b) How many charged particles were transferred?
Answer:
Explanation:
charge transferred to sphere = 12 - 8 = 4 nC
a )
The positive charge is decreased on glass rod , that means electrons must have entered the glass rod from the sphere which reduces its positive charge.
b )
charge transferred = 4 nC = 4 x 10⁻⁹ C
charge on one electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
No of electrons transferred
= Total charge transferred / charge on one electron
= 4 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹
= 2.5 x 10¹⁰ .
This question involves the concepts of charges and charged particles.
a) "Electrons" were transferred "from the sphere to the rod"
b) "2.5 x 10¹⁰" charged particles were transferred.
a)
Since the charge on the rod decreases by 4 nC. Therefore, negatively charged particles, that is electrons must have moved from the sphere to the rod. Because electrons are the mobile particles that move from one atom to the other.
b)
The number of charged particles transferred can be found using the following formula:
q = ne
where,
q = charge transferred = 4 nC = 4 x 10⁻⁹ C
n = no. of charged particles (electrons) transferred = ?
e = charge on one electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10.0 km race in a time of 27 min , 43.6 s . Suppose "Pre" was at the 7.43 km mark at a time of 25.0 min . If he accelerated for 60 s and then maintained his increased speed for the remainder of the race, calculate his acceleration over the 60 s interval. Assume his instantaneous speed at the 7.43 km mark was the same as his overall average speed up to that time.
Answer:
Acceleration, a = 0.101 m/s²
Explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time.
At the 7.43km mark, total distance = 7.43km or 7430m
Total time = 25 * 60 s = 1500s
Average speed = 7430m/1500s = 4.95m/s
He then covers (10 - 7.43)km = 2.57 km = 2570 m
in t = 27m43.6s - 25min = 2m43.6s = 163.6 s
Then he accelerates for 60 s, and maintains this velocity V, for the remaining (163.6 - 60)s = 103.6 s.
From V = u + at; V = 4.95m/s + a *60s
Distance covered while accelerating is
s = ut + ½at² = 4.95m/s * 60s + ½ a *(60s)² = 297m + a*1800s²
Distance covered while at constant velocity, v after accelerating is
D = velocity * time
Where v = 4.95m/s + a*60s
D = (4.95m/s + a*60s) * 103.6s = 512.82m + a*6216s²
Total distance covered after initial 7.43 km, S + D = 2570 m, so
2570 m = 297m + a*1800s² + 512.82m + a*6216s²
2570 = 809.82 + a*8016
a = 809.82m / 8016s² = 0.101 m/s²
The starship Enterprise approaches the planet Risa at a speed of 0.8c relative to the planet. On the way, it overtakes the intergalactic freighter Astra. The relative speed of the two ships as measured by the navigator on the Enterprise is 0.5c. At what speed is Astra approaching the planet?
Answer:
0.3c
Explanation:
The speed of Enterprise relative to Risa is 0.8c
Relative speed of both ships as measured from Enterprise is 0.5c
therefore, relative speed of Astra to Enterprise is 0.8c - 0.5c = 0.3c
this is also the relative speed with which Astra approaches the planet Risa since Enterprise's speed was calculated relative to Risa.
A 4.25-g bullet traveling horizontally with a velocity of magnitude 375 m/s is fired into a wooden block with mass 1.12 kg, initially at rest on a level frictionless surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 114 m/s. Part A How fast is the block moving just after the bullet emerges from it
Answer:
0.9904 m/s
Explanation:
To solve this problem we need to use the conservation of momentum:
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'
Using this equation, we have:
m_bullet*v_bullet = m_bullet_after*v_bullet_after + m_block*v_block
0.00425 * 375 = 0.00425 * 114 + 1.12 * v_block
1.12 * v_block = 1.5938 - 0.4845
1.12 * v_block = 1.1093
v_block = 1.1093 / 1.12
v_block = 0.9904 m/s
Answer:
0.99 m/s
Explanation:
From the question,
Note: The collision between the bullet the the wooden block is elastic.
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.
mu+Mu' = mv+Mv'................ Equation 1
Where m = mass of the bullet, u = initial velocity of the bullet, M= mass of the wooden block, u' = initial velocity of the wooden block, v = final velocity of the bullet, v' = final velocity of the wooden block
Since, u' = 0 m/s
Therefore,
mu = mv+Mv'
make v' the subject of the equation
v' = (mu-mv)/M.................... Equation 2
Given: m = 4.25 g = 0.00425 kg, u = 375 m/s, M = 1.12 kg, v = 114 m/s.
Substitute into equation 2
v' = [(0.00425×375)-(0.00425×114)]/1.12
v' = (1.59375-0.4845)/1.12
v' = 0.99 m/s
