a) The initial speed of the clay is 30 m/s

b) The final velocity of the block increases (40 m/s)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, in absence of external forces (=no friction), the total momentum of the clay + block system is conserved before and after the collision. Therefore, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the clay

$u_1$ is the initial velocity of the clay

$m_2 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the wood block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the wood block (at rest)

$v = 15 m/s$ is the final combined velocity of the clay+block after the collision

Re-arranging the equation, we can find $u_1$ , the speed at which the clay was tossed:

$u_1 = \frac{(m_1+m_2)v-m_2 u_2}{m_1}=\frac{(0.10+0.10)(15)-0}{0.10}=30 m/s$

In this second case, the clay is replaced by a bouncy ball, which rebounds back after the collision, instead of sticking with the block.

In this second case, the law of conservation of momentum becomes:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2$

where

$m_1 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_1 = 30 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$m_2 = 0.10 kg$ is the mass of the wood block

$u_2 = 0$ is the initial velocity of the wood block (at rest)

$v_1 = -10 m/s$ is the velocity of the bouncing ball after the collision (negative because it goes backward)

$v_2$ is the velocity of the block after the collision

Solving for $v_2$ , we find the final velocity of the block:

$v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 - m_1 v_1}{m_2}=\frac{(0.10)(30)-(0.10)(-10)}{0.10}=40 m/s$

As we can see, the final velocity of the block has increased. The reason for that is that, as the ball bounces back, part of the total momentum is "carried away" by the ball in the backward direction, and since the total momentum must remain constant, this means that the momentum carried by the block in the forward direction must be larger than the previous situation.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

ad-work [718]

Answer:

$\theta = 0.0022 rad$

$I = 0.000304 I_o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m$

The distance of the slit separation is $d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m$

Generally the condition for two slit interference is

$dsin \theta = m \lambda$

Where m is the order which is given from the question as m = 2

=> $\theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]$

substituting values

$\theta = 0.0022 rad$

Now on the second question

The distance of separation of the slit is

$d = 0.300 \ mm = 3.0 *10^{-4} \ m$

The intensity at the the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

$I = I_o [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2$

Where $\beta$ is mathematically evaluated as

$\beta = \frac{\pi * d * sin(\theta )}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$\beta = \frac{3.142 * 3*10^{-4} * sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }$

$\beta = 0.06581$

So the intensity is

$I = I_o [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2$

$I = 0.000304 I_o$

A car is up on a hydraulic lift at a garage. The wheels are free to rotate, and the drive wheels are rotating with a constant an

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wheels are rotating with constant angular velocity let say $\omega$

Presence of constant angular velocity show that there is no angular acceleration thus there is no tangential acceleration.

But any particle on the rim will experience a constant acceleration towards center called centripetal acceleration.

(a) yes, there will be tangential velocity which is given by

$v=r\cdot \omega$

where r=radial distance from center

(b)tangential acceleration

there would be no tangential acceleration as velocity is constant

(c)centripetal acceleration

Yes, there will be centripetal acceleration given by

$a_c=\omega ^2\times r$

An insulated pipe carries steam at 300°C. The pipe is made of stainless steel (with k = 15 W/mK), has an inner diameter is 4 cm,

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(i) The rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe is 131.62 W

(ii) The temperature of the outer surface of the insulation is 49.89 °C

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the heat transferred is given by

$Q = \frac{2\pi L(t_{hf} - t_{cf}) }{\frac{1}{h_{hf}r_1}+\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{k_A} + \frac{ln(r_3/r_2)}{k_B} +\frac{1}{h_{cf}r_3}}$

Where

$t_{hf}$ = Temperature at the inside of the pipe = 300 °C

$t_{f}$ = Temperature at the outside of the pipe = 20 °C

r₁ =internal radius of pipe = 4.0 cm

r₂ = Outer radius of pipe = 4.5 cm

r₃ = Outer radius of the insulation = r₂ + 2.5 = 7.0 cm

$k_A$ = 15 W/m·K

$k_B$ = 0.038 W/m·K

$h_{hf}$ = 75 W/m²·K

$h_{cf}$ = 10 W/m²·K

Plugging in the values in the above equation where for a unit length L = 1 m, we have

Q = 131.32 W

From which we have, for the film of air at the pipe outer boundary layer

$Q = \frac{t_A-t_B}{R_T}$ Where $R_T$ for the air film on the pipe outer surface is given by

$R_T= \frac{1}{\alpha A}$

where A =area of the outside of the pipe

= $\frac{1}{10*2\pi*0.07*1 }$ = 0.227 K/W

Therefore

131.32 W = $\frac{t_A-20}{0.227}$ which gives

$t_A$ = 49.89 °C

Heat transferred by radiation = q' = ε×σ×(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

Where ε = 0.9, σ, = 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²·(K⁴)

T₁ = Surface temperature of the pipe = 49.89 °C and

T₂ = Temperature of the surrounding = 20.00 °C

Plugging in the values gives, q' = 0.307 W per m²

Total heat lost per unit length = 131.32 + 0.307 =131.62 W
