A car of mass 1500 kg travels due East with a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. Eventually it turns right, and travels due South with

a constant speed of 15 m/s. By making the turn, and reducing its speed, the car’s linear momentum changed. What was the direction of the car’s change in linear momentum? Give a numerical answer that is an angle, with a qualifier such as North-of-East, or West-of-North, etc

Answer:

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass of a body and its velocity

Momentum = mass × velocity

Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

∆P = m∆v

∆P = m(v-u)

Given m = 1500kg

v = 25m/s

u = 15m/s

∆P = 1500(25-15)

∆P = 1500×10

∆P = 15,000kgm/s

Since the car first travels due East i.e +x direction

x = 25m/s

Travelling due south is negative y direction

y = -15m/s

Direction of the car change

θ = tan^-1(y/x)

θ = tan^-1(-15/25)

θ = tan^-1(-0.6)

θ = -30.96°

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

θ = 180-30.96

θ = 149.04°

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Why is it warmer near the equator than near the poles?

maw [93]

The equator is warmer than the poles because the equator is closer to the sun. In other words, the sun is overhead the equator, which is a result of the Earth's curvature.

How does the work required to accelerate a particle from 10 m/s to 20 m/s compare to that required to accelerate it from 20 m/s

poizon [28]

To solve this problem we will apply the energy conservation theorem for which the work applied on a body must be equivalent to the kinetic energy of this (or vice versa) therefore

$W = \Delta KE$

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2$

Here,

m = mass

$v_{f,i}$ = Velocity (Final and initial)

First case) When the particle goes from 10m/s to 20m/s

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2$

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(10)^2$

$W_1 = 150(m) J$

Second case) When the particle goes from 20m/s to 30m/s

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2$

$\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(30)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2$

$W_1 = 250(m) J$

As the mass of the particle is the same, we conclude that more energy is required in the second case than in the first, therefore the correct answer is A.
