A 4350 kg truck, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary car. After the collision, the truck moves 4.55 m/s and the

car moves 11.5 m/s, both in the same direction. What is the mass of the car?

Answer:

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Explanation:

Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.

Let mass of car be m.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s

Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m

We have

19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5

m = 1097.97 kg

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Two piano strings produce beats. Frequencies of the strings are 1560 Hz. and 1563 Hz. Choose the correct frequency of the beats.

kakasveta [241]

Beat frequency is given by the difference of two frequencies played together

$f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2|$

given that

$f_1 = 1560 Hz$

$f_2 = 1563 Hz$

Now

$f_{beat} = |1560- 1563| Hz$

$f_{beat} = 3 Hz$

A transformer connected to a 120-v(rms) at line is to supply 13,000V(rms) for a neon sign.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

(a) 108

(b) 110.500 kW

(c) 920.84 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Voltage at primary, $V_{p} = 120\ V$ (rms voltage)

Voltage at secondary, $V_{s} = 13000\ V$ (rms voltage)

Current in the secondary, $I_{s} = 8.50\ mA$

Now,

(a) The ratio of secondary to primary turns is given by the relation:

$\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}} = \frac{V_{s}}{V_{s}}$

where

$N_{p}$ = No. of turns in primary

$N_{s}$ = No. of turns in secondary

$\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}} = \frac{13000}{120}$ ≈ 108

(b) The power supplied to the line is given by:

Power, P = $V_{s}I_{s} = 13000\times 8.50 = 110.500\ kW$

(c) The current rating that the fuse should have is given by:

$\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}} = \frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}$

$\frac{13000}{120} = \frac{I_{p}}{8.50}$

$I_{p} = \frac{13000}{120}\times 8.50 = 920.84\ A$

A small 1.0 kg steel ball rolls west at 3.0 m/s collides with a large 3.0 kg ball at rest. After the collision, the small ball m

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The direction of the momentum of the large ball after the collision with respect to east is 146.58°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of large ball = 3.0 kg

Mass of steel ball = 1.0 kg

Velocity = 3.0 kg

After collision,

Velocity = 2.0 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$3.0\times0+1.0\times(3.0)(-i)=1.0\times2(-j)+3.0\times v_{2}$

$-3i+2j=3.0\times v_{2}$

$v_{2}=-i+0.66j$

The direction of the momentum

$tan\theta=\dfrac{0.66}{-1}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{0.66}{-1}$

$\theta=-33.42^{\circ}$

The direction of the momentum with respect to east

$\theta=180-33.42=146.58^{\circ}$

Hence, The direction of the momentum of the large ball after the collision with respect to east is 146.58°.
