Explanation:
Bumper cars are a great place to see Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion in action. Here’s how:
Newton’s First Law: Every object in motion continues in motion and every object at rest continues to be at rest unless an outside force acts upon it.
This is because all objects have inertia – the property of matter that resists changes to the object’s motion.
Newton found that if a ball is sitting on a table, it will stay sitting there because that is what it ‘wants’ to do.
If the ball is set in motion, it will keep traveling in a straight path because, again, that is what it ‘wants’ to do.
An object in motion will not stop, slow down, or change its direction unless an outside force acts on it (such as gravity, friction, and air resistance).
When you are riding in a bumper car and end up in a collision with another bumper car, you feel a jolt. This is because your body’s inertia wants it to keep traveling in the direction it was moving with the car even though your bumper car has now suddenly stopped.
Newton’s Second Law: The greater the mass of an object, the harder it is to change its speed.
(More force is needed to move it.)
You already know this law and practice it in your everyday life. Something that is small, such as a pebble, is much easier to pick up and throw than something that is large and heavy, such as a boulder.
When riding in the bumper cars, you may have noticed that people who weigh less tend to get pushed around more than people who weigh more.
The more mass (weight) an object has, the more force it takes to move it.
And since all the bumper cars usually have the same top velocity, the cars carrying more mass will never travel as far as the cars carrying less mass after a collision.
Newton’s Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If two bumper cars traveling at the same speed and carrying the same amount of weight run into each other, they will bounce off and move an equal distance away from each other.
And based on the second law, if there is a difference in the amount of weight being carried in the two cars, the car with less weight will travel farther away from the point of impact than the car carrying more weight.

The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the building can cause windows to pop out. This happened with the original design of the John Hancock Building in Boston.
(a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m X 1.50 m. Assume the density of air to be constant at 1.20 kg/m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the window pane?
(b) What force is experienced by the window pane from air if the airspeed outside is now 22.4m/s The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the building can cause windows to pop out. This happened with the original design of the John Hancock Building in Boston.
Answer:
a. 451.58 N b. 1806.34 N
Explanation:
(a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m X 1.50 m. Assume the density of air to be constant at 1.20 kg/m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the window pane?
Using Bernoulli's equation
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂² + ρgh₂ where P₁ = pressure of air in building = atmospheric pressure = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m², ρ = density of air = 1.20 kg/m³, v₁ = speed of air in building = 0 m/s(since it is still), h₁ = h₂ = h = height of building, P₂ = pressure on the outside of window pane, v₂ = speed of air outside window pane = 11.2m/s and g = acceleration due to gravity
So, since h₁ = h₂ = h
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² + ρgh = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂² + ρgh
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
Also, v₁ = 0m/s
So, P₁ + 1/2ρ(0 m/s)² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ + 0 = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ - P₂ = 1/2ρv₂²
So the net pressure on the window is ΔP = P₁ - P₂ = FA where F is the total force on the window pane and A is the area of the window pane = 4.00 m × 1.50 m = 6.00 m²
So, P₁ - P₂ = 1/2ρv₂²
ΔP = 1/2ρv₂²
F/A = 1/2ρv₂²
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³× 6.00 m² × (11.2 m/s)²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³ × 6.00 m² × 125.44 m²/s²
F = 451.584 N
F ≅ 451.58 N
(b) What force is experienced by the window pane from air if the airspeed outside is now 22.4m/s
When v₂ = 22.4 m/s, F is
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³× 6.00 m² × (22.4 m/s)²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³ × 6.00 m² × 501.76 m²/s²
F = 1806.336 N
F ≅ 1806.34 N

Explanation:
A disk with mass 1.64 kg and radius 0.61 meters is spinning counter-clockwise with an angular velocity of 17.6 rad/s. A rod of mass 1.51 kg and length 1.79 meters spinning clockwise with an angular velocity of 5.12 rad/s is dropped on the spinning disk and stuck to it (the centers of the disk and the rod coincide). The combined system continues to spin with a common final angular velocity. Calculate the magnitude of the loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision
Answer:
The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is 36.585 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the disk, m₁ = 1.64 kg
radius of the disk, r = 0. 61 m
angular velocity of the disk, ω₁ = 17.6 rad/s
mass of the rod, m₂ = 1.51 kg
length of the rod, L = 1.79 m
angular velocity of the rod, ω₂ = 5.12 rad/s (clock-wise)
let the counter-clockwise be the positive direction
let the clock-wise be the negative direction
The common final velocity of the two systems after the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of angular momentum ;
m₁ω₁ + m₂ω₂ = ωf(m₁ + m₂)
where;
ωf is the common final angular velocity
1.64 x 17.6 + 1.51(-5.12) = ωf(1.64 + 1.51)
21.1328 = ωf(3.15)
ωf = 21.1328 / 3.15
ωf = 6.709 rad/s
The moment of inertia of the disk is calculated as follows;
[tex]I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} mr^2\\\\I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} (1.64)(0.61)^2\\\\I_{disk} = 0.305 \ kgm^2[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the rod about its center is calculated as follows;
[tex]I_{rod} = \frac{1}{12} mL^2\\\\I_{rod} = \frac{1}{12} \times 1.51 \times 1.79^2\\\\I _{rod }= 0.4032\ kgm^2[/tex]
The initial rotational kinetic energy of the disk and rod;
[tex]K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} I_{disk}\omega _1 ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} I_{rod}\omega _2 ^2 \\\\K.E_i= \frac{1}{2} (0.305)(17.6) ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} (0.4032)(-5.12) ^2\\\\K.E_i = 52.523 \ J[/tex]
The final rotational kinetic energy of the disk-rod system is calculated as follows;
[tex]K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} I_{disk}\omega _f ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} I_{rod}\omega _f ^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \omega _f ^2(I_{disk} + I_{rod})\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (6.709) ^2(0.305+ 0.4032)\\\\K.E_f = 15.938 \ J[/tex]
The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is calculated as follows;
[tex]\Delta K.E = K.E_f \ - \ K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E = 15.938 J \ - \ 52.523 J\\\\\Delta K.E = - 36.585 \ J[/tex]
Therefore, the loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is 36.585 J.

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.26 years. If 50 g are left after 15.8 years, how many
grams were in the original sample?
Answer:
400 g
Explanation:
The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:
Given that
half-life = 5.26 years
total time of decay = 15.8 years
final amount = 50.0 g
Now based on the above information
number of half-lives past is
= 15.8 ÷ 5.26
= 3 half-lives
Now
3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g
So, the number of grams would be
= 50.0 g × 8
= 400 g

Albert and Emmy are looking to purchase some new spaceships. They pick out two identical single-seat space racers and take them out to space for a test drive. After flying around for a while, they decide to do some experiments. As Albert flies past Emmy at a very high but constant velocity, Emmy measures the length of Albert's ship and compares it to the length of her own ship.
Emmy observes that Albert's ship is __________ her own ship.
At the same time, Albert observes Emmy's ship and compares it with his ship.
Albert observes that Emmy's ship is ___________ his own ship.
Answer:
shorter than,
shorter than
1) option B. Emmy observes that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship.
2) option B. Albert observes that Emmy's ship is shorter than her own ship
Explanation:
Applying the principle of length contraction where the length of a moving object is seen as being contracted (shorter than its real length),the length of the object in the rest frame does not appear to change.
In this case, the space racer in his own ship measures a reduced length of the other ship flying past it at a high but constant speed. Moreover, the space racer in a ship measures the real length of his own ship and not a contracted length.
Therefore, Emmy will observe that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship while Albert will also observe that Emmy's ship is shorter than his own ship. It is the principle of length contraction that holds
A pendulum consists of a 2.0-kg block hanging on a 1.5-m length string. A 10-g bullet moving with a horizontal velocity of 900 m/s strikes, passes through, and emerges from the block (initially at rest) with a horizontal velocity of 300 m/s. To what maximum height above its initial position will the block swing
Answer:
The maximum height above its initial position is:
[tex]h_{max}=1.53\: m[/tex]
Explanation:
Using momentum conservation:
[tex]m_{b}v_{ib}=m_{B}v_{fB}+m_{b}v_{fb}[/tex] (1)
Where:
m(b) is the mass of the bulletm(B) is the mass of the blockv(ib) is the initial velocity of the bulletv(fb) is the final velocity of the bulletv(fB) is the final velocity of the blockLet's find v(fb) using equation (1)
[tex]m_{b}(v_{ib}-v_{fb})=m_{B}v_{fB}[/tex]
[tex]v_{fB}=\frac{m_{b}(v_{ib}-v_{fb})}{m_{B}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{fB}=\frac{0.1(900-300)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]v_{fB}=30\: m/s[/tex]
We need to find the maximum height, it means that all kinetic energy converts into gravitational potential energy.
[tex]\frac{1}{2}m_{B}v_{fB}=m_{B}gh_{max}[/tex]
[tex]h_{max}=\frac{1}{2g}v_{fB}[/tex]

Where:
m(b) is the mass of the bullet
m(B) is the mass of the block
v(ib) is the initial velocity of the bullet
v(fb) is the final velocity of the bullet
v(fB) is the final velocity of the block
Now for finding the value of final velocity VfB
[tex]m_b(v_{1b}-v_{fb})=m_Bv_{fB}[/tex]
[tex]v_{fB}=\dfrac{m_b(v_{1b}-v_{fb})}{m_B}[/tex]
[tex]v_{fB}=\dfrac{0.1(900-{300})}{2}[/tex]

A vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3). What is the angle of the displacement?
4.24
18
45 degrees
90 degrees
Answer:
135degrees
Explanation:
Given that a vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (3,-3)
y component value = -3
x component value = 3
angle of the displacement theta = arctan(y/x)
theta = arctan(-3/3)
theta = arctan (-1)
theta = -45degrees
Since tan is negative in the second quadrant
theta = 180 - 45
theta = 135degrees
Hence the angle of the displacement is 135degrees

It takes a time of 2.70 ss for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.660 mm . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.90 mm apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling ?
d. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave?
Answer:
a) 1.092 m/s
b) 0.33 m
c) 0.25 m
Explanation:
To start with, from the formula of wave, we know that
v = f λ, where
v = velocity of wave
f = frequency of the wave
λ = wavelength of the wave
Again, on another hand, we know that
T = 1/f, where T = period of the wave
From the question, we are given that
t = 2.7 s
d = 0.66 m
λ = 5.9 m
Period, T = 2 * t
Period, T = 2 * 2.7
Period, T = 5.4 s
If T = 1/f, then f = 1/T, thus
Frequency, f = 1/5.4
Frequency, f = 0.185 hz
Remember, v = f λ
v = 0.185 * 5.9
v = 1.092 m/s
Amplitude, A = d/2
Amplitude, A = 0.66/2
Amplitude, A = 0.33 m
If the other distance travelled by the boat is 0.5, then Amplitude is
A = 0.5/2

Answer: The reason why it's not safe for a double decker bus to carry standing passengers is because the center of gravity is raised causing increase in instability of the bus.
Explanation:
A double decker bus is a type of bus that has double decks and usually used by transportation companies for a transport business. Stability is the ability of an object to remain in its state of equilibrium after being distrubed. Stable objects are very difficult to lose balance while unstable object lose their balance easily.
For an object to be stable it must have:
--> a wide base and
--> a low center of gravity.
Therefore when an object has a wide base and a low center of gravity, it is more stable than an object that has a narrow base and a high center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average weight location of an object.
When passengers are left standing on the upper deck of the double decker bus, this INCREASES the center of gravity. This makes the center of gravity of the bus to be outside the base or edge on which it balances. The weight upon having a turning effect will cause the bus to topple and fall which can be dangerous to the lives of the passengers. Therefore it is advisable for passengers to seat while the bus is in motion to help reduce the center of gravity.
