A truck with a mass of 1750 kg and moving with a speed of 14.5 m/s rear-ends a 772 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. (a) Calculate the initial momentum of the truck (in kg m/s). kg m/s (b) Calculate the final velocities (in m/s) for the truck and the car. vtf

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

If angle "a" is 25°, angle "b" is: a) equal to angle c b) less than angle c c) greater than angle c

Six pendulums of mass mand length las shown are released from rest at the same angle theta from vertical. rank the pendulums according to the numberof complete cycles of motion each pendulum goes through perminute. a. l= 1m m=2kg b. l= 4m m=1 kg c. l= 2 m m= 2 kg d. l= 1 m m= 4 kg e. l= 2 m m = 4 kg f. l= 4m m = 4kg
