Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 1900 kg , is going from west to east, while car B , of mass 1500 kg , is going from north to south at 12 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 65 ∘ south of east from the point of impact. Part A Part complete How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision? Express your answer using two significant figures. v = 5.8 m/s Previous Answers Correct Part B How fast was car A going just before the collision? Express your answer using two significant figures. How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision and how fast was car A going just before the collision?

a) Write down the state equation of an ideal gas. This equation can be utilized to derive any one of the macroscopic thermodynamic properties, p1, T1, or V1, of an ideal gas in state “1” when the other two properties and the gas’ conditions at some initial state “0” are known.

b) What is the ideal gas law? Express the law separately in terms of the amount of substance, the gas’ molar mass, the gas’ molar volume, and the gas’ number of particles (4 equations!).

c) When we divide the universal gas constant by Avogadro’s constant we obtain a new constant. What is this constant’s name? Derive its value and proper unit.

d) State Newton’s Law of Cooling and name all properties in the corresponding equation.

e) For most thermodynamic problems we use some standard definitions for pressure and temperature to which we relate our calculations. A popular choice is a standard air pressure of 1atm = 101325Pa at sea level and a temperature of T = 288.15K (or ϑ = 25°C), BUT there are many other standards in use! What is the barometric elevation equation which allows you to approximate the air pressure at an arbitrary height (idealized!)?

A spherical cannonball of mass 2M is launched with an initial velocity v0 at an angle of 45° above the horizontal. There is an explosive charge between the two halves of the cannonball which is detonated when the cannonball has reached the highest point of its trajectory. One half of the cannonball (mass M) is propelled backwards exactly along the original trajectory and lands back in the cannon (good trick!). Ignore air resistance for this problem.

a) Assuming level terrain, find the range of the center of mass of the system, i.e., how far away from the cannon does the center of mass of the system land?

b) Find the velocity of the second half of the cannonball (the one that doesn't land back in the cannon) immediately after the explosion.

c) How far away from the cannon does the second half of the cannonball land?

6. [2pt]
In the lab Springs, a student sits on a bosun's chair suspended by a spring. If the spring
has a spring constant, k = 1020 N/m, and is stretched by 0.5 m, how
much energy is stored in the spring?

Correct, computer gets: 127.5 J

7. [2pt]
The student gets off the bosun's chair very carelessly and all the energy in the
spring is converted into the kinetic energy of the seat. The mass of the seat is
1 kg. Once the spring has fully contracted, what is the speed of the seat?

Answer:  

8. [2pt]
Unfortunately, the student was hit on the head by the seat as it flew up. Some of the kinetic energy of the seat will be converted into
gravitational potential energy; neglect this. Assume the impact speed of
the seat is the same as in the previous question. If the seat comes to rest in 0.01 s as
it hits the student's head, what force would the seat exert on the student's
head?

Be safe. Remember: get off the bosun's chair carefully!
