The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. when both cars increase their speed by 9.0 m/s, they then have the same kinetic energy. what were the original speeds of the two cars? express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma?

Speed of the car 1 = V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 = V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

$KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2$

$2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2$

4V_1^2= V_2^2

2V_1= V_2 .................(1)

also,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2$

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

$\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)$

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

$V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s$

Hence,

Speed of car 1 = V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 = V_2=17.96m/s

The original speeds of the two cars were :

$6.36\frac{m}{s},12.72\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Let's start reading the question and making our equations in order to find the speeds.

The first equation is :

$m_{1}=2m_{2}$ (I)

The kinectic energy can be calculated using the following equation :

$K=(\frac{1}{2}).m.v^{2}$ (II)

Where ''K'' is the kinetic energy

Where ''m'' is the mass and where ''v'' is the speed.

By reading the exercise we find that :

$K_{1}=\frac{K_{2}}{2}$ (III)

If we use (II) in (III) :

$(\frac{1}{2}).m_{1}.v_{1}^{2}=(\frac{1}{2}).m_{2}.v_{2}^{2}.(\frac{1}{2})$

$m_{1}.v_{1}^{2}=\frac{m_{2}.v_{2}^{2}}{2}$ (IV)

If we replace (I) in (IV) ⇒

$2.m_{2}.v_{1}^{2}=\frac{m_{2}.v_{2}^{2}}{2}$

$4.v_{1}^{2}=v_{2}^{2}$

$2.v_{1}=v_{2}$ (V)

'' When both cars increase their speed by $9.0\frac{m}{s}$ , they then have the same kinetic energy ''

The last equation is :

$(\frac{1}{2}).m_{1}.(v_{1}+9)^{2}=(\frac{1}{2}).m_{2}.(v_{2}+9)^{2}$ (VI)

If we use (I) in (VI) ⇒

$2.m_{2}.(v_{1}+9)^{2}=m_{2}.(v_{2}+9)^{2}$

$2.(v_{1}+9)^{2}=(v_{2}+9)^{2}$

If we use (V) in this last expression ⇒

$2.(v_{1}+9)^{2}=(2.v_{1}+9)^{2}$

$2.(v_{1}^{2}+18v_{1}+81)=4v_{1}^{2}+36v_{1}+81$

$2v_{1}^{2}+36v_{1}+162=4v_{1}^{2}+36v_{1}+81$

$2v_{1}^{2}=81$

$v_{1}^{2}=40.5$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{40.5}=6.36$

We find that the original speed $v_{1}$ is $6.36\frac{m}{s}$

If we replace this value in the equation (V) ⇒

$2.(6.36\frac{m}{s})=v_{2}$

$v_{2}=12.72\frac{m}{s}$

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account. she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem. she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem. her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d. if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it. the amount she has in her account is not the problem. and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her. it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now. under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b. he can ask for the grace period to be extended. but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options. he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c. he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d. he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card. he should also pay as much more as he possibly can. he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices. what he has to do: pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.
