A car is driving directly north on the freeway at a speed of 119 km/h and a truck is leaving the freeway driving 87.7 km/h in a

direction that is 35° west of north. Assume north to be in the +y-direction and east to be in the +x-direction.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car?

The magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h

The direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

<h3>Velocity of the truck relative to the car</h3>

The velocity of the truck relative to the car is the resultant velocity of the vehicles.

The resultant velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

<h3>Vertical component of the velocity</h3>

Vyi = 119 km/h

Vy2 = 87.7 km/h x sin(35) = 50.3 km/h

Vy(total) = 119 km/h + 50.3 km/h = 169.3 km/h

<h3>Horizontal component of the velocity</h3>

Vx = -87.7 x cos(35) = -71.84 km

<h3>Resultant velocity</h3>

v = √Vy² + Vx²

v = √[(169.3²) + (-71.84)²]

v = 183.9 km/h

<h3>Direction of the velocity</h3>

θ = arc tan(Vy/Vx)

θ = arc tan(169.3 / -71.84)

θ = -67 ⁰

θ = 67 ⁰ north of west.

Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 183.9 km/h and the direction of the velocity of the truck relative to the car is 67 ⁰ north of west.

How much force is needed to accelerate a 2500 kg car at a rate of 3.5 m/s^2?
Sati [7]

F = ma  

F = applied force in newtons = to be determined  

m = mass of the car = 2,500 kg  

a = acceleration of the car = 3.5 m/s²  

F = (2,500 kg)(3.5 m/s²)  

F =8750

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
