a railway truck of mass 8000 kg travels along a level track at a velocity of 2.5 m s–1 and collides with a stationary truck of m

ass 12 000 kg. the collision takes 4.0 s and the two trucks move together at the same velocity after the collision. what is the average force that acts on the 8000 kg truck during the collision?

The average force that acts on the 8000 kg truck during the collision is 12000kgm/s.

Impulse is the change in momentum of the body.

Mass, M = 8000kg

Time, t = 4s

Mass, m = 12000kg

Velocity, V = 2.5m/s

Let the Final velocity be v.

Using conservation of momentum to find out the final velocity of the truck,

MV = (M+m)v

8000×2.5 = (8000+12000)×v

v = 1m/s

Now the Initial momentum is MV = 8000×2.5 = 20000kgm/s

Final Momentum is Mv = 8000×1 = 8000kgm/s

Change in Momentum = 20000 - 8000

Change is Momentum = 12000kgm/s

Change is momentum is equal to the average force that acts on the truck from the Newton law of motion.

Hence, the average force that acts on the 8000 kg truck during the collision is 12000kgm/s.

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s   x    6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s

In Thomson’s experiment, why was the glowing beam repelled by a negatively charged plate?
Svetllana [295]

The glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged

<h3>What are the nature of charges?</h3>

The nature of charges refers to the properties of charges.

There are two types of charges:

  • negative charges
  • positive charges

The law of electricity states that opposite charges attract whereas like charges repel.

Therefor, in Thomson’s experiment, the glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged

In conclusion, like charges repel while opposite charges attract.

(b) A car of mass 3000 kg travels at a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

16.7 s

Explanation:

T= <u>Vf - Vo</u>          a= <u>F</u>

         a                    m

4,500 / 3000 = 1.5 (a)

30 - 5 / 1.5(a) = 16.7 s
