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.

Suppose there is a large amount of (weakly interacting) dark matter between us and a distant galaxy. How will this affect our vi
leonid [27]

Answer:

Dark matter does not affect our view, humans can see through them.

Explanation:

They do not affect our view because we can see right through the (weakly interacting) dark matter, as they do not interact or interfere with electromagnetic force.

Dark matter are often invisible substances and are difficult to spot because they don't absorb or reflect light.

A car drives off a cliff next to a river at a speed of 30 m/s and lands on the bank on theother side. The road above the cliff i
dezoksy [38]

Answer:1.301 s

Explanation:

Given

Initial Velocity(u)=30 m/s

Height of cliff=8.3 m

Time taken to cover 8.3 m

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

here Initial vertical velocity is 0

8.3=\frac{gt^2}{2}

t^2=1.69

t=1.301 s

Horizontal distance

R=u\times t

R=30\times 1.301=39.04 m
