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.

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards
Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards

How can I answer question 19? please help me, I need the answer now
Crank
The spring starts out 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it.

Hanging 35 newtons of weight on it stretches the spring 1 meter.

Ellen is going to hang 250 grams of mass on the spring.
What's the weight of 250 grams of mass ?

   Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity in the place where the mass is) .

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
250 grams is 0.25 of a kilogram.

Weight of 250 grams  =  (0.25 kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                 =    (0.25 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                                 =        2.45 newtons .

2.45 newtons of weight is  (2.45 / 35) of 35 newtons,
so it'll stretch the spring  (2.45 / 35) of a meter.

   2.45/35 = 0.07 of a meter  =  7 centimeters.

The spring was 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it,
and the 250-gm weight stretched it 7 cm.
So with the weight hanging on it, it's (22 + 7) = 29 cm long.
