A 7500 kg truck traveling at 5.0 m/s east collides with a 1500 kg car moving

Since the collision is inelastic, both vehicle will move with a common velocity of 2.5 m/s in south east direction after collision.

<h3>Conservation of Linear Momentum</h3>

It states that, the sum of the momentum before collision is equal to the sum of the momentum after collision.

Given that a 7500 kg truck traveling at 5.0 m/s east collides with a 1500 kg car moving at 20 m/s in a direction 30° south of west. After collision, the two vehicles remain tangled together.

The given parameters are;

  • M1 = 7500 kg
  • U1 = 5 m/s
  • M2 = 1500
  • U2 = 20 sin 30 = 10 m/s
  • V = ?

The formula to find the speed will be

M1U1 - M2U2 = (M1 + M2)V

7500 × 5 - 1500 × 10 = (7500 + 1500)V

37500 - 15000 = 9000V

22500 = 9000V

V = 22500/9000

V = 2.5 m/s

Therefore, the common speed will be 2.5 m/s and the direction of the car will be toward the south east.

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do
Flauer [41]
<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

<em><u>Find the work done:</u></em>

work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule

<em><u>Find the time taken</u></em>

power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

Likurg_2 [28]
Hey there!

The answer is : 
The <span>humidity you feel in the southern states of the U.S. is water vapor 
water vapor is between a gas and liquid so that is what gives a humid feel in the hot sun

Hopes this helps u :D

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimet
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

"Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property."

Use this equation:

mcΔT = ( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT'

Rearranging the equation to find the specific heat (c) you get this:

c = (( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT') / (mΔT)

c = (( 0.285 (4186) + (0.15)(900)) (32 -25.1)) / ((0.125) (95 - 32))

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C
