The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.

Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.

p=p'

pa+pb = pa'+pb'

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

  • ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
  • mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
  • va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
  • va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
  • vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
  • p = momentum before collision (Ns)
  • p' = momentum after collision (Ns)

(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')

(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)

(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800

(1,783×va) = 27,064

va \:=\: \frac{27,064}{1.783}

va = 15.18 m/s

A helicopter is ascending vertically. a passenger accidentally drops her wallet out the sides of the helicopter when it is 160 m
Advocard [28]

Answer:

(E)56.0 m/s

Explanation:

Height =h=-160 m

Because the wallet moving in downward direction

Time=t=7 s

Final speed of wallet=v=0

We have to find the speed of helicopter ascending  at the moment when the passenger let go of the wallet.

v^2-u^2=2gh

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Substitute the values

0-u^2=2(-160)\times 9.8

u^2=3136

u=\sqrt{3136}=56m/s

Option (E) is true

what is the average speed of (a) a car that travels 400m in 20s. and (b) an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes​
zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 20 m/s

b) 37.5 m)s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance ÷ total time

=> (a) average speed of a car that travels 400m in 20s

= 400/20 = 20 m/s

& (b) average speed of an athlete who runs 1500m in 4 minutes (or 4×60=240 seconds)

= 1500/240 = 37.5 m/s

What is the average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8
Alex

Answer:

The average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8.0 s is 24 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Velocity ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it. Then, the average velocity relates the change in position to the time taken to effect that change.

velocity=\frac{displacement}{time}

Velocity considers the direction in which an object moves, so it is considered a vector magnitude.

In this case, the displacement is 192 m and the time period is 8 s. Replacing:

velocity=\frac{192 m}{8 s}

Solving:

velocity= 24 \frac{m}{s}

<em><u>The average velocity of a train moving along a straight track if its displacement is 192 m was during a time period of 8.0 s is 24 </u></em>\frac{m}{s}<em><u>.</u></em>

What is the average speed of an object with a total distance traveled of 45 meters in 50 seconds
Anettt [7]

Answer: 0.9m/s

Explanation:

Use equation for speed:

V=S/t

S-distance; S=45m

t-time; t=50 s

V=S/t

V=45m/50s

V=0.9 m/s
