A car of mass 1535 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is

essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

A collision in physics is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions:

  • Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.
  • Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."

A tiger runs at 58 km/h [S]. What is the displacement of the tiger in 38 s?
Artyom0805 [142]
58 K/h = 58000/3600= 16.1 m/s
In 38 s displacement is 38x16.1= 612.2 m
