To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

Answer:

39.240 W

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the work done by the engine. We can assume that it is the same work done by the weight of the object to bring it from 40m to the surface: as much energy it takes to bring it up, the same ammount it takes to bring it down. Said work is w= \vec F\cdot \vec{h} = mg h = 1000 \times 9.81\times 40 = 392.400 J

At this point we can simply apply the definition of power, that is P = \frac wt, to get the power of the engine is 39.240 W

You move a 25 N object 5 meters. How much work did you do ?
olga55 [171]
The answer is 125 Joules

The first thing to take note of is the work equation: W=F×D

Since we already have our force and our distance that will help make this problem easier.

So, W=25*5

W=125

Therefore, our answer is 125 Joules since work is measured in joules

Hope this helped!! :)
