Two identical trucks have mass 5100 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. the first truck, carryi

ng 4300 kg , is at rest. the second truck plows into it at 60 km/h , and the pair moves away at 42 km/h . part a as an expert witness, youâre asked to determine whether the second truck was overloaded. what do you report?

<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg. The key here is the conservation of momentum. For the first truck, the momentum is 0(5100 + 4300) The second truck has a starting momentum of 60(5100 + x) And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other. 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Getting rid of the zero term 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Distribute the 60 and the 42. 60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x 306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x Subtract 42x from both sides 306000 + 18x = 609000 Subtract 306000 from both sides 18x = 303000 And divide both sides by 18 x = 16833.33 So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums. 60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000 They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>

Can someone help me ASAP

Well I don't know.  Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A,  B,  C,  and D all have the same TOTAL length, but  A  has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in  A  must be shorter than each wave in  B,  C,  or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>.  Looking at the picture did the trick !

Melanie gets out of her car at the park. She walks 25 m to the trail entrance.
zhenek [66]

The reference point that should be used to describe Melanie motion is the pond (option C).

<h3>What is reference point?</h3>

Reference point is a particular point in space which is used as an endpoint to measure a distance from or chart a map from.

According to this question, Melanie gets out of her car at the park and walks 25 m to the trail entrance. She jogs around the trail until she reaches a pond, where she stops briefly.

However, she then continues to follow the trail around the pond. This suggests that the pond should serve as the reference point for Melanie's motion.
