You are a traffic accident investigator. You have arrived at the scene of an accident. Two trucks of equal mass (3,000 kg each)

were involved in a rear-end accident at a stop sign. Here is what you know:
- Truck 1 started from rest at the top of a 22-meter hill and coasted toward the intersection.
- Truck 2 was on a flat stretch of road at the bottom of the hill directly in front of Truck 1.
- At the bottom of the hill, Truck 1 was going 20 m/s; Truck 2 was going 35 m/s.
-There were no skid marks left by Truck 2. The collision occurred at the stop sign where Truck 2 had stopped.
- After the collision, both trucks moved together in the same direction at 10 m/s before slowly rolling to a stop.

1. What was the kinetic energy of each truck before they began braking?

2(a). How much energy did Truck 1 lose from the top to the bottom of the hill?

(b) Where do you suppose that energy went?

Answer:

1) Kinetic energy of the truck 1 is 600,000 joules.

Kinetic energy of the truck 2 is 1,837,500 joules.

2 a)Potential energy of truck 1 is 646,800 Joules.

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the truck 1 and truck 2,m = 3000 kg

Velocity of the truck 1, v_1 = = 20 m./s

Velocity of the truck 2,v_2 = 35 m./s

1. Kinetic energy of the truck 1:\frac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (20 m/s)^=600,000 joules

Kinetic energy of the truck 2:\frac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 3000 kg\times (35 m/s)^=1,837,500 joules

2.a) Energy loose by the truck 1:

Initial height of the truck on the hill = 22 m

At that height potential energy will be maximum:

Potential energy of truck 1 at that height = mgh=3000\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 22 m=646,800 Joules

b) Energy lose by the truck 1 just got converted into heat and sound energy during the collision.

Two rectangles, A and B are in proportion in ihe ratio 3 : 5. If the area of Rectangle B is 80 cm?, find the area of Rectangle A
butalik [34]

Answer:

the area of rectangle A is 133.33 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let us suppose area of rectangle A be x....hence we get ,

3:5=80/x

or,3/5=80/x

or,3x=80*5

or,x=400/3

x=133.3.3

Dianne measured the thickness of 1000 sheets of paper as 264mm. How thick is the sheet? Please hurry anyone!!!!!
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

0.264 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sheets = 1000

Thickness of entire sheet = 264 mm

The thickness of the sheet is :

Thickness of entire sheet / number of sheets

264 mm / 1000

= 0.264 mm

Use the function below to find F(1).<br> F(t) = 2•1/2^3t
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

D) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first lets figure out what this variable is. We know we must multiply by t. Well, looking at it, we know that t is one. So lets plug that in.

2*1/2^3(1)

Now we need to figure out what the exponent is that 2 will be raised to. To find that, find out what 3 times one is.

2*1/2^3

Now we need to solve the exponent.

2*1/8

Remember, 2 cubed is eight.

Now we need to find out what 2*1/8 is. To solve this more easily, I am going to turn two into a fraction. This will give us 2/1*1/8. Now we cross multiply, multiplying the numerators by the numerators, and the denominators by the denominators. Remember, the numerator is the top number, and the denominator is the bottom number.

If we do that, we get:

2/8

If we simplify it, we get 1/4. So the asnwer is D) 1/4
