A green truck is moving to the right. A red truck is moving to the left with a speed of 6 m/s. The mass of the red truck is 1,00

0 kg and the mass of the green truck is 3,000 kg. How fast must the green truck be moving such that ,if it collides head-on with the red truck and the two trucks stick together, the final velocity of the two trucks is zero

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of red truck = 1000 kg

m_2 = Mass of green truck= 3000 kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of red truck = 6 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of green truck

v = Velocity with which they move together = 0

For elastic collision

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\frac{1000\times 6}{3000}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-2\ m/s

Velocity of the green truck is 2 m/s

A coin with a diameter 3.00 cm rolls up a 30.0 inclined plane. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 60.0 rad/s
sweet [91]

This question is in complete.The question is

A coin with a diameter 3.00 cm rolls up a 30.0° inclined plane. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 60.0 rad/s and rolls in a straight line without slipping. If the moment of inertia of the coin is(1/2) MR² , how far will the coin roll up the inclined plane (length along the ramp)? Hint: Conservation of mechanical energy.

Answer:

distance=0.124 m

Explanation:

mgh=mglSin\alpha =(1/2)Iw_{i}^{2}+(1/2)mv^{2}\\   v=wR\\Solve for L\\L=((1/2)(1/2)0.015^{2}*60^{2}+(1/2)(60*0.015^{2} ))/9.8Sin30\\   L=0.124m

You have covered a grounded metal surface with a layer of photoconductor. Working in the dark, you sprinkle negative charge onto
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

A. the left half becomes neutral while the right half remains negatively charged

Explanation:

This is because wherever light strikes the photoconductor, it transforms from an insulator into a conductor. The charge will then migrate through it and leaves its surface. By exposing the left half of the photoconductor to light, you allow its local charge to leave and it becomes neutral.

A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain at a speed of 280 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.50 km. (
pychu [463]

Answer:

(a)7.48331 Km

(b) Directly above the tomb

(c) 12.53 degrees

Explanation:

Given that the distance is 3.5 Km, converted to meters we obtain 3500 m

Using the formula

s=0.5gt^{2} where s is the distance and t is time, taking acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 then

3500 = 0.5*9.8*t^{2}

t = 26.72 sec

We know that speed=distance/time hence to get the distance in part (a)

Distance=Speed*time

280 *26.72 = 7483.31 m converted to Km we obtain 7.48331 Km

(b)directly above the bomb

(c) tan \theta = \frac {3500}{7483.31}

\theta = 12.53^{o}
