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

Car A starts out traveling at 35.0 km/h and accelerates at 25.0 km/h2 for 15.0 min. Car B starts out traveling at 45.0 km/h and
lawyer [7]

1 kilometre=1000 metre

      1 hour = 3600 second

       1\ km/hr=\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

       1\ km/hr=\frac{5}{18} m/s

The initial velocity of car A is 35.0 km/hr i.e

                                         35.0\ km/hr=35*\frac{5}{18} m/s

                                                                   = 9.72 m/s

The initial velocity of car B is 45 km/hr =12.5 m/s

The initial velocity of car C is 32 km/hr = 8.89 m/s

The initial velocity of car D is 110 km/hr=30.56 m/s

The acceleration of car A is given as  25\ km/hr^2

                                            =\ 25*\frac{1000}{3600*3600} m/s^2

                                            =0.00192901234 m/s^2

The time taken by car A = 15 min.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

                                 v= u+at      [Here v is the final velocity and a is the acceleration and t is the time]

Final velocity of A,  v = 9.72 m/s +[0.00192901234×15×60]m/s

                                   =11.456111106 m/s

The acceleration of B is given as    15\ km/hr^2

                                    =0.00115740740740 m/s^2

The time taken by car B =20 min

The final velocity of B is -

                             v= u+at

                               = u-at    [Here a is negative due to deceleration]

                               =12.5 m/s +[0.0011574074074×20×60]

                               =13.8888888.....

                               =13.9

The acceleration of C is given as    40\ km/hr^2          

                                                            =\ 0.003086419753 m/s^2

The time taken by car C =30 min

The final velocity of C is-

                                v = u+at

                                   =8.89 m/s+[0.003086419753×30×60] m/s

                                   =14.4455555555..m/s

                                   =14.45 m/s

The car C is decelerating.The deceleration is given as-  60\ km/hr^2

                                                                      =0.0046296296296m/s^2

The time taken by car D= 45 min.

The final velocity of the car D is-

                     v =u+at

                        =30.56 -[0.00462962962962×45×60]m/s

                        =18.06 m/s

Hence from above we see that the magnitude of final velocity car C and B is close to 15 m/s. The car C is very close as compared to car B.

Given that:<br><br> = 2i + 9j ; and ⃗ = -i – 4j . Find . ⃗ ​
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A.B = -38

Explanation:

A = 2i + 9j and B = -i - 4j.

So, A.B = (2i + 9j).(-i - 4j)

= 2i.(-i) + 2i.(-4j) + 9j.(-i) + 9j.(-4j)

= -2i.i - 8i.j - 9j.i - 36j.j

since i.i = 1, j.j = 1, i.j = 0 and j.i = 0, we have

A.B = -2(1) - 8(0) - 9(0) - 36(1)

A.B = -2 - 0 - 0 - 36

A.B = -38
