A 1400 kg car at rest at a stop sign is rear ended by a 1860 kg truck traveling at a speed of 19.1 m/s. After the collision, the

two vehicles are locked together. Alice is moving past the collision site in a frame S' that is traveling at a constant velocity of 6.11 m/s in the direction of travel of the incident truck.
(a) Determine the momentum of the vehicles before the collision in Alice's frame. kg · m/s

(b) Determine the momentum of the vehicles after the collision in Alice's frame. kg · m/s

(c) Does Alice conclude that momentum is conserved during the collision? Yes No cannot be determined

Answer:

Explanation:

Applying conservation of momentum law to system of car and truck

their common velocity = their total momentum before collision / total mass

= (0 + 1860 x 19.1 ) / (1400 + 1860)

= 10.8975  m/s

Velocity of car with respect to ground before the collision u₁ = 0

velocity of the car in the frame of Alice                 u₁ = 0 - 6.11 = - 6.11 m /s

similarly velocity of truck in the frame of Alice = 19.1 - 6.11 = 12.99 m /s

total momentum of system of car and truck in alice's frame

= m₁ u₁ + m₂u₂  , m₁ , m₂ are masses of car and truck and u₁ , u₂ are their velocities in Alice's frame

= 1400 x - 6.11 + 1860 x 12.99

= - 8554 + 24161.4

= 15607.4 kg m/s

velocity of car and truck  after collision in Alice's frame

= 10.8975 - 6.11

= 4.7875

total momentum after collision in Alice's frame

= 4.7875 x ( 1400 + 1860 )

= 15607.25

Total momentum before collision in Alice's frame

= Total momentum in Alice's frame after collision

So law of conservation of momentum is obeyed in Alice's frame also.

what is required to bring about a phase change 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy 3.an in
frozen [14]

Answer

Correct answers are 1.an increase or decrease in pressure 2.an increase or decrease in energy

Explanation

All existing matter can undergo phase change it means they may transform from one state to another. phase change of a matter  may occur due to change in energy and change in pressures.

for example there is an ice cube which is a solid and if  we want to change it phase into liquid water for that purpose we have to supply some energy to ice cube it means we have to give some heat to ice cube. After supplying heat energy to the ice it will turn into water it means there is phase change from solid to liquid due to supplying the heat. Similarly we can change the liquid water into solid ice cube by taking heat energy(reducing temperature) from the liquid water  .

In some cases the matter doesn't want to undergo phase transformation. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure.But , it can change to solid state at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.
