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.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Here, he is able both to share his own suffering and—in a way that Mammy cannot—insist on his love for Laila. Babi's dream for leaving Afghanistan is, ironically, based in his love for the country—a love he thinks can be better kept alive by continuing to celebrate its culture and cuisine abroad.JThe nucleus of some isotopes will spontaneously undergo nuclear decay. These isotopes are said to be radioactive. What causes the nucleus of an isotope to be radioactive?

The electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other

Nuclear forces disintegrate protons

There are too many electrons in its orbitals

The electric force causes electrons to be released

(please help i genuinely cant find out why)Babi had wanted Laila and Tariq to understand their country's living, breathing heritage—a heritage quite apart from the violence and turmoil of the national wars. The Buddhas, testimony to an ancient community of monks that lived in caves within the cliffs, symbolize the cultural richness of this national heritageAs an unstable atom tries to reach a stable form, energy and matter are released from the nucleus. This spontaneous change in the nucleus is called radioactive decay. When there is a change in the nucleus and one element changes into another, it is called transmutation.Carbon-14 is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 5,730 years (meaning that half of the material will be gone after 5,730 years). This decay means the amount of carbon-14 in an object serves as a clock, showing the object's age in a process called “carbon dating.”Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.
