small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average

force due to the collision is correct? A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the average force due to the collision is correct? It is impossible to tell since the velocities are not given. The truck experiences the greater average force. It is impossible to tell since the masses are not given. The small car and the truck experience the same average force. The small car experiences the greater average force.

Answer:

The correct option is D: "The small car and the truck experience the same average force."

Explanation:

The magnitude of the average force experienced by both bodies in motion is the same as explained by Newton's third law of motion. The force exerted by each body is equal and opposite in direction. The resulting acceleration experienced by each vehicle, however, will not be the same. It is greater for the small car.

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.

Average velocity = distance / time

Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

where ;

m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial  velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2

Given in the question that;

m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?

Apply the formula as;

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

A balloon filled with helium gas at 20°C occupies 4.91 L at 1.00 atm. The balloon is immersed in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, whil
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

0.25 L

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 1 atm

T_1 = Initial Temperature = 20 °C

V_1 = Initial volume = 4.91 L

P_2 = Final pressure = 5.2 atm

T_2 = Final Temperature = -196 °C

V_2= Final volume

From ideal gas law we have

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1\times 4.91(273.15-196)}{(20+273.15)\times 5.2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=0.24849\ L\approx 0.25\ L

The pressure experienced by the balloon is 0.25 L
