A car heading north collides at an intersection with a truck of the same mass as the car heading east. If they lock together and

travel at 28 m/s at 37° north of east just after the collision, how fast was the car initially traveling? Assume that any other unbalanced forces are negligible.
what is the correct answer
34 m/s
17 m/s
26 m/s
68 m/s

This phenomenon is an inelastic collision. The problem is easier to solve because the masses of the colliding bodies are equal. By conservation of momentum, the final momentum of the bodies as one is equal to the VECTOR sum of the momentum of individual bodies. 

For this problem, the final velocity of the two cars is the sum of the initial velocities of each car. The velocity of the car is just the component of the velocity along the north direction.

Using trigonometry,
v1 = vf * sin(theta)
v1 = 28 * sin(37)

v1 = 16.9 m/s

A bowling ball rolls 33\,\text m33m33, start text, m, end text with an average speed of 2.5\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.5 s m ​ 2
asambeis [7]

The ball rolled for 13.2 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Speed is scalar and no direction

\tt avg~speed=\dfrac{total~distance}{elapsed~time}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

A bowling ball rolls 33 m, with average speed = 2.5 m/s

So elapsed time :

\tt t=\dfrac{33~m}{2.5`m/s}=13.2~s

Consider an old-fashion bicycle with a small wheel of radius 0.17 m and a large wheel of radius 0.92 m. Suppose the rider starts
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10259.6 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of small wheel,r=0.17 m

Radius of large wheel,r'=0.92 m

Initial velocity,u=0

Time,t=2.7 minutes=162 s

1 min=60 s

Velocity,v=10m/s

Time,t'=13.7 minutes=822 s

Time,t''=4.1 minutes=246 s

v=u+at

Substitute the values

10=0+162a=162a

a=\frac{10}{162}=0.0617m/s^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Substitute the values

s=\frac{1}{2}(0.0617)(162)^2=809.6 m

s'=vt'=10\times 822=8220 m

a'=\frac{v}{t''}=\frac{10}{246}

s''=\frac{1}{2}a't''^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{10}{246}(246)^2=1230 m

Total distance traveled by rider=s+s'+s''=809.6+8220+1230=10259.6 m

To test the hypothesis that the population mean mu=3. 6, a sample size n=14 yields a sample mean 4. 007 and sample standard devi
PolarNik [594]

The P value for the given data set is 25127. For finding P value, we have to must find the Z value.

<h3>How to get the z scores?</h3>

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

The Z value is calculated as;

Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma})

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Z = (4.007 - 3.6) / 0.607

Z = 0.67051

The P value for the given data set is 25127.
