Car a runs a red light and broadsides car b, which is stopped and waiting to make a left turn. car a has a mass of 1,800kg. car

b has a mass of 1,500kg. after the impact, the cars stick together and slide away at a speed of 7.1m/s. how fast was car a going when it hit car b?

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:

mA vA + mB vB = m v

where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s

since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the equation as:

mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v

furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0, hence

mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v

1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)

<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>

Coach Hogue is riding his motorcycle in a circle on wet pavement. Suddenly the bike slides out from under him. What failed to pr
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Force of Friction

Explanation:

As coach Hogue rode his motorcycle round in circle on the wet pavement, the motorcycle and the coach system tends to move in a straight path but due to intervention by the coach they maintain the circular path

The motion equation is

v = ωr and we have the centripetal acceleration given by

α = ω²r and therefore centripetal  force is then

m×α = m × ω²r = m × v²/r

The force required to keep the coach and the motorcycle system in their circular path can be obtained by the impressed force of friction acting towards the center of the circular motion.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>

The aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s
strojnjashka [21]

The mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>

It states that the force F is directly proportional to the acceleration a of the body and its mass.

The law is represented as

F =ma

where acceleration a = velocity change v / time interval t

Given is the aeroplane lands at a speed of 80 m/s. After landing, the aeroplane takes 28 s to decelerate to a speed of 10 m/s. The mean resultant force on the aeroplane as it decelerates is 750 000 N.

The force expression will be

F = mv/t

Substitute the values and we have

750000 = m x  (80 -10)/ 28

750,000 = m x 2.5

m = 300,000 kg

Thus, the mass of the aeroplane is 300,000 kg.
