Answer:
9. A 1500kg car traveling +6m/s with a 2000kg truck at rest. The vehicles collide, but do not stick together. The car has a velocity -3m/s after the collision. What is the velocity of the truck? a. What type of collision occurred above?
From the average speed you can fix an equation:
Average speed = distance / time
You know the average speed = 65.1 kg / h, then
65.1 = distance / total time,
where total time is the time traveling plus 22.0 minutes
Call t the time treavelling and pass 22 minutes to hours:
65.1 = distance / [t + 22/60] ==> distance = [t + 22/60]*65.1
From the constant speed, you can fix a second equation
Constant speed = distance / time traveling
94.5 = distance / t ==> distance = 94.5 * t
The distance is the same in both equations, then you have:
[t +22/60] * 65.1 = 94.5 t
Now you can solve for t.
65.1t + 22*65.1/60 = 94.5t
94.5t - 65.1t = 22*65.1/60
29.4t = 23.87
t = 23.87 / 29.4
t = 0.812 hours
distance = 94.5 km/h * 0.812 h = 76.7 km
Answers: 1) 0.81 hours, 2) 76.7 km
To solve this problem, we use the equation:
<span>d = (v^2 - v0^2) /
2a</span>
where,
d = distance of collapse
v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s
v = final velocity = 0
a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2
d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)
<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
