A 833 kg automobile is sliding on an icy street. It collides with a parked car which has a mass of 561 kg. The two cars lock up

and slide together with a speed of 16.8 km/h. What was the speed of the first car just before the collision?

Answer:

The speed of the first car just before the collision is 7.841 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the automobile, m = 833 kg

Mass of the parked car, m' = 561 kg

The final speed of the cars lock up and slide together with a speed of 16.8 km/h, V = 16.8 km/h = 4.67 m/s

If two cars lock up and slide together, then it is the case of inelastic collision. The momentum will remains conserved such as :

mv+m'v'=(m+m')V

v is the speed of the first car

v' is the speed of the second car that is at rest

So,

mv=(m+m')V

v=\dfrac{(m+m')V}{m}

v=\dfrac{(833+561)\times 4.67}{833}

v=7.81\ m/s

So, the speed of the first car just before the collision is 7.841 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Question 2 (1 point)
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

I know someone anwsered but it would be 400M

Explanation:

i initial velocity (u)=10m/s

acceleration (a)=0

time taken (t) =40s

then distance (s)=u t +1/2 a t^2

s= u t +0 (as a is 0)

s= 10 x 40

s= 400M

KI + Cl2 ---&gt; KCl + I2<br> Balance the single replacement chemical reaction.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

2KI   +  Cl₂   →   2KCl     +    I₂

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        KI   +  Cl₂   →    KCl     +    I₂

The problem at hand is to balance this chemical reaction. To solve this problem we use a mathematical approach;

        aKI   +  bCl₂   →    cKCl     +    dI₂

 Conserving K : a = c

                     I :  a  = 2d

                   Cl : 2b = c  

 Now let a = 1, c  = 1 , d  = \frac{1}{2}, b   = \frac{1}{2}, ;

   Multiply through by 2;

             a  = 2, b = 1 , c = 2, d  = 1

 

            2KI   +  Cl₂   →   2KCl     +    I₂
