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.

A 15 N force and a 45 N force act on in object in opposite directions. What is the net force on the object?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

30N in the direction the 45N acts.

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 + F2 (the vector sum of the forces)

Assigning a positive direction to the 45N force and a negative direction to the 15N force gives:

Fnet = 45 - 15

Fnet = 30N

Since the answer is positive, it is in the direction the 45N force acts.

To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J
