Use the impulse-momentum theorem.

$Ft = mv$

Substitute your known values:

$(120kg)(20m/s) = F(1.5)

F= 1600N$

Hope this helps!

__________ is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Spina bifida

Explanation:

Spina bifida is a developmental defect in which a portion of the spinal cord protrudes outside the vertebrae.

Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when there is improper formation of the spine and spinal cord. It's a type of neural tube defect. The structure in a developing embryo that eventually becomes the baby's brain, spinal cord and the tissues that enclose them is the neutral tube.

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci

vovikov84 [41]

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know.

m1 = 125 kg v1 = 12m/s v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg v2 = -13m/s v'2 = ?

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$
$(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'$
$1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation.

$-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')$
$0.03m/s=(v_{2}')$

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.
