The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 800 kg$ is the mass of the sport car

$u_1 = 13.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive direction)

$m_2 = 1200 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$u_2 = 25.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the truck

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s$

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

How does the angle of launch affect the kinetic energy of a rubber band?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The angle of launch of the rubber band affects the initial velocity. The more the rubber band is stretched the more force it applies to return to equilibrium and the more kinetic energy that results in.

An ore sample weighs 17.50 N in air. When the sample

zysi [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of an ore sample=17.5 N

Tension in the cord=11.2 N

We have to find the total volume and the density of the sample.

We know that

Tension, T= $W-F_b$

$F_b$ =buoyancy force

T=Tension force

W=Weight

By using the formula

$11.2=17.5-F_b$

$F_b=17.5-11.2=6.3$ N

$F_b=V_{object}\times \rho_{water}\cdot g$

Where

$V_{object}$ =Volume of object

$\rho_{water}=1000 kgm^{-3}$ =Density of water

$g=9.8 ms^{-2}$ =Acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the values then we get

$6.3=9.8\times 1000\times V_{object}$

$V_{object}=\frac{6.3}{9.8\times 1000}=6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3$

Volume of sample= $6.43\times 10^{-4} m^3$

Density of sample, $\rho_{object}=\frac{Mass}{volume_{object}}$

Where mass of ore sample=1.79 kg

Substitute the values then, we get

$\rho_{object}=\frac{1.79}{6.43\times 10^{-4}}=2.78\times 10^3 kg/m^3$

Density of the sample= $2.78\times 10^{3} kgm^{-3}$
