The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter
:

The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:

(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).
So, at the beginning, the total momentum is

At the end, we have

(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)
After the impact, the total momentum is

Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for
, and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.
Answer:
a) 11 m/s
b) 0.0564 s
Explanation:
Given:
m = 2100 kg
vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision
vf = 0 ......after collision to stop
Δs = 0.62 distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck
Part a

Part b

Answer:
efficiancy=40 percent
Explanation:
efficiency=energy output/energy input×100
efficiancy=8J/20J×100
efficiancy=0.4×100
efficiancy=40 percent
Mark brianliest if my answer suit your question..
348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.
To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations
and
where
is distance,
is the initial velocity,
is the final velocity,
is time, and
is aceleration.
Superman's initial velocity is
, and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know
,
and
, we have to find the aceleration
in order to find
.
From the equation
we have to clear
, getting the equation as follows:
.
Substituting the values:

To find
we use the equation
.
Substituting the values:
