Two cars collide on the parkway. The drivers are following too closely and the driver in the front slows because of traffic to a

velocity of 20.0m/s and the driver behind is still moving at 30.0m/s, both cars traveling in the same direction in a rear end collision. If the cars are stuck together after the collision, how fast will they be traveling?

Answer:

The are moving with a speed of 25 m/s after the collision.

Explanation:

assuming the mass (m) of the cars are equal, let v = 20 m/s be the velocity of the driver in the front and u = 30 m/s be the velocity of the driver behind. let V be the velocity of the cars after the collision.

then, by conservation of linear momentum:

m×(v + u) = V×2×m

(v + u) = V×2

V = (v + u)/2

  = (20 + 30)/2

  = 25 m/s

Therefore, the are moving with a speed of 25 m/s after the collision.

7. Which law describes when a person lands on a
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law

Explanation:

Newton's third law

Newton's third law: “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is where you get the bounce. When you push down on the trampoline (or fall downward onto the trampoline bed), Newton's third law says that an equal and opposite reaction pushes back.

Which of the following statements explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant? A
Tom [10]

OPTION C The car is accelerating because the direction of velocity is changing explains why a race car going around a curve is accelerating, even if the speed is constant

  • When a body is in uniform circular motion ( constant speed ), it will continuously cheanges its direction and so the body is accelerating
  • The rate at which an item changes its velocity is known as acceleration, a vector variable. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating.
  • As a vector quantity, acceleration has a direction attached to it. The acceleration vector's direction is determined by two factors: if the thing is slowing down or speeding up the direction the thing is travelling in (+ or -)

  • The following general rule is used to calculate acceleration:

An object's acceleration will be in the opposite direction of its velocity if it is slowing down.

You may use this basic concept to determine if an object's acceleration is positive or negative, to the right or left, up or down, etc.

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.
