A car (mass 1200 kg, speed 100 km/h) and a truck (mass 2800 kg, speed 50 km/h) are moving in the same direction along a highway.

If the car slams into the truck from behind and the two vehicles remain locked, what is the speed of the wreck immediately after the collision?

Answer:

Speed of the wreck after the collision is 65 km/h

Explanation:

When a car hits truck and sticks together, the  collision would be totally inelastic.  Since the both the vehicles  locked  together, they have the same final velocity.

Mass of car  m_{1}=1200 kg

Mass of truck m_{2}=2800 kg

Initial speed of the car u_{1}=100 km /h

Initial speed  of the truck u_{2}=50 km /h

The final velocity of the wreck will be

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

since final speed are same, v_{1}=v_{2}=v

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

1200\times 100 +2800 \times 50 =(1200+2800)v\\v=\frac{260000}{4000} \\v=65 km/h

A. Jupiter largest and most massive planet in the solar system

Jupiter has a huge permanent storm that looks like a red spot in images

Jupiter has at least 61 moons orbiting it, some of which are very large

Jupiter located closer to the sun than Kuiper Belt

<h3>Which option that best describes the planet Jupiter?</h3>

Jupiter came on fifth number from the sun and the Jupiter is the massive planet present in our solar system. It contains the big storms like great red spot. The surface of the Jupiter is gas made giant but the surface of the Jupiter is not solid, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth.

The Jupiter contain at least 61 moons which orbiting the Jupiter . The life on the Jupiter is impossible because the Jupiter contain very much pressure, it has volatile surface and the temperature of the Jupiter is very hot than that of the earth.

So we can conclude that option A is the right answer.

HELP PLS!!!! Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is th
maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s .  It's right there in the question.  You said that light travels about  982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year.  But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.
