At a busy intersection, a 1320-kg car traveling west with a speed of 12 m/s collides head-on with a minivan traveling east with

a speed of 9.4 m/s. The cars stick together and move with a velocity of 1.5 m/s to the east after the collision. What is the mass of the minivan

p = mv so this question pertains to conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the car is 1320*12 = 15840kgms^-1
For the sake of easiness and the fact negatives are annoying, I will assume east to be positive.

So we know 9.4m - 15840 = (1320+m)*1.5
9.4m - 15840 = 1980+1.5m

Rearranging to solve for m
7.9m = 17820
m = 2255.70 = 2300kg to 2sf

Calculate the work done if a boy lifts a bag of cement 500N to the floor of a lorry 2.5m above the ground
eduard

Answer:

W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ

Explanation:

The work done by the boy is due to the change in the position of the cement vertically. Hence, the work done in this case will be equal to the potential energy of the cement:

W = P.E\\W = mgh

where,

W = Work done = ?

mg = W = weight of cement = 500 N

h = height covered = 2.5 m

Therefore,

W = (500\ N)(2.5\ m)

<u>W = 1250 J = 1.25 KJ</u>

If an isotope has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in it's nucleus, what is it's atomic mass?
viva [34]
The atomic mass is always equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. If you add the number of protons and neutrons (8 + 10) = 18 you will find that the atomic mass is 18.

Sound waves strike a glass and cause it to shatter.

1. Resonance. Mechanical waves act on or through a medium, these waves can often have frequencies that are synchronized in a way that makes them act on the matter in the medium more "aggressively."

If a scale of the solar system was built where 1 mm equaled 1 mile, could the model be practically built in a city?
Y_Kistochka [10]
No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.
ON THAT SCALE !
