Moment is mass times speed
INITIAL moment before collision was 20 000 times 25 = 500 000

3. What are the forces present on the rope?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The pulling force that acts along a stretched flexible connector, such as a rope or cable, is called tension, T. When a rope supports the weight of an object that is at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object: T = mg.

Joaquin is at rest at the top of a hill on a skateboard. Four seconds later, he reaches the bottom of the hill at a final veloci

Andre45 [30]

Explanation:

Given: Initial Velocity=0

Final Velocity= 20 m/s

Time= 4 s

Accleration: Unknowns

Use kinematic equation

$v _{f} = v _{i} + at$

$20 = 0 + at$

$\frac{20m}{s} = a(4s)$

$a = \frac{5m}{ {s}^{2} }$

so a = 5 m/s^2

A 920-kg compact car moving at 92 m/s has approximately 3,893,440 Joules of kinetic energy. What is the change in kinetic energy

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Change in kinetic energy = 3297280 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 920 kg

Speed of a car, v = 92 m/s

Kinetic energy, K = 3,893,440 J

If the speed of a car, V = 36 m/s

Net kinetic energy is given by :

$K_n=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 920\times (36)^2\\\\K_n=596160\ J$

The change in kinetic energy = 3,893,440 - 596160

= 3297280 J

So, the change in kinetic energy of the car is 3297280 J.
