<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg.
The key here is the conservation of momentum.
For the first truck, the momentum is
0(5100 + 4300)
The second truck has a starting momentum of
60(5100 + x)
And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is
42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x)
So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other.
0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x)
And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms
0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x)
Getting rid of the zero term
60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x)
Distribute the 60 and the 42.
60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x
306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x
Subtract 42x from both sides
306000 + 18x = 609000
Subtract 306000 from both sides
18x = 303000
And divide both sides by 18
x = 16833.33
So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums.
60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000
42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000
They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>
Answer:
Electromagnetic waves are reflected
Explanation:
Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.
Answer:
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the principle of conservation of energy
starting point. The proton very far from the nucleus
Em₀ = K = ½ m v²
final point. The point where the proton is stopped (v = 0)
Em_f = U = q V
where the potential is
V = k Ze / r²
Let us consider that all the charge of the nucleus is in the center, therefore r is the distance from this point to the proton that is approaching
Energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v² = e (
)
with this expression we can find the closest approach distance (r)
Tom used more Force but over a shorter distance. Tom and Claudia both did the same amount of work.
Impulse, denoted as J, is defined by the change in momentum. Since we have our initial and our final, we can solve for the change in momentum.
