two vehicles have a head on collision. one vehicle has a mass of 3000 kg and moves at 25 m/s while the second vehicle has a mass

of 2500 kg and moves at -15 m/s. if the vehicles stick together after the collision what is the speed of the combined vehicles

Answer:

The speed of the combined vehicles is 6.82m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which stayed that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to their sum of momentum after collision. After collision, both object moves with the same velocity.

Momentum = mass×velocity

Before collision:

Momentum of vehicle or mass 3000kg moving with velocity 25m/s

= 3000×25

= 75000kgm/s

Pa = 75000kgm/s

Momentum of vehicle with mass 2500kg moving with velocity of -15m/s

= 2500×-15

= -37500kgm/s

After collision:

Momentum = (3000+2500)V

Where v is their common velocity

Momentum after collision = 5500V

Based on the law:

75000+(-37500) = 5500V

75000-37500 = 5500V

37500 = 5500V

V = 37500/5500

V = 6.82m/s

a motorcyclist starts from rest and accelerates at rate of 4 meters per second squared north. what is the final velocity of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

80m<em>/</em><em>s</em>

Explanation:

Final velocity is given by

v=u+at

when a motorcyclist starts from rest, initial velocity (u) =0

therefore

v=0+4*20

v=80m/s

that's the answer

Suppose that a teacher driving a 1972 LeMans zooms out of a darkened tunnel at 34.5 m/s. He is momentarily blinded by the sunshi
valkas [14]

Answer:

489.19m

Explanation:

To find the minimum distance you first calculate the time in which the teacher stops:

v=v_o-at\\\\t=\frac{v_o-v}{a}=\frac{34.5m/s-0m/s}{2.5m/s^2}=13.8s

however, the reaction of the teacher is 0.31s later, then you use

t=13.8-0.31s=13.49s

during this time the camper has traveled a distance of:

x=vt=(15.1m/s)(13.49s)=203.69m   (1)

Next you calculate the distance that teacher has traveled for 13.6s:

x=x_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\x=0m+34.5m/s(13.49s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.5m/s^2)(13.49s)^2=692.88m  (2)

The minimum distance between the driver and the camper will be the difference between (2) and (1):

x_{min}=692.88m-203.69m=489.19m

If a machine is doing 500 J of work with 75 watts of power, how long did it take to complete its task?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

time = 6.67secs

Explanation:

power = workdone( energy) / time

therefore :

Time = workdone / power

time = 500 / 75

time = 6.67secs
