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

Ayuda por favor !
Mrrafil [7]

La respuesta es 3 ohmios

Resistencia total = (1/12 + 1/4) ⁻¹

= (1/3) ⁻¹

= 3 ohmios

Por ejemplo, dos resistencias, R1 y R2 están en serie, la resistencia combinada es R1 + R2.

Cuando se conecta en paralelo, la resistencia total es el recíproco de (1 / R1 + 1 / R2)

En este caso las resistencias están en paralelo

Espero que esto ayude, que tengas un día bendecido!

The rotor of an electric motor has an angular velocity of 3600 rpm when the load and power are cut off. the 125-lb rotor, which
velikii [3]

Answer:

      θ '= 4975 rev

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the relationship between work and the change in kinetic energy

         W = ΔK

the expression for work is

         W = - τ Δθ

where the negative sign indicates that the torque is in the opposite direction to rotation

kinetic energy

           K = ½ I w²

         

we substitute

           - τ Δθ = 0 - ½ I w²

           θ = \frac{1}{2} \ \frac{I w^2}{\tau}

if we approach the rotor to a cylinder with an axis of rotation through its center

          I = ½ m r²

we substitute

          θ = ½ (½ m r²)   \frac{w^2}{\tau}

How the measurements are in the English system, the weight

         W = m g

          m = W / g

let's reduce to the english system

          w = 3600 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1 min / 60s) = 376.99 rad / s

          r = 9 in (1 ft / 12in) = 0.75 ft

let's calculate

           m = 125/32 = 3.91 slug

          θ = ¼ 3.91 0.75² 376.99² / 2.5

          θ = 3.126 10⁴ rad

let's reduce to revolutions

          θ’= 3.126 10⁴ rad (1rev / 2π rad)

          θ’= 4974.9 rev

          θ '= 4975 rev

A dentist uses a concave mirror to examine a tooth that is 1cm in front of the mirror. The image of the tooth forms 10cm behind
iragen [17]

a) The mirror's radius of curvature will be 2.7 cm

B)  The magnification of the image will be 4.0.

<h3>What is a concave mirror?</h3>

When a hollow spherical is divided into pieces and the exterior surface of each cut portion is painted, it forms a mirror, with the inner surface reflecting the light.

From the mirror equation;

\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}  =\frac{1}{f} \\\\ \frac{1}{1}+\frac{1}{-10}  =\frac{1}{f} \\\\ \frac{1}{f} = 1-\frac{1}{10} \\\\  \frac{1}{f} = \frac{9}{10} \\\\ f= 1.1111

Hence,

The radius of curvature is twice of the focal length;

\rm R = 2f \\\\ \rm R = 2\times 1.111 \\\\ R=2.2222 \  cm

Hence, the mirror's radius of curvature will be 2.7 cm.

The magnification factor is found as;

\rm  m = \frac{-q}{p} \\\\ m = \frac{-(-10)}{1} \\\\ m = 10

Hence, the magnification of the image will be 4.0.

7. In a football game, the running back is running up the field. He starts from rest and runs for 3 seconds
maria [59]

Answer:

11.25m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Time of running  = 3s

Acceleration  = 2.5m/s²

Unknown:

Displacement = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations.

  S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

   u is the initial velocity

    t is the time taken

    a is the acceleration

 S = (0 x 3)  + ( \frac{1}{2}  x 2.5 x 3²)   = 11.25m
