Is this an example of an elastic collision or inelastic collision? A 200-kg bumper car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended

by an 1100-kg truck
Inoving at 13 m/s. If the car was in neutral and the brakes were off, the bumper car would BOUNCE OFF of the truck into the intersection.​

Answer:

inelastic collision.

Explanation:

An elastic collision consists in a collision in wich the bodies implied bounce off. Furthermore, the momentum of the bodies is conserved.

In as inelastic collision the momentum is not conserved, and is possible that the bodies implied in the collision stay joint after the collision.

In this case yo have that both bumper car and truck stayed joint after the collision. Hence, this situation is an inelastic collision.

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the
belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m
