Answer:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Explanation:
In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)
(1)
Where:
,
- Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.
,
- Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:





The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
