Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1200 kg and had a speed

of 25 m/s before the collision. Car B has a mass of 1600 kg. The skid marks show that, immediately after the collision, the wreckage was moving in a direction making an angle of 40° with the original direction of car A. What was the speed of car B before the collision, assuming that any other unbalanced forces are negligible?

Answer:

v_{B0}=15.73 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum:

x-coordinate

p_{0x}=p_{fx}

m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cx}  

m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}cos(40) (1)

y-coordinate

p_{0y}=p_{fy}

m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cy}  

m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}sin(40) (2)

We can divide equations (2) and (1):

\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=\frac{sin(40)}{cos(40)}

\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=tan(40)

v_{B0}=\frac{m_{A}v_{A0}}{m_{B}}*tan(40)

v_{B0}=\frac{1200*25}{1600}*tan(40)

v_{B0}=15.73 m/s

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

The speed of car b before collision is 15.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car a= 1200 kg

Speed = 25 m/s

Mass of car b = 1600 kg

moving in a direction making an angle of 40°

We need to calculate the speed of car b before the collision

Using conservation of momentum

Horizontal momentum,

P_{i}=P_{f}m_{1}v_{1}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v\cos\theta

substitute the value into the formula

1200\times25=(1200+1600)v\times\cos40v=\dfrac{1200\times25}{2800\times\cos40}v=13.98\ m/s

Vertical momentum,

P_{i}=P_{f}m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v\sin\theta

substitute the value into the formula

1600\times v=(1200+1600)\times13.98\times\sin40\\v_{2}=\dfrac{2800\times13.98\sin40}{1600}\\v_{2}=15.72\ m/s

Thus, The speed of car b before collision is 15.72 m/s

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
tia_tia [17]

1.A) 4.9 m  

AL2006 Ace

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.


After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).


Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.


Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered 4.9 meters.


ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²
