A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s

ame road at 14.0 m/s . The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision.
a. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the two vehicles just after the collision?
b. At what speed should the truck have been moving so that both it and the car are stopped in the collision?
c. Find the change in kinetic energy of the system of two vehicles for the situations of part (a) and part (b). For which situation is the change in kinetic energy greater in magnitude?

Answer:

(A) V = 9.89m/s

(B) U = -2.50m/s

(C) ΔK.E = –377047J

(D) ΔK.E = –257750J

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below. The east has been chosen as the direction for positivity.

This problem involves the principle of momentum conservation. This principle states that the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. This problem is an inelastic kind of collision for which the momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not. The kinetic energy after collision is always lesser than that before collision. The balance is converted into heat by friction, and also sound energy.

See attachment below for full solution.

A student weighing 700 N climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. The average power expended by the
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The average power the student expended to overcome gravity is 560W, Watts is a units of work it is Joules /time or kg*m^{2}/ s^{3}

Explanation:

Weight = 700N

F= m*g*h \\m*g= 700N\\F= 700N*h\\F=700N*8m\\F= 5600 N*m \\F=5600 J

The power is the work in (Joules) or (N*m) in a determinate time (s) to get Watts (W) units for work

Work= \frac{5600 J}{10s} = \frac{5600 \frac{kg*m^{2} }{s^{2} } }{10 s}  \\Work= 560\frac{kg*m^{2} }{s^{3} } \\Work =560 W

Hey plz help me<br>suggest a situations where you might need to use ear defenders
xenn [34]
You would need to ear defenders (I'm assuming these are ear protectors for use with loud sounds) while firing at a gun range. You could use it for loud construction areas.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.
