Answer:


Explanation:
m = Mass of each the cars = 
= Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s
= Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s
v = Velocity of combined mass
As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is
.
As energy in the system is conserved we have

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is
.
Answer:
2.605m
Explanation:
Using the formula for calculating Range (distance travelled in horizontal direction)
Range R = U√2H/g
U is the speed = 4.8m/s
H is the maximum height = ?
g is the acc due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
R = 3.5m
Substitute into the formula and get H
3.5 = 4.8√2H/9.8
3.5/4.8 = √2H/9.8
0.7292 = √2H/9.8
square both sides
0.7292² = 2H/9.8
2H = 0.7292² * 9.8
2H = 5.21
H = 5.21/2
H = 2.605m
Hence the height of the ball from the ground is 2.605m
-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F1.
-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F2.
-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F3.
-- add up the 3 horizontal components; their sum is the horizontal component of the resultant.
-- add up the 3 vertical components; their sum is the vertical component of the resultant.
-- the magnitude of the resultant is the square root of (vertical component^2 + horizontal component^2)
-- the direction of the resultant is the angle whose tangent is (vertical component/horizontal component), starting from the positive x-direction.

20/2= 10mph
<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = ½mv² = ½ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)² = 2.9 J
max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum:
1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v → v = 0.6 m/s
which means the combined KE = ½ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)² = 0.79 J
The remaining energy went into the spring:
U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = ½kx² = ½ * 554N/m * x²
x = 0.0076 m ↠(a)</span>
