Answer:

Speed of the wreckage = 49.29 km/hr

Explanation:

This question is solved simply by using the conservation of momentum law.

The momentum of the three moving bodies are calculated below:

Momentum of Car 1 : 1100 * 55 = 60500 kg.km/hr

Momentum of Truck : 480 * 37 = 17760 kg.km/hr

Momentum of Car 2 : 1300 * 49 = 63700 kg.km/hr

Total mass of all three vehicles: 1100 + 480 + 1300 = 2880 kg

The final momentum equals the initial momentum if it is conserved. Thus we have the following equation:

Final Momentum = Initial Momentum

Final Velocity * Total mass = Momentum of all three vehicles combined

Final Velocity * 2880 = 60500 + 17760 + 63700

Final Velocity = 49.29 km/hr

Answer:

the speed of the wreckage is 48.39km/hr

Explanation:

Given that ,

Mass of first car, m₁ =1100kg

Speed of the first car, v₁ = 55km/hr

Mass of second car, m₂ = 480kg

Speed of second car, v₂ = 37km/hr

Mass of third car, m₃ =1300kg

Speed of third car, v₃ = 47km/hr

In the first case,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

(1100\times 55) + (480\times 37)=(1100+480)v\\\\v =\frac{78260}{1580} \\\\v =49.53km/hr

In the second case

(m_1+m_2)v+m_3v_3=(m_1+m_2+m_3)v

where v is the velocity of the combined system

(1100+480)\times 49.53=(1300\times 47)=(1100+480+1300)\\\\(78257.4+61100)=2880\\\\v = \frac{139357.4}{2880} \\\\v =48.39km/hr

Thus , the speed of the wreckage is 48.39km/hr

What is the frictional force between a box and the floor it is being pulled across if, the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.
Artyom0805 [142]

If the pulling is done parallel to the floor with constant velocity, then the box is in equilibrium. In particular, the weight and normal force cancel, so that

<em>n</em> = 38 N

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of 0.27, so that

<em>f</em> = 0.27 (38 N) ≈ 10.3 N

and so the answer is D.

Increasing the # of pulleys increases the _______ but decreases the amount of ______ applied
Maksim231197 [3]

Distance, Force

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Increasing the load will add to the friction on the bearings of the pulleys, thus reducing the efficiency of the system.  The ideal mechanical advantage won't change since the ideal mechanical advantage ignores friction.

2)  Increasing the number of pulleys will increase the ideal mechanical advantage, but because of friction it will decrease the efficiency.  The more pulleys that are turning, the more friction there is, and the less efficient the system will be.

3)  Work = force x distance, and what machines do is alter the amount of force you can apply while at the same time reducing the distance moved by the same factor.  For instance, a jack multiplies the force you apply by a factor of 100, when you push down on the handle of the jack 100 cm, the car will only go up 1 cm.  So the force x distance is the same 100 x force x 1/100 x distance.

How do I solve this arithmetic sequence?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The 16ᵗʰ term of this sequence is 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

First Term = a₁ = 9

Common Difference = (d) = 2

Now, For 16ᵗʰ term, n = 16

<em>aₙ = a + (n - 1)d</em>

a₁₆ = 7 + (16 - 1) × 2

a₁₆ = 7 + 15 × 5

a₁₆ = 7 + 75

a₁₆ = 82

Thus, The 16ᵗʰ term of this sequence is 82
