A car of mass 2200 kg collides with a truck of mass 4500 kg, and just after the collision the car and truck slide along, stuck t

ogether, with no rotation. The car's velocity just before the collision was <33, 0, 0> m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was <-18, 0, 22> m/s. (a) Your first task is to determine the velocity of the stuck-together car and truck just after the collision. What system and principle should you use

Answer:

37.7m/s: principle of conservation of momentum

Explanation:

The principle to make use of is the principle of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of bodies after collision. This bodies will move with the same velocity after collision.

Momentum = Mass × velocity

For car of mass 2200kg moving with velocity 33m/s:

Momentum of car before collision = 2200×33

= 72,600kgm/s

For the truck of mass 4500kg;

Momentum = 4500 ×(22-(-18)

= 4500×40

= 180000kgm/s

After collision, their momentum is:

Momentum after collision = (2200+4500)v

= 6700v

Using the principle above to get the common velocity v we have

72600+180000 = 6700v

252600 = 6700v

v = 252600/6700

v = 37.7m/s

A speaker emits sound waves in all directions, and at a distance of 28 m from it the intensity level is 73 db. What is the total
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

P=0.197 Watt

Explanation:

Given That

B=73dB

Io= 1 * 10^-12

I=Io * 10^{\frac{B}{10} } \\I=2 * 10^{-5} Wm^{-2}  \\A=4 * pi * r^{2}\\ A=9852.03 m^{2}\\ Power= I * A\\P= 0.197 Watt

A river 1.00 mile wide flows with a constant speed of 1.00 mph. A man can row a boat at 2.00 mph. He crosses the river in a dire
gladu [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the geometric concepts of displacement according to the description given. Taking into account that there is an initial displacement towards the North and then towards the west, therefore the speed would be:

V_T^2=v_N^2-v_W^2

V_T = \sqrt{v_N^2-v_W^2}

Travel north 2mph and west to 1mph, then,

V_T = \sqrt{2^2-1^2}

V_T = \sqrt{3}

The route is done exactly the same to the south and east, so make this route twice, from the definition of speed we have to

v= \frac{\Delta x}{t}

t = \frac{\Delta x}{v}

t = \frac{2*(1mile)}{\sqrt{3}mph}

t = 1.15hour

Therefore the total travel time for the man is 1.15hour.

Student swings a small rubber stopper attached to a string over her head in a horizontal, circular path. The string is 1.50 mete
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

v = 18.84 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of the string, r = 1.5 m (it will act as radius)

The rubber stopper makes 120 complete circles every minute.

Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

It means, its frequency is 2 circles every second.

Let we need to find the average speed of the rubber stopper. It can be calculated as follows :

v=\dfrac{d}{T}

d is distance, d=2\pi r and 1/T = f (frequency)

v=2\pi rf\\\\=2\pi \times 1.5\times 2\\\\=18.84\ m/s

So, the average speed of the rubber stopper is 18.84 m/s.

What could you do to change the volume of a gas?
Lorico [155]
The ONLY way to change the volume of a sample of gas is to transfer it to a container with different volume.
Simply changing its temperature or pressure in the same jar won't do it. Any amount of gas always fills whatever container you keep it in.

A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 5 N is applied? a 0.5 m/s2 b 3.5 m/s2 c 5 m/s
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= 0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied on an object is known as

F=m.a  (Newton's second law states it)

a=F/m

a=5/10=0.5m/s^2
