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

What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. Coal

<h2>Why?</h2>

Coal power plants burn coal in to get steam, the steam flows into a turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.

Coal power plants work burning high amounts of coal into a boiler, generation a lot of steam under extreme pressures. The steam is obtained when the water is heated by the burning coal, then the steam is cooled, being transformed in liquid water again (due the condensation process) and it's sent back on a cyclical process.

Have a nice day!

Which layer of the atmosphere has the highest density?
fomenos

Answer:

The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol. The troposphere extends from the Earth’s surface up to the tropopause where the stratosphere begins.

Consider two wires made of copper. They have the same diameter but one of them has three times the length of the other. Choose t
boyakko [2]

Answer:

a. Both wires have the same resistivity

Explanation:

For the resistance of a wire , following formula holds good .

R = ρ l / S , R is resistance , l is length , S is cross sectional area and ρ is resistivity of the material that the wire is made of. Resistance is dependent on length and cross sectional area but resistivity does not depend upon length or cross sectional area . It only depends upon the type of material.

If we replace  copper wire with aluminium wire , then resistivity will change .

Hence , since the wire remains made of copper , resistivity will not change.

12345 [234]

Answer:

6.49 x 10^-8 N

Explanation:

formula is

F= G * ((m1 * m2)/r^2)

F = 6.67x10^-11 * ((6.8*6.8/.218)

F = 6.49 x 10^-8 Newtons
