A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling

in the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling?

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

A mass m0 is attached to a spring and hung vertically. The mass is raised a short distance in the vertical direction and release
iragen [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillations in terms of fo will be f2=fo/3

E xplanation:

T= 2pie\frac sqrt {m}{k}

 \frac {{f2}/times {fo}}=1:3

⇒f2=fo\3

Here frequency f is inversely poportional to square root of mass m.

so the value of remainder of frequency f2 and fo is equal to 1:3.

⇒\frac{f2} {f1} = \frac sqrt{m1}[m2}

⇒\frac{f2}{fo} = 1:3

⇒f2=\frac{fo} {3}

Describe and explain how the movement and arrangement of the particles in a block of ice change as the ice melts to form liquid
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Ice is water in solid phase, in this phase, the particles are very close together and relatively in fixed positions.

As the temperature starts to increase (thermal energy), also does the kinetic energy of the particles (so we have a change from thermal energy to kinetic energy), so they start to move "more", and the position of the particles starts to be less "fixed". There is a point where the particles have enough energy, and this point is where the phase of the water changes from solid to liquid phase (the fusion point). After this point the water can not hold his shape, and takes the shape of the container where it is.
