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

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>

A 5.0-kg box has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it is pulled by a horizontal force across a surface with μK = 0.50. Find the w
Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature.  Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat.  Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.  Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

A charge of 12c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2 min, what is the average current? ​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

If I am not wrong

current = charge/time

All you have to take care of is the units should be in the same system

so

current = 12/(2*60)         ---------  2 min = 2*60 sec

current  = 12/120  = 0.1 amp
