How should you approach a dock when the wind or current is pushing you away from the dock?

Physics

Answer:

If the wind is offshore (blowing away from the dock), one should carefully approach the dock at a 20 to 30 degree angle. A bow line is then passed ashore and secured. In boats having an outboard, or inboard/outboard engine, the engine is turned towards the dock and put in reverse. This invariably will bring the stern into the dock.

A 2000 kg truck is traveling at 5 m/s and collides with a 1000 kg car that is not moving. After the collision, the 2000 truck st
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

A) 10 m/s

Explanation:

We know that according to conservation of momentum,

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1u1 + m2u2  ..............(equation 1)

where m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies, v1 and v2 are initial velocity before collision and u1 and u2 are final velocities after collision respectively.

From the given data

If truck and car are two bodies

truck :       m1 = 2000 Kg           v1 = 5 m/s                u1 = 0

car    :        m2 = 1000 kg           v2 = 0                      u2 = ?

final velocity of truck and initial velocity of car are static because the objects were at rest in the respective time.

substituting the values in equation 1, we get

(2000 x 5) + 0 = 0 + (1000 x u2)

u2 = \frac{2000}{1000} x 5

    = 10 m/s

Hence after collision, car moves at a velocity of 10 m/s
