Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Mass, m1 = 0.5kg

m2= 1.5kg

Velocity before collision for mass 1, u1 = 1m/s

Velocity before collision for mass 2, u2 = 0m/s because it is at rest.

Velocity after collision, V = ?

From law of conservation of linear momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision.

Remember momentum = mass x velocity

Therefore,

m1u1 +m2u2 = (m1 + m2)V

0.5x1 + 1.5x0 = (1.5+0.5)V

0.5+0 = 2V

2V = 0.5

Divide both sides by 2

V = 0.5/2

V = 0.25m/s

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto

mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity $v_1$ in time $t_1$

$\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1$

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with $v_2$ and $v_3$ velocity for half-half time

$\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}$

$\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}$

Now average velocity is given by

$v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}$

taking $t_1$ common

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}$

A wave is described by y=0.0200 sin (kx - ωt) , where , ω = 3.62 rad/s, x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds.(b) the wavel

BartSMP [9]

For a wave is described by y=0.0200 sin (kx - ωt) , where , ω = 3.62 rad/s, x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds, the wavelength = 2.978

<h3>How to solve for the wavelength</h3>

What is wave speed?

This is used to refer to the speed at which a wave is moving. It is the product of frequency and wave number

Given data

y=0.0200 sin (kx - ωt)

ω = 3.62 rad/s

y are in meters

t is in seconds

k = 2.11 rad/m

k = wavenumber = 2 * pi / wavelength

wavelength = 2 * pi / wavenumber

wavelength = 2 * pi / 2.11

wavelength = 2.978
