Police are investigating an accident. They know that Tom Brady was driving 20 m/s before being hit by Jay Z head on. Tom Brady’s

car has a mass of 1100 kg and Jay Z’s has a mass of 1475 kg. They also know that the two cars stuck together and were traveling 7 m/s in the same direction as Jay Z was driving. The speed limit was 25 m/s, was Jay Z speeding?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

The cars stick together after the collision, so they have the same final velocity.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v + m₂v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

Plug in values and solve (take Jay Z's direction to be positive):

(1100) (-20) + (1475) u₂ = (1100 + 1475) (7)

u₂ = 27.1 m/s

Yes, Jay Z was speeding.

I NEED HELP, PLEASE.
Zinaida [17]
Hello,


I'd be glad to help.

Momentum  =  (mass) times (speed)

                                           =  (75 kg)  x  (18 m/s)

                                           =         1,350 kg-m/s  .    

Hope this helps

Is static electricity more harmful than it is helpful or vice versa
Deffense [45]

Answer:

You might even see a spark if the discharge of electrons is large enough. The good news is that static electricity can't seriously harm you. Your body is composed largely of water and water is an inefficient conductor of electricity, especially in amounts this small. Not that electricity can't hurt or kill you.

A hockey pick sliding along a frictional surface strikes a box at rest, after the collision the two objects stick together and m
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option a is correct  

If puck and pick constitute a system then the momentum of the system is conserved but not this may not be valid for the puck .

Option e is correct

If puck and pick is the system then momentum is conserved but because of the presence of friction, mechanical energy is not conserved.

Friction will cause the energy to dissipate in heat.
