Two identical objects in outer space have a head-on collision and stick together. If, before the collision, one had been moving

Answer:

1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved and conservation of momentum is

p₁ + p₂ = p'₁ + p'₂

or

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v'₁  + m₂v'₂

In our problem, after collision v'₁ will be equal to v'₂.

Since objects are identical m₁ = m₂

m(v₁+ v₂) = 2m x v'₁

(2m/s + 1m/s) = 2v'₁

v'₁ = v'₂ = 1.5 m/s

A mechanic pushes a 2.30 ✕ 103-kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 4,800 J of work in the process. During this time, the car
Illusion [34]

The horizontal force applied is  160 N while the velocity is  2.03 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed of the car?</h3>

The work done by the car is obtained as the product of the force and the distance;

W = F x

F = ?

x = 30.0 m

W = 4,800 J

F = 4,800 J/30.0 m

F = 160 N

But F = ma

a = F/m

a = 160 N/2.30 ✕ 10^3-kg

a= 0.069 m/s

Now;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

u = 0/ms because the car started from rest

v = √2as

v = √2 * 0.069 * 30

v = 2.03 m/s
