A 4148-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 12 m/s due east collides head-on with a 898-kg car traveling with a velocity of 40

m/s due west. The two vehicles stick together after the collision. Determine the momentum of the 4148-kg truck and the 898-kg car prior to the collision.

Answer:

49776 kgm/s

- 35920 kgm/s

Explanation:

Consider east direction as positive direction of motion and west as negative direction of motion

M = mass of the truck = 4148 kg

V = velocity of the truck in the east direction = 12 m/s

P = Momentum of the truck = ?

Momentum of the truck is given as

P = M V

P = (4148) (12)

P = 49776 kgm/s

m = mass of the car = 898 kg

v = velocity of the car in the west direction = - 40 m/s

p = Momentum of the car = ?

Momentum of the truck is given as

p = m v

p = (898) (- 40)

p = - 35920 kgm/s

In each of the four situations below an object is experiencing (nearly) uniform circular motion. State what force is providing t
Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that a centripetal force is a form of force that gives rise or causes a body to move in a curved path.

Hence;

1. When a car is being driven around a track, it is the FORCE OF FRICTION that is acting upon the turned wheels of the vehicle, which transforms into the centripetal force required for circular motion.

2. When a ball being is swung on the end of a string, TENSION FORCE acts upon the ball, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

3. When the moon is orbiting the earth, it is the FORCE OF GRAVITY acting upon the moon, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

4. A rotating wheel on the other hand has NO centripetal force because centripetal force is pull towards the center of a motion. However the speed of the object is tangent to the circle, while the direction of the force is also perpendicular to the direction of the rotating wheel.

a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the
aleksklad [387]
At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

             H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

             H  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

                         <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²)  =  20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add  </span><span>(1/2 G Q²)  to each side.
Then it says
                                             50  =  20Q

Divide each side by 20:          2.5  =  Q .

And there we are.  The stones pass each other

                                       2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

A 720 kg roller-coaster starts off from Location A. Assuming friction does not impede the car's motion, what will be the change
vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

The first dancer in the line is 10 m from the speaker playing the music; the last dancer in the line is 120 m from the speaker.
abruzzese [7]

Answer: 0.321 seconds

Explanation:

Let assume that air has a temperature of 20 °C. Sound speed at given temperature is 343 \frac{m}{s}. As sound spreads at constant speed, time can be easily found by using this formula:

\Delta t = \Delta t_{far} - \Delta t_{near}

\Delta t = \frac{x_{far}-x_{near}}{v_{sound,air}}

\Delta{t} = \frac{120 m - 10 m}{343 \frac{m}{s} }\\\\\Delta {t} = 0.321 sec
