A red car of mass m is heading north (direction 0°). It collides at an intersection with a yellow car of mass 1.3m heading east

(direction 90°). Immediately after the collision, the cars lock together and travel at in direction 42°. What is the speed of the yellow car just before the collision?

After the collision, the momentum to the north comes completely from the red car, and the momentum to the east comes completely from the yellow car. Suppose the initial velocity of red car is v1, and yellow car is v2. The momentum of red car is v1*m, and yellow car is v2*1.3m. Since the cas travel in direction 42, we know that tan42=1.3m*v2/m*v1, so v2/v1=0.69. The yellow car's initial velocity is 0.69 of that of the red car.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Less powerful

Explanation:

Hurricanes rely on warm water. It sucks heat energy from the water to use for fuel. Warmer water means more moisture, which also mean a bigger and/or stronger hurricane. The North Atlantic is definitely much colder than the Caribbean so the hurricane will not have much fuel.

Have a great day!

A spacecraft of mass 1500 kg orbits the earth at an altitude of approximately 450 km above the surface of the earth. Assuming a
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 /  (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N
