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.

<span>Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:

d = v0t + at^2/2

We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,

d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

A car slows down from 80 km/h to 60 km/h in 2 seconds.
Andreyy89

Answer:

please mark brainlist

Explanation:

Initial speed   u=80 km/h=80×185=22.22 m/s

Final speed    v=60 km/h=60×185=16.67 m/s

Using   v=u+at

Or   16.67=22.22+α×5

⟹ a=−1.1 m/s2

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
