If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It

is the driver, not the car itself who causes the breaking, so it is an external force. 2. The engine is stopped, so the car has no force to run further. 3. Some internal forces can change the velocity of a body. 4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

(PLS HELP 20 POINTS, IM TOO DUMB FOR THIS) What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
Where m1 is mass of first object
m2 is mass of second object
u1 and u2 are initial velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
v1 and v2 are final velocities of object 1 and 2 respectively
Here, they are moving as a system after collision. Thus they will posses same final velocity
m1u1 +m2u2=v(m1+m2)
Substituting values
600*4+0=v(600+400)
2400=v*1000
v=2.4 m/s

Now momentum of system
p=Mv
p=(600+400)*2.4
p=1000*2.4
Therefore p=2400 kg m/s
Hope this helps :)

Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules of a 1160-kg automobile moving at 19.0 m/s.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

K.E=1/2 mv²

m=1160 kg

v=19.0 m/s

so k.e=1/2*1160*(19.0)²

K.E=1/2*1160*361

K.E=1/2*418760

K.E=209380=2.0*10^5 j
