A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s

ame road at 12.0 m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision. What is the velocity (magnitude) of the two vehicles just after the collision?
At what speed should the truck have been moving so that it and car are both stopped in the collision?

Answer:

a) v_{3} =8.43 m/s

b) v_{2}=2.15m/s

c) ΔK=-28.18x10^4J

d)ΔK=-10.33x10^4J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that there is a collision of a sports car and a truck.

So, the sport car is going to be our object number 1 and the truck object number 2.

m_{1}=1050kg\\v_{1}=-13m/s\\m_{2}=6320kg\\v_{2}=12m/s

Since the two vehicles remain locked together after the collision the final mass is:

m_{3}=7370kg

a) To find the velocity of the two vehicles just after the collision we must use linear's momentum principle

p_{1}=p_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}+ m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}

v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3}}=\frac{(1050kg)(-13m/s)+(6320kg)(12m/s)}{7370kg}

v_{3}=8.43m/s

b) To find the speed the truck should have had so both vehicles stopped in the collision we need to use the same principle used before

m_{1}v_{1}+ m_{2}v_{2}=0

v_{2}=\frac{-m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2} }=\frac{-(1050kg)(-13m/s)}{(6320kg)}=2.15m/s

c) To find the change in kinetic energy we need to do the following steps:

ΔK=k_{2}-k_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2} )

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}(7370)(8.43)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(1050)(-13)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(6320)(12)^{2} )=-28.18x10^{4}J

d) The change in kinetic energy where the two vehicles stopped in the collision is:

ΔK=k_{2}-k_{1}=0-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2} )

ΔK=-(\frac{1}{2}(1050)(-13)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(6320)(2.15)^{2} )=-10.33x10^4J

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The law zero of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The law zero of thermodynamics, which tells us that heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to another body with lower temperature, when the heat transfer is zero, it is said that the two bodies are in thermal equilibrium, their temperatures are equal

If 1 gallon of a liquid weighs 4 pounds how much would one ounce weight (keep in mind that liquid ounces are different than weig
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

64 ounces

Explanation:

Pound is the unit of mass in the imperial system of units.  It is used in the United States. Its calibration is done with the SI unit of mass which is kilogram. 1 lb =  0.45359237 kg

1 gallon = 4 pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces weight

So,

4 pounds = 16 × 4 = 64 ounces weight

So, 1 gallon is equal to 64 ounces weight.

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces.
