Two vehicles approach a right angle intersection and then suddenly collide. After the collision, they become entangled. If their

mass ratios were 1:4 and their respective speeds as they approached the intersection were both 13 m/s, find the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the wreck.a. 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car. b. 16 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car. c. 16 m/s at 14° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.d. 11 m/s at 14° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car. e. 26 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

Answer:

a. 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

Explanation:

In this exercise, since both cars make a right angle, let's assume that the lighter car only has a horizontal velocity component (vx) and that the heavier one only has a vertical velocity component (vy). The final velocities for both components for the system can be determined as:

m_{1} v_{x1}+m_{2}v_{x2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fx}\\m_{1} v_{y1}+m_{2}v_{y2} =(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fy}

Assume that the lighter car has a 1kg mass and that the heavier car has a 4 kg mass.

1*13 + 4*0 = (1+4) v_{fx}\\v_{fx}=\frac{13}{5} =2.6\\1*0 + 4*13 = (1+4) v_{fy}\\v_{fy}=\frac{13*4}{5} =10.4\\

The magnitude of the final velocity of the wreck can be found as:

v_{f}^{2}= v_{fx}^{2}+ v_{fy}^{2}\\v_{f}=\sqrt[]{2.6^{2} + 10.4^{2}} \\v_{f}= 10.72

The final velocity has an intensity of roughly 11 m/s

As for the angle, it can be determined in respect to the lighter car (x axis) as follows:

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{v_{fx} }{v_{f}} )\\\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{2.6}{10.7} )\\\theta = 76^{o}

Therefore, the wreck has a velocity with an intensity of 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4

F1=884Hz

Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}.

Kinetic energy of system at first: \frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}. After: \frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)
