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.

Alan starts from his home and walks 1.3 km east to the library. He walks an additional 0.68 km east to a music store. From there
zepelin [54]

Answer: final Displacement = 0 km, total distance covered =7 km

Explanation:

Given the following :

From home to library = 1.3 km East

Library to music store = 0.68km East

Music store to friend's house = 1.1km North

Friend's house to grocery store = 0.42 km North

Displacement is the net change in distance traveled.

Eastward distance :

To = (1.3 + 0.68)km = 1.98km East

Fro = (0.68 + 1.3)km = 1.98 km East

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Northward direction:

To = (1.1 + 0.42)km = 1.52km north

Fro = (0.42 + 1.1)km = 1.52km North

Δ distance = (1.98 - 1.98) = 0

Hence final Displacement = 0

Total distance covered = 2 × (1.3 + 0.68 + 1.1 + 0.42) = 2 × 3.5

= 7km

A car is driving along a road at a speed of 50 km/hr. How far will the car travel in 5 hours?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I think it's 250

Explanation:

If the car is traveling 50 km/hr that means every hour, the car drives 50 km. So if you want to know how far it will go in 5 hours you do 50x5.
