Answer:
t = 0.33h = 1200s
x = 18.33 km
Explanation:
If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:
car 1:
(1)
xo = 10 km
v1 = 55km/h
car 2:
(2)
v2 = 85km/h
For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:
The position in which both cars coincides is:
Answer:
B. 1500 kg*m/s
Explanation:
Momentum p = m* v
In any type of collision, the total momentum is preserved!
The total momentum before and the total momentum after the collision is the same. We know the mass and speed after the collision so we can calculate the total momentum.
p1 + p2 =
m1*v1 + m2*v2
m1 = me = 300 kg
v1 = 3 m/s
v2 = 2 m/s
Substitute the given numbers:
300*3 + 300+2
900 + 600
1500 kg*m/s, which is answer B.
