Answer:

Around 3.57m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

Let's denote the momentum, mass, and velocity of the car with the subscript 1, and for the truck use 2. After the collision, the combined momentum can be denoted with the subscript 3.

p_1=1200\cdot 9=10800 \\\\p_2=1600\cdot 13=20800 \\\\20800-10800=10000 \\\\1200kg+1600kg=2800kg \\\\10000=2800v_3 \\\\v_3\approx 3.57m/s

Hope this helps!

An elephant pushes with 200 N on a load of trees. it then pushes these trees for 10 N. How much work did the elephant do?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

the answer is 2000Nm

Explanation:

wprk done = force × distance moved

w.d = 200N × 10m

w.d = 2000Nm

Nat2105 [25]

<u>Answer</u>:

The stream flowing  at a speed of 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given:  

Distance = 2km (both in upstream and downstream)  

The speed in still water be x km/hr.  

The speed in upstream = 4-x  

Speed in downstream = 4+x  

Solution:

We know that, Speed = distance/time  

So, Time = distance/speed

Therefore,  

2=\left(\frac{2}{4-x}\right)+\left(\frac{2}{4+x}\right)

2=\frac{2(4+x)+2(4-x)}{(4-x)(4+x)}

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x)+2(4-x)

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x+4-x)

By cancelling 2 on both sides,

16-x^{2}=8

x^{2}=16-8=8

x=\sqrt{8}

x=2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

Result:

Thus the speed of the stream is 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}
