Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg
Initial velocity of the truck, u = 34 km/h = 9.44 m/s
Final velocity of the truck, v = 58 km/h = 16.11 m/s
(a) Change in truck's kinetic energy,
(b) Change in momentum of the truck,
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
distance = 6.1022 x10^16[m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the formula of the average speed which relates distance to time, so we have
v = distance / time
where:
v = velocity = 3 x 10^8 [m/s]
distance = x [meters]
time = 6.45 [light years]
Now we have to convert from light-years to seconds in order to get the distance in meters.
Now using the formula:
distance = v * time
distance = (3*10^8)*203407200
distance = 6.1022 x10^16[m]
