Answer:

Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

Explanation:

Suppose A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s.

Given that,

Mass of first wagon = 1200 kg

Mass of second wagon = 180 kg

Distance = 40 m

We need to calculate the position of the center of mass of the system

Using formula of center mass

x_{cm}=\dfrac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

x_{cm}=\dfrac{1200\times0+1800\times40}{1200+1800}

x_{cm}=24\ m

Hence, Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.

A car traveling at 30 m/s speeds up to 35 m/s over a period of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

u =30 m/s

v = 35 m/s

t = 5 secs

Explanation:

a = (v- u)/t

a = (35-30)/5

a = 5/5

a = 1 m/s^2
