Answer:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Explanation:
In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)
(1)
Where:
,
- Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.
,
- Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:





The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
I think this is correct, but I am not entirely certain.
Find the force constant of the spring:
F = - KX
(0 - 62.4) = -K(0.172m)
-362.791 = -K
362.791 N/m = K
Find the work done in stretching the spring:
W = (1/2)KX
W = (1/2)(362.791)(0.172m)
W = 31.2 J
Known :
l = 7 cm
w = 4 cm
Asked :
h = ...?
Answer :
V = B triangle × h (long)
35 = ½ × 4 × h × 7
35 = ½ × 28 × h
35 = 14 h
h = 35 ÷ 14
h = 2,5 cm
Sorry if I am wrong, I only study
