Answer:

the two vehicles will be moving at a speed of 6.16  m/s

Explanation:

This is a case of completely inelastic collision, therefore, the conservation of momentum can be written as:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f

which given the information provided results into:

m_1\,v_1+m_2\,v_2=(m_1+m_2)\,v_f\\(1250)\,(0)+(3550)\,(8.33)=(1250+3550)\,v_f\\29571.5=4800\,v_f\\v_f=6.16\,\,m/s

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In order to measure the amount of solution added in or drained out, the burette must be observed at eye level straight to the bottom of the meniscus. The liquid in the burette should be completely free of bubbles to ensure accurate measurements.
