A car of mass 1000kg is travelling in an eastward ( x) direction with a constant speed of 20m/s. It then hits a stationary truck

. The truck is twice as heavy as the car. After the collision, the car travels in a direction 300 North of East and the truck travels 600 South of East. (a) What are the final speeds of the car and the truck after collision

Answer:

4.33 m/s, 5 m/s

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 20 m/s along east

mass of truck, M = 2 x mass of car = 2000 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 0 m/s

After collision, the velocity of car is v and the direction is 30° North of east.

The velocity of truck is V and the direction is 60° South of east.

Use conservation of momentum along X axis.

m x u = m x v x Cos 30 + M x V x Cos 60

1000 x 20 = 1000 x v x 0.866 + 2000 x V x 0.5

20 = 0.866 v + V   .... (1)

Use conservation of momentum along y axis

0 = m x v x Sin 30 - M x V x Sin 60

0 = 1000 x v x 0.5 - 2000 x V x 0.866

v = 3.464 V    ..... (2)

Substitute the value of v in equation (1)

20 = 0.866 x 3.464 V + V

V = 5 m/s

v = 0.866 x 5 = 4.33 m/s

Thus, the final speed of car is 4.33 m/s and the final speed of truck is 5 m/s after the collision.

A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing
aalyn [17]

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar M=1.2\times10^3\ kg

velocity of racecar u=8\ m/s

mass of still honeybadger m=80\ kg

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of v_1=2\ m/s

conserving linear momentum

Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]

1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2

1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s

¿Qué cantidad de calor absorbió una masa de 4 g de cinc al pasar de 20 °C a<br> 180 °C?
Alborosie

(amount of heat)Q = ? , (Mass) m= 4 g , ΔT = T f - T i = 180 c° - 20 °c = 160 °c ,

Ce = 0.093 cal/g. °c

Q = m C ΔT

Q = 4 g × 0.093 cal/g.c° × ( 180 °c- 20 °c )

Q= 4×0.093 × 160

Q = 59.52 cal

I hope I helped you^_^
