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.

raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination \theta =11.1^{\circ}

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.39

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using v^2-u^2=2as

Final velocity v=0

0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s

s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}

s=0.68 m

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

Answer: Solution W and Y solution have more solubility than X and Z

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more components. By uniform mix we mean that its structure and properties are the same in the whole mix. Generally, the component which is present in the largest quantity is known as solvent. Solvent determines the physical condition in which the solution exists. In addition to the solvent, one or more component present in the solution is called solutes. In this unit we will only consider binary solutions (i.e., with two components)

The structure of the solution can be described by expressing its concentration. The latter can either be expressed qualitatively or quantitatively. For example, in qualitatively we can say that the solution is diluted (i.e., relatively small amounts of solubility) or it is concentrated (i.e., relatively rarely sighs). But in real life such details may be very confusing and thus require a quantitative description of the solution. There are several ways that we can quantitatively describe the concentration of solutions. (i) Mass Percentage (W / W): The mass percentage of a component of the solution is defined as: mass of the component = mass of the component in the solution = 100 Total mass of the solution .For example, if by mass A solution is described by 10% glucose in water, it means that 10 grams of glucose dissolved in 90 grams of water, resulting in 100 grams of solution. The concentration described by a large percentage of the population is usually used in industrial chemical applications. For example, the commercial bleaching solution contains 3.62 mass percentages of sodium hypochlorite in water. (ii) Volume Percentage (V / V): Volume Percentage is defined as: Total Volume of Component Volume 100 (component) Volume% of Component
