1. A 4000-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 20 m/s due south collides headon with a 1350-kg car traveling with a velocity of

10 m/s due north. The two vehicles stick together after the collision. a. What is the momentum of each vehicle prior to the collision? b. What are the size and direction of the total momentum of the two vehicles after they collide?

(a) The momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) The size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Explanation:

The mass of the truck moving due south is given as 4000 kg and the speed is 20 m/s. Similarly, the mass of the car moving due north is 1350 kg and the speed is 10 m/s.

(a) Then the momentum of each vehicle can be obtained by the product of mass with their respective speed.

Momentum of truck = Mass * Speed = 4000 * 20 =80000  kgm/s

Similarly, the momentum of car will be

Momentum of car = 1350 * 10 = 13500 kgm/s

So, the momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) Since, after collision, the vehicles stick together, the momentum after collision will be equal to the total momentum of both the vehicles before collision. This is because, it will obey conservation of momentum.

Momentum of vehicles after collision = total momentum before collision

Momentum after collision = 80000+13500 = 93500 kgm/s.

The direction of the vehicles after collision will be towards south as the mass and speed of the truck is greater than car. So the impact or force exerted on the car by the truck will be greater and thus both the vehicles will be directed towards south after collision.

Thus, the size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

devlian [24]

Answer:

So, this is not the answer because I suck like that (hehe >:3) but here's some helps.

Explanation:

1. The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object as shown in the formula below.

2. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object is not accelerating, and is in a state known as equilibrium.

3. This will be were you use the info I gave to figure it out. I hope this wasn't completely unhelpful.

Find the pressure exerted by a force 8000 newton's on an area of 25m^2. Give your answer in newton's/n^2
Vanyuwa [196]

The pressure exerted by this force is equal to 320 N/m^2.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force = 8000 Newton.
  • Area = 25 m^2.

To calculate the pressure exerted by this force:

<h3>How to calculate pressure.</h3>

Mathematically, pressure is given by this formula:

P=\frac{F}{A}

<u>Where:</u>

  • P is the pressure.
  • F is the force.
  • A is the area.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have:

P = \frac{8000}{25}

P = 320 N/m^2.

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}
