Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

The coefficients of friction between the load and the flatbed trailershown are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30. Knowing that the speed o
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

50.97 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of truck

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction = 0.4

v = Final velocity = 0

u = Initial velocity = 72 km/h = \dfrac{72}{3.6}=20\ \text{m/s}

s = Displacement

Force applied

F=ma

Frictional force

f=\mu_s mg

Now these forces act opposite to each other so are equal. This is valid for the case when the load does not slide

ma=\mu_s mg\\\Rightarrow a=\mu_s g\\\Rightarrow a=0.4\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=3.924\ \text{m/s}^2

Since the obect will be decelerating the acceleration will be -3.924\ \text{m/s}^2

From the kinematic equations we have

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-20^2}{2\times -3.924}\\\Rightarrow s=50.97\ \text{m}

So, the minimum distance at which the car will stop without making the load shift is 50.97 m.

Water is falling on a surface, wetting a circular area that is expanding at a rate of 4 mm2 /s. How fast is the radius of the we
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The radius of the wetter area expands at a rate of 4.244\times 10^{-3} milimeters per second when radius is 150 milimeters.

Explanation:

From Geometry we remember that area of a circle is described by this expression:

A =\pi\cdot r^{2} (Eq. 1)

Where:

r - Radius of the circle, measured in milimeters.

A - Area of the circle, measured in square milimeters.

Then, the rate of change of the area in time is derived by concept of rate of change, that is:

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi\cdot r\cdot \frac{dr}{dt} (Eq. 2)

Where:

\frac{dr}{dt} - Rate of change of radius in time, measured in milimeters per second.

\frac{dA}{dt} - Rate of change of area in time, measured in square milimeters per second.

Now the rate of change of radius in time is cleared within equation above:

\frac{dr}{dt} = \left(\frac{1}{2\pi\cdot r}\right)\cdot \frac{dA}{dt}

If we know that r = 150\,mm and \frac{dA}{dt} = 4\,\frac{mm^{2}}{s}, then the rate of change of radius in time is:

\frac{dr}{dt} = \left[\frac{1}{2\pi\cdot (150\,m)} \right] \cdot \left(4\,\frac{mm^{2}}{s} \right)

\frac{dr}{dt}\approx 4.244\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{mm}{s}

The radius of the wetter area expands at a rate of 4.244\times 10^{-3} milimeters per second when radius is 150 milimeters.

Answer:he curve changes noticeably about 7.5 billion years ago,

Explanation: when objects in the universe began flying apart as a faster rate. Astronomers theorize that the faster expansion rate is due to a mysterious, dark force that is pulling galaxies apart. One explanation for dark energy is that it is a property of space
