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

1. ¿Qué presión se ejerce sobre cada una de las cuatro patas de una mesa si su masa es de 20 kg y
mestny [16]
Tenemos.

Masa de la mesa = 20kg
Masa encima = 10kg
Masa total = 30kg
Area de cada pata = 20cm² = 20cm² * 1/10000cm² * 1m² =0,002m²

Presió(P)n que se ejerce sobre cada pata.

P =F/A
P = Masa por gravedad/A Masa = 30kg Gravedad =9,8m/s²
P =(30kg * 9,8m/s²)/0,002m²
P = 294kg * m/s²/0,002m² Pero kg *m/s² = Nw
P = 294Nw0,002m²
P = 147000 Nw/m² Pero Nw/m² = pa
p =1,47 * 10⁵ pa

Respuesta.
La presión que se ejerce sobre cada pata es de 1,47 * 10⁵pa
