Car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear­ended by car B(mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locke

d wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a lowμk of 0.13) stops them, at distances and . What are the speeds of
(a) car A and
(b) car Bat the start of the sliding, just after the collision?
(c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during thecollision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.
(d) Explain why this assumption may be invalid.

Answer:

Part a)

v_a = 3.94 m/s

Part b)

v_b = 3.35 m/s

Part C)

v_b = 6.44 m/s

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that car A moves by distance 6.1 m after collision under the frictional force

so the deceleration due to friction is given as

a = -\frac{F_f}{m}

a = -\frac{\mu mg}{m}

a = - \mu g

now we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

0 - v_i^2 = 2(-\mu g)(6.1)

v_a = \sqrt{(2(0.13)(9.81)(6.1)}

v_a = 3.94 m/s

Part b)

Similarly for car B the distance of stop is given as 4.4 m

so we will have

v_b = \sqrt{2(0.13)(9.81)(4.4)}

v_b = 3.35 m/s

Part C)

By momentum conservation we will have

m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

1400 v_b = 1100(3.94) + 1400(3.35)

v_b = 6.44 m/s

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.

What are the properties of sound waves and how do they affect the sound?
Marina86 [1]
The more sound waves a sound produces, the higher the pitch. Meaning if a sound has a high frequency, it will produce a high-pitched, shrill sound, while sounds with a lower frequency produce lower, deeper sounds, like bass sounds. ( i hope this helps)

At which position would a person on Earth be able to view a solar eclipse?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
sweet-ann [11.9K]
The answer would be A, since at that position the Earth is fully/partially being engulfed in a shadow cast by the moon from the sun’s rays.

Hope this helps!

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, the core will most likely become a _____.
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, the core will most likely become a black hole. Black holes form when stars explode, and create these areas of such intense gravitational fields that absolutely nothing can escape them if they approach a black hole. Anything near a black hole will disappear without a trace and possibility of ever being found.Although we still don't know much about black holes, we certainly know that nothing can survive the impact.</span>
