The two cars collide at right angles in the intersection of two icy roads. Car A has a mass of 1965 kg and car B has a mass of 1

245 kg. The cars become entangled and move off together with a common velocity in the direction indicated. If car A was traveling 52 km/h at the instant of impact, compute the corresponding velocity of car B just before impact.

Answer:

U2 = 47.38m/s = initial velocity of B before impact

Explanation:

An example of the diagram is shown in the attached file because of missing angle of direction in the question

Mass A, B are mass of cars

A = 1965

B =1245

U1 = initial velocity of A = 52km/hr

U2 = initial velocity of B

V = common final velocity of two cars

BU2 = (A + B)*V sin ¤ ...eq1 y plane

AU1 = (A + B) *V cos ¤ ....equ 2plane

From equ 2

V = AU1/(A + B)*cos ¤

Substitute V into equation 1

We have

U2 = (AU1/B)tan ¤ where ¤ = angle of direction which is taken to be 30°

Substitute all parameters to get

U2 = (1965/1245)*52 * tan 30°

U2 = 47.38m/s

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

How does the Sun's gravity influence tides?
nevsk [136]

Answer: <em>Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moon's gravity. ... This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season.</em>
