This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ , and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

$p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (1)

After the collision:

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$m=1380 kg$ is the mass of the car

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

$M=1625 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$U_{o}=-26 m/s$ is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (3)

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-3.49 m/s$ The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

A small electric motor produces a force of 5 N that moves a remote-control car 5 m every second. How much power does the motor p

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force, f = 5 N

Velocity, v = 5 m/s

Power, p = energy/time

Energy = mass × acceleration × distance

Poer, p = force × velocity

= 5 × 5

= 25 W.

Note 1 watt = 0.00134 horsepower

But 25 watt,

0.00134 hp/1 watt × 25 watt

= 0.0335 hp.
