Speed = m/s
Velocity can be negative, but speed cannot.
70 - 68 = 2
2/14 = 0.143 m/s
Vertical forces:
There is a force of 579N acting upward, and a force of 579N
acting downward.
The vertical forces are balanced ... they add up to zero ...
so there's no vertical acceleration.
Not up, not down.
Horizontal forces:
There is a force of 487N acting to the left, and a force of 632N
acting to the right.
The net horizontal force is
(487-left + 632-right) - (632-right - 487-right) = 145N to the right.
The net force on the car is all to the right.
The car accelerates to the right.
Answer:
change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
Explanation:
Let's look for the speed of the car
F = m a
a = F / m
We use kinematics to find lips
v = v₀ + a t
v = v₀ + (F / m) t
The moment is defined by
p = m v
The moment change
Δp = m v - m v₀
Let's replace the speeds in this equation
Δp = m (v₀
+ F / m t) - m v₀
Δp = m v₀ + F t - m v₀
Δp = F t
We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
