Answer:

a=-5.3m/s2

Explanation:

F=-20N

m=3.75kg

a=?

F=am /:m

a=F/m

a=-20N/3.75kg

a=-5.3m/s2

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

viva [34]

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 is an independent variable ?

seropon [69]

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything. </span>
