A 2137 kg car moving east at 12.91 m/s collides with a 3264 kg car moving north. The cars stick together and move as a unit afte

r the collision, at an angle of 36.8 ◦ north of east and at a speed of 6.38 m/s. What was the speed of the 3264 kg car before the collision? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

The speed of the 3264 kg car before collision is 6.32 m/s

Explanation:

Let first car, mass m₁, moving east be moving with velocity, v₁ and second car, mass m₂, moving north be moving with velocity, v₂. Let the velocity of the two cars after collision be v₃

In a Collison (whether elastic or inelastic), momentum is always conserved.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

Momentum before collision = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

v₁ = (12.91î) m/s in vector form, m₁ = 2137 kg

v₂ = ?, v₂ = (v₂j) m/s in vector form, m₂ = 3264 kg

Momentum before collision = (2137)(12.91î) + (3264)(v₂j) = (27590î + 3264v₂j) kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (total mass of the cars after collision) × (velocity of the stuck-together cars after collision)

Total mass of the cars after collision = m₁ + m₂ = 2137 + 3264 = 5401 kg

Velocity after collision, v₃ = 6.38 m/s In the N36.8°E direction, put in vector form,

v₃ = (6.38 cos 36.8°î + 6.38 sin 36.8°j)

v₃ = (5.11î + 3.82j) m/s

Momentum after collision = 5401 (5.11î + 3.82j) = (27590î + 20641.4j) kgm/s

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

(27590î + 3264v₂j) = (27590î + 20641.4j)

Comparing components

3264v₂ = 20641.4j

v₂ = 6.32 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

how do you find work when only given the angle a sled is pulled, the mass, the coefficent of kinetic friction and distance
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

W = F * s    

Work done equals applied force * distance traveled

Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ)     since some of applied force will lighten sled

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled

s = distance traveled

[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled

Note that F = μ M g    if applied force is in the horizontal direction

Rank the tensions in the ropes, t1, t2, and t3, from smallest to largest, when the boxes are in motion and there is no friction
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>
