Answer:
A. 
B. 
C. ΔK
Explanation:
From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

From linear momentum we got that:




B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:
For the car

For the truck

C. The change in kinetic energy is:
ΔK=
ΔK=
ΔK
Answer:
-4*10⁴ units.
Explanation:
As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must still remain to be zero.
So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.
The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N
The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N
The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.
For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
