A 1022kg Caprice car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg ranger truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. If the ca

r was in neutral and its brakes were off, so that the collision is approximately elastic, find the final speed of both vehicles after the collision.

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1022 kg

mass of truck, M = 1620 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 14.5 m/s

initial velocity of car, u = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of car is v and the final velocity of truck is V.

Collision is elastic, so the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use conservation of momentum

initial momentum of car + initial momentum of truck = final momentum of car + final momentum of truck

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0 + 1620 x 14.5 = 1022 v + 1620 V

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 V ..... (1)

Use the formula of coefficient of restitution

e = \frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

1 (14.5 - 0) = v - V

14.5 = v - V

V = v - 14.5 .... (2)

Put in equation (1)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 (v - 14.5)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 v - 23490

46980 = 2642 v

v = 17.8 m/s

Put in equation (2)

V = 17.8 - 14.5

V = 3.3 m/s

Thus, the speed of car is 17.8 m/s and the velocity of truck is 3.3 m/s after collision.

The force between the two objects is 19.73 nN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Any force acting between two objects tends to be directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects. And this kind of attraction force between two objects is termed as gravitational force.

So if we consider M_{1} and M_{2} as the masses of both objects and let d be the distance of separation of two objects. Then the force between the two objects can be determined as below:

                      \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{d^{2}}

As gravitational constant G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{m}^{3} \mathrm{kg}^{-1} \mathrm{s}^{-2}, M_{1} = 20 kg and  M_{2} = 100 kg, while d = 2.6 m, then

                    \text {Gravitational force}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 20 \times 100}{(2.6)^{2}}=\frac{6.67 \times 20 \times 10^{-9}}{6.76}

Thus, we get finally,

                   \text {Gravitational force}=19.73 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{N}

As we know, nano denoted by letter 'n' equals to 10^{-9}

So the force acting between two objects is 19.73 nN.

A billiard ball moving at 0.5 m/s strikes another identical billiard ball, which is at rest, in an elastic head-on collision on
NikAS [45]

Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.

Explanation: hope this helps!
