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.

A.) Determine the work done by Zach on the bull.
Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

Work done is a physical quantity that is defined as the force applied to move a body through a particular distance.

Work is only done when the force applied moves a body through a distance.

    Work done  = Force x distance

The maximum work is done when the force is parallel to the distance direction.

The minimum work is done when the force is at an angle of 90° to the distance direction.

 So to solve this problem;

 multiply the force applied by Zack and distance through which the bull was pulled.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

First uncaused cause

Explanation:

Aristotle states that an infinite regression in the principle of causality is not possible. If the regression were infinite, then there would never be a first cause (mover), since this would need another mover to start its motion. Therefore, according to Aristotle, there must be an unmoved mover that moves other things, but is not itself moved by any prior action,
