I think it's B ,go to physicsclassroom.com Newton's second law
Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum
must be equal to the final momentum
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck
(3)
(4)
Isolating
:
(5)
(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
1.
m = mass of Mr. Ure = 65 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
force of earth's gravity on Mr. Ure is given as
F = mg
F = 65 x 9.8
F = 637 N
2.
F = force of gravity on car = 3050 N
m = mass of the car = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
force of gravity on car is given as
F = mg
3050 = m (9.8)
m = 3050/9.8
m = 311.22 kg
3.
m = mass of Mr. Rees = 90 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
force of earth's gravity on Mr. Rees is given as
F = mg
F = 90 x 9.8
F = 882 N
GPE=mgh
m= 12.5kg
g= 9.81 always
h=?
568=12.5*9.81*h
Solve for h
You will get 4.63m
