Answer:

C) 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=5000 kg

The initial velocity of 5000 kg car =u₁

m₂=10,000 kg

The initial velocity of 10000 kg car =u₂ = 0 m/s

After collision the final speed of the both car,v = 2 m/s

There is no any external force on the system that is why linear momentum will be conserved.

Linear momentum P = m v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m₁) v

5000 x u₁ + 10000 x 0 = (5000 + 10000) x 2

5000 x u₁ = 15000 x 2

5 x u₁ = 15 x 2

u₁ = 6 m/s

Therefore the answer is C.

C) 6 m/s

What is the stopping distance if the car is initially traveling at speed 6.0v? assume that the acceleration due to the braking i
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The distance for any rectilinear motion at constant acceleration is:

d = v₀t + 0.5at²
where
v₀ is the initial velocity

So, if v₀ = 6v, and it stopped to 0 m/s, then the acceleration is equal to:
a = (0 - 6v)/t = -6v/t
Thus,
d = (6v)(t) + (0.5)(-6v/t)(t²)
d = 6vt - 3t
<span>d = 3t(2v - 1)</span>

A jet plane acceleration along a straight run way from rest to a speed of 140 m/s in 50 seconds when it took off. Calculate:
labwork [276]

Answer:

Vf=140 m/s

Vi=0

t=50s

Explanation:

1. Acceleration is called change of velocity.

2. a=Vf-Vi/t

a=140-0/50

a=140/50

a=2.8m/s^2
