For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then

keeps moving and pushes the car along with it. if there are no other forces acting on this system, describe the results of the collision?

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the truck, m₁ = 2000 kg

Mass of the stopped car, m₂ = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the truck, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of the car, u₂ = 0 (at rest)

As there is no other forces acting on this system, the momentum remains constant. Let v is the combined speed of the system after the collision. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

2000\times 10+1000\times 0=(1000+2000)v

v = 6.667 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the combined mass is 6.667 m/s and the speed of the combined mass is less than initial speed.

ANSWER

Both trucks will move together with speed v = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

EXPLANATION

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two trucks

So here momentum of the two trucks before collision and after collision will remain same

So here we will have

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

so here we will have

v_{1i} = 10 m/s

v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 2000 kg

m_2 = 1000 kg

now we will have

2000\times 10 + 1000\times 0 = (2000 + 1000) v

v = \frac{20000}{3000} = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

In a house 5 bulbs of 25 watts each are used for 6 hours a day.Calculate the unit of electricity consumed in a month of 30 days.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

(5 bulbs) x (25 watt/bulb) x (6 hour/day) x (30 day/month) =

             (5 x 25 x 6 x 30) watt-hour/month =

                 22,500 watt-hour/month .

The most common unit of electrical energy used for billing purposes
is the 'kilowatt-hour' = 1,000 watt-hours .

               22,500 watt-hour/month =  <em>22.5 kWh/month</em>.

             (22.5 kWh/month) x (1.50 Rs/kWh) =  <em>33.75 Rs / month

kompoz [17]

Answer:

103063860 Pa

Explanation:

\rho = Density of seawater = 1030 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Depth at which pressure is being measured = 10.2 km

The gauge pressure is given by

p=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow p=1030\times 9.81\times 10.2\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow p=103063860\ Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure at a depth of 10.2 km is 103063860 Pa
