Answer:
The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg
Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s
The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg
Initial speed of the car, u' = 0
We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.
So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.
Answer:
The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is
54.06 Joules.
Explanation:
Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₁ = =
= 19.44 J in the x direction
Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₂ = =
= 73.5 J in the y direction
Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final
= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J
