Two cars (with masses 2000 kg and 1000 kg) collide head on an icy road. Before the collision, the more massive vehicle was movin

g at 10 m/s to the right and the less massive vehicle was moving at 15 m/s to the left. Immediately after the collision, the more massive vehicle was moving at 7.0 m/s to the left. How fast was the less massive Vehicle immediately after the collision?

Answer:

v₂' = 19 m/s

Explanation:

given,                    

mass of car one = m₁ = 2000 Kg

mass of car two = m₂ = 1000 Kg

velocity of car one in right (v₁) = 10 m/s

velocity of car two in left (v₂)= 15 m/s

after collision                        

velocity(v₁') = 7 m/s

v₂' = ?                            

using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

2000 x 10 - 1000 x 15 = - 2000 x 7 + 1000 v₂'

1000 v₂' = 19000

v₂' = 19 m/s

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Initially a car accelerates at 2 m/s2 for x seconds. The car then travels at a velocity of -6 m/s for x seconds. If the car disp
Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}

t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s

Check

t_{2}=8s

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}

x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16

A spinning turbine at an electrical plant produces energy that flows through wires to your house. The energy in the wires can be
Anna007 [38]

The spinning turbine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that is converted into light energy used to light up the house.

<h3>What is law conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The spinning turbine works on the principle of mechanical energy.

Thus, the spinning turbine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that is converted into light energy used to light up the house.
