A 2300 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2400 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full pow

er and good tires on good pavement, the maximum forward force on the truck is 18,000 N.What is the maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV?

Answer:

3.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 2300 + 2400 = 4700 kg is the total mass of the truck+the SUV

F = 18,000 N is the force exerted by the engine (that must be used to accelerate both the truck and the SUV)

Therefore, the acceleration on the truck-SUV system is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{18,000}{4700}=3.8 m/s^2

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

   2. Water

   3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk  is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi
Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

where ;

m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial  velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2

Given in the question that;

m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?

Apply the formula as;

m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, what was its speed at the top of its path?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

0m/s

Explanation:

Since its fired at an angle, at the top there will be a split second where the velocity will be 0, as it has a parabolic shape, so the speed at the top of its path is 0
