Two identical cars A and B are at rest on a loading dock with brakes released. Car C, of a slightly different style but of the s

ame weight, has been pushed by dockworkers and hits car B with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. Knowing that the coefficient of restitution is 0.8 between B and C, and it is 0.5 between A and B, determine the velocity of each car after all collisions have taken place

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after first collision be v₁ and v₂ of car A and B . car A will bounce back .

velocity of approach = 1.5 - 0 = 1.5

velocity of separation = v₁ + v₂

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.8 = v₁ + v₂ / 1.5

v₁ + v₂ = 1.2

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.5 + 0 = mv₂ - mv₁

1.5 = v₂ - v₁

adding two equation

2 v ₂= 2.7

v₂ = 1.35 m /s

v₁ = - .15 m / s

During second collision , B will collide with stationary A . Same process will apply in this case also. Let velocity of B and A after collision be v₃ and v₄.

For second collision ,

coefficient of restitution = velocity of separation / velocity of approach

.5 = v₃ + v₄ / 1.35

v₃ + v₄ = .675

applying law of conservation of momentum

m x 1.35 + 0 = mv₄ - mv₃

1.35 = v₄ - v₃

adding two equation

2 v ₄= 2.025

v₄ = 1.0125 m /s

v₃ = - 0 .3375  m / s

A runner completes the 200-meter dash with a time of 19.80 seconds. What was the runner's average speed in miles per hour?
andriy [413]

Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.

If a battery is running down, a light bulb in the circuit will become dimmer because when voltage drops
lana [24]
A. There is less current flowing through the bulb.

Ohms law dictates that Electrical voltage = current x resistance. To understand current you would divide voltage by resistance. The less voltage the less current will run through the circuit.

Mark as brainliest if satisfied.

Any push or pull on an object is Question 5 options: Acceleration Velocity Force Inertia
Kobotan [32]
This would be force. Acceleration is increasing the speed in an object and velocity is how fast an object is going. Also, inertia basically says that an object will stay at rest or in motion unless an outside force acts on it. So, for example, a ball will stay in the air unless gravity acts on it and pulls it down. By definition, force is any action, unopposed (or by itself without any other forces that would do the opposite) will change the motion of an object, so this definitely makes the most sense for the question. Hope this helps!

Jim thinks that he can throw a baseball six meters per second. What does the six meters refer to?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Six meters refers to the distance the baseball travels in one second.

Explanation:

6 m/s means that every second, the baseball travels 6m. So, 6 meters is the distance traveled in one second.
