Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

A  1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is intially at rest at a spotlight. The car and the truck stick together and move together after the collison. Therefore, the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass​ is 3.75 m/s south.

Answer:

3.75 m/s south

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Since the car and truck stick together, v₁ = v₂.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v

Given m₁ = 1500 kg, u₁ = -15 m/s, m₂ = 4500 kg, and u₂ = 0 m/s:

(1500 kg) (-15 m/s) + (4500 kg) (0 m/s) = (1500 kg + 4500 kg) v

-22500 kg m/s = 6000 kg v

v = -3.75 m/s

The final velocity is 3.75 m/s to the south.

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these
goblinko [34]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity. This can be defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. Mathematically it can be written as,

\Delta L = 10log(n)

\Delta L = Level Difference

n = Number of equal loud sound sources

n = 15

Therefore replacing we have,

\Delta L = 10 log (n)\\\Delta L = 10 log (15)\\\Delta L = 10*1.176\\\Delta L = 11.76dB

Therefore over 100dB the total difference intensity level would be

L_T = L_0 -\Delta L

Here,

L_0 = \text{ Total intensity}

\L_T = 100 -11.76

_T= 88.24dB

The intensity level generated by one engine is

L_T = 88.44dB

What is the original source of energy for gasoline?
Yuki888 [10]
Gasoline comes from petroleum, which is a fossil fuel. Petroleum, coal and natural gas (methane) are all made in the earth's crust from the bodies of plants and animals that died long ago. That's why they are called fossil fuels.

The sun provides the energy that all life needs to grow and reproduce. Therefore, fossil fuels can be considered a form of solar energy that has been stored in the bodies of living things, and then concentrated in hydrocarbon deposits in the earth's crust.

The fact is that all the energy on earth comes from the sun, directly or indirectly, except for nuclear energy, which comes from radioactive elements that were made in other stars that existed before the sun.

Hope this helps!!!

Please help me with the following question:
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: a. 667N

b. 665N

c. 54.5N

Explanation:

a) on the surface of the earth

W = mg

W = 68 × 9.81

= 667N

b) at the top of Everest (8848 m above sea level).

W =mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × [6378²/(6378 + 8.848)²

W = 665N

c) has 2 1/2 times the radius of the earth

W = mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × R²/(R + 2.5R)²

W = 54.5N

An athlete whose mass is 87.0 kg is performing weight-lifting exercises. Starting from the rest position, he lifts, with constan
expeople1 [14]

Answer: X = 52,314.12 N

Explanation: Let X be the force the feet of the athlete exerts on the floor.

According to newton's third law of motion the floor gives an upward reaction based on the weight of the athlete and the barbell which is known as the normal reaction ( based on the mass of the athlete and the barbell)

Mass of athlete = 87kg, mass of barbell = 600/ hence total normal reaction from the floor = 87* 61.22/ 9.8 *9.8 = 52,200N.

The athlete lifts the barbell from rest thus making it initial velocity u=0, distance covered = S = 0.65m and the time taken = 1.3s

The acceleration of the barbell is gotten by using the equation of constant acceleration motion

S= ut + 1/2at²

But u = 0

S = 1/2at²

0.65 = 1/2 *a (1.3)²

0.65 = 1.69 * a/2

0.65 * 2 = 1.69 * a

a = 0.65 * 2/ 1.69

a = 0.77m/s²

According to newton's second law of motion

Resultant force = mass * acceleration

And resultant force in this case is

X - 52,200 = (87 + 61.22) * 0.77

X - 52,200 = 148.22 * 0.77

X - 52, 200 = 114.132

X = 114.132 + 52,200

X = 52,314.12 N
