Answer:

The velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

let the following:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1400 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 3200 kg

u₁ = velocity of the car before collision = 13.7 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the truck before collision = 0 m/s

v₁ = velocity of the car after collision

v₂ = velocity of the truck after collision

v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

   =  [ 13.7 * (1400 - 3200) + 0 * 2 * 3200 ]/ (1400 + 3200)

   = - 5.36 m/s

So, <u>the velocity of the car after the collision is -5.36 m/s</u>

A card is drawn at random out of a​ well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Find the probability of drawing a six comma seven comma or e
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: \frac{3}{13}, or ~23.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in your average deck.

For this question, you need the numbers of the cards in the deck. There are four of each number from 2 through 10, and four aces, jacks, queens, and kings.

Considering there are four 6s, four 7s, and four 8s, there are 12 cards that fit the description.

Divide 12 by the total number of cards in the deck, 52, to get your answer.

The difference of 2 and the product of 3and k
allsm [11]
2-3k because the difference between something means it is subtraction and the product of 3 and k would just be 3k since you don't know what k is.
