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>

State whether the given measurements determine zero, one, or two triangles.
Lady bird [3.3K]
I bet you're doing the Law of Sines right now. If you use the law of sines you find out that angle A is a 90 degree angle. There is only one triangle you can make with these measurements because if you have one angle of 30 and another of 90, the 3rd angle has to be a 60 degree angle. So it is a special right triangle, 30-60-90

Janie walks 1 mile to get to a running track.she then runs at a speed of 3.5 miles per hour.Which linear models represents the t
MrMuchimi

Answer:

d = 3.5t + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear function would have to multiply the speed she runs at the track by the number of hours that she spent running. Then it should add this amount to the 1 mile that she walked to get to the track. If we use the variable d as the total distance that she ran and walked, and the variable t to represent time then we would create the following linear function/model.

d = 3.5t + 1
