A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is at rest at a stopligt. The car comes to a

stop but imparts all it’s mometum to the truck. How fast is the truck moving after the collision and in which direction? (Hint: this is an elastic collision)
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1 + m2v1

Answer:

5 m/s, moving to the South.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 15 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 4500 kg

Initial velocity of truck, v = 0 m/s (Truck is at rest)

Final velocity of car, U = 0 m/s (Car comes to a stop)

Final velocity of truck = V

Because the collision is elastic, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum, we have that:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1500 * 15) + (4500 * 0) = (1500 * 0) + (4500 * V)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 00V

=> V = 22500/4500

V = 5 m/s

The velocity carries a positive sign, hence, it's moving in the same direction as the car was moving initially.

That is, it's moving to the South.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

5m/s to the south

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that the total momentum of colliding bodies before collision is equal to the total momentum of these bodies after collision. In other words, given two bodies of masses m₁ and m₂ and initial velocities u₁ and u₂ respectively. When these two bodies collide and they begin to move with final velocities of v₁ and v₂ respectively, the momentum before they collide is equal to the momentum after they collide. i.e

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂        ------------------(i)

From the question, the bodies are a car and a truck.

Therefore;

m₁ = mass of car = 1500kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 4500kg

u₁ = initial velocity of the car = +15.0m/s (taking due south as positive)

u₂ = initial velocity of the truck = 0m/s  (since the tuck is at rest)

v₁ = final velocity of the car = 0m/s (since the car comes to a stop)

v₂ = final velocity of the truck

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

1500(15.0) + 4500(0) = 1500(0) + 4500(v₂)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 4500v₂

22500 = 4500v₂

Solve for v₂;

v₂ = \frac{22500}{4500}

v₂ = +5m/s

Therefore, the velocity at which the truck is moving is 5m/s and since this value is positive and south is taken as positive, the truck is moving south.

A person throws a balloon straight down above level ground. The balloon bounces back up into the air. Drag force is significant
love history [14]

Explanation:

   a) Balloon is being thrown down and is speeding up;

           mg > F_drag

  b) Balloon is in the air on its way down and moving with constant speed.

           F_drag =mg

  c) The Balloon is on the ground and rest instantaneously

           mg = Normal

  d) Balloon is moving slowly downward;

   e) Because, at the peak of trajectory drag force  is 0.

             Drag force = 0

A Tesla Roadster car accelerates from rest at a rate of 7.1m/s for a time of 3.9s
liberstina [14]

The distance covered is 54.0 m

Explanation:

Since the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=7.1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 3.9 s is the time

Substituting, we find s:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(7.1)(3.9)^2=54.0 m

When you graph the motion of an object, you put _____ on the horizontal X axis and ____ on the vertical Y axis
wel
It depends upon the type of graph that you are talking about,

If the graph is Velocity - Time graph, then time lies on the X axis and speed on the Y axis.

If it is Distance - Time graph, the time lies on the X axis and distance on the Y axis.

But generally, it is ALWAYS TIME IN THE ‘X’ AXIS AND DISTANCE ON THE ‘Y’ AXIS.
