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.

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during
attashe74 [19]

<u>Answer:</u>

The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during "how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Moon is in sequential rotation with Earth, and thus displays the Sun, the close side, always on the same side. Thanks to libration, Earth can display slightly greater than half (nearly 59 per cent) of the entire lunar surface.

The side of the Moon facing Earth is considered the near side, and the far side is called the reverse. The far side is often referred to as the "dark side" inaccurately but it is actually highlighted as often as the near side: once every 29.5 Earth days. During the New Moon the near side becomes blurred.

Hooke’s law describes the linear relationship between stress and strain through Young’s modulus. Given two materials under the s
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The material with higher modulus will stretch less than

The material with lower modulus

Explanation:

A material with a higher modulus is stiffer and has better resistance to deformation. The modulus is defined as the force per unit area required to produce a deformation or in other words the ratio of stress to strain.

E= stress/stain

Hooks law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded the extension e of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached

F=ke

Where k is the constant which gives the measure of the spring under tension
