Two cars, one of mass 1300 kg, and the second of mass 2400 kg, are moving at right angles to each other when they collide and st

ick together. The initial velocity of the first car is 12 m/s in the positive x direction and that of the second car is 18 m/s in the positive y direction.
What is the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision?

To solve this problem we will apply the momentum conservation theorem, that is, the initial momentum of the bodies must be the same final momentum of the bodies. The value that will be obtained will be a vector value of the final speed of which the magnitude will be found later. Our values are given as,

m_1 = 1300kg

m_2 = 2400kg

u_1 = 12m/s i

u_2 = 18m/s j

Using conservation of momentum,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

1300*12i-2400*18j = (1300+2400)v_f

Solving for v_f

v_f = 4.2162i-11.6756j

Using the properties of vectors to find the magnitude we have,

|v| = \sqrt{(4.2162^2)+(-11.6756)^2}

|v| = 12.4135m/s

Therefore the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision is 12.4135m/s

Water is used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot. Why is water used as a coolant? A. Water is a good conductor. B
Mrac [35]

Water is usually used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot, yes. Therefore, that means water has a high heat capacity.

That makes the answer letter D you provided above.

D) Water has a high heat capacity.

Another example would be trying to put out a fire with a bucket of water. Usually, you can put out the fire debating on the size!

A and B are equivalent.  That's one way instruments are often grouped. (the "sopranos", the "altos", the "bass")

C is another way instruments are often grouped; (the "woods", the "brass")

D is another way instruments are often grouped; (the "strings", the "percussions")

Two horizontal metal plates, each 10.0 cm square, are aligned 1.00 cm apart with one above the other. They are given equal-magni
Ber [7]

Answer:

a) motion is PARABOLIC, b) positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,  c)  x = 6.19 10⁹ m

Explanation:

This exercise looks at the motion of a positively charged particle in an electric field.

a) Since the field is vertical the acceleration in this direction is

            F = m a

the electric force is

           F = q E

we substitute

          q E = m a

           a = qE / m

the mass of the particle is m = 2.00 10-16 kg

           a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.02 10³ / 2.00 10⁻¹⁶ kg

           a = 1,616 m / s²

           

on the x-axis there are no relationships because there are no forces.

Since the particle has velocities in both axes, its motion is PARABOLIC,

b) the positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,

The field is descending, for which the event is down

c) where  hit the particle on the x-axis

they indicate that the particle leaves the center of the negative plate, for which we will fix our reference system at this point.

Let's find the components of the initial velocity.

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v

           v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

           v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

           v_{oy) = 1.02 10⁵ sin 37 = 0.6139 10⁵ m / s

           v₀ₓ = 1.02 10⁵ cos 37 = 0.8146 10⁵ m / s

Let's find the time it takes to hit the negative plate

            y = y₀I + v_{oy} t + ½ a and t2

in this case the positions are y = y₀ = 0 and the accelerations

a = - 1,616m/s2,

we substitute

            0 = 0 + v_{oy} t - ½ a_y t²

            v_{oy}= ½ a_y t

            t = 2v_{oy} / a_y

let's calculate

           t = 2 0.6139 10⁵ / 1.616

           t = 7.597 10⁴s

in this time the particle travels a horizontal distance

           x = v₀ₓ t

           x = 0.8145 10⁵ 7.597 10⁴

           x = 6.19 10⁹ m

the particle falls off the plate
