15) A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the +x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13 m/s in the same direction. If

the second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first car

M1= 328kg

The car is moving in positive direction of x axis with velocity

U1 = 19.1m/s

Velocity of second car

U2 = 13m/s, in the same direction as the first car..

Mass of second car

M2 = 790kg

Velocity of second car after collision

V2 = 15.1 m/s

Velocity of first car after collision

V1 =?

This is an elastic collision,

And using the conservation of momentum principle

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = P(after)

M1•U1 + M2•U2 = M1•V1 + M2•V2

328 × 19.1 + 790 × 13 = 328 × V1 + 790 × 15.1

16534.8 = 328•V1 + 11929

328•V1 = 16534.8—11929

328•V1 = 4605.8

V1 = 4605.8/328

V1 = 14.04 m/s

The velocity of the first car after collision is 14.04 m/s

Planet A is heavier than Planet B

Because Planet A is heavier than Planet B, Planet B will be easier to be moved by gravity causing it to move faster than Planet A.

Two identical stones are thrown from the top of a tall building. Stone 1 is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed v,
Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

v= \frac{1}{2}gt

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.

What is a Vector and a scalar?
vfiekz [6]
Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

A 12 n cart is moving on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.20. what force of friction must be ove
jonny [76]

We must remember that the total net force equation at constant velocity is:

<span>F – Ff = 0</span>

of

F - µN = 0

Using Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:<span>

F = m a 

<span>Where,

F = net force acting on the body 
m = mass of the body 
a = acceleration of the body 

Since the cart is moving at a constant velocity, then acceleration is zero, hence the working equation simplifies to 

F = net Force = 0 

Therefore, 

F - µN = 0 

where 

µ = coefficient of friction = 0.20 
N = normal force acting on the cart = 12 N 

Therefore, 

F - 0.20(12) = 0 

<span>F = 2.4 N </span></span></span>
