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

An automobile traveling along a straight road increases its speed from 72 ft/s to 84 ft/s in 180 ft. if the acceleration is cons
Nikolay [14]
The equation that would allow us to calculate for the acceleration given the distance is written below,

      a = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2d

where a is the acceleration, Vf is the final velocity, Vo is the initial velocity, and d is distance. 

Substituting the known values,
    a = ((84 ft/s)² - (72 ft/s)²) / 2(180 ft) = 5.2 ft/s²

Then, the equation that would relate the initial velocity, distance, acceleration and time is calculated through the equation,
      
     d = Vot + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
    180 = 72(t) + 0.5(5.2)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 2.3 s

<em>ANSWER: 2.3 s</em>

How does Newton's third law of motion describe forces?
svetlana [45]
I would say your answer is B, since Newton's 3rd law is, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
It's talking about pairs of actions. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

E = 1.711 MeV

Explanation:

From the law of the conservation of energy:

K.E_{e}+K.E_p + E_{e}+E_{p} = 2 E

where,

K.E_e=K.Ep= the kinetic energy of positron and electron = 1.2 MeV

E_e=E_p = Rest energy of the electron and the positron = 0.511 MeV

E = Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

1.2\ MeV + 1.2\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV = 2E\\\\E = \frac{3.422\ MeV}{2}\\\\

<u>E = 1.711 MeV</u>
