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

a crowbar of 2 meter is used to lift an object of 800N if the effort arm is 160cm , calculste the effort applied
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

The crowbar is 2 meter, or 200 cm.  The effort arm is 160 cm, so the moment arm of the object is 40 cm.

(800 N) (40 cm) = F (160 cm)

F = 200 N

Xelga [282]

Answer:

0.0002

Explanation:

First you have to solve exponents first, so you solve 10 to the power of negative 4 which is 0.0001 and now you have 2.0x0.0001 and that equals 0.0002

2H, +0,-&gt; 2H,0<br> How many hydrogen atoms are on the left side of the equation?
marin [14]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen gives water (H2O)

2H,+O, -> 2H2O

Oxygen is a gas O, = O2

Balancing both sides

let , be x

2x = 4

x =  \frac{4}{2}

x= 2

Therefore, 2H2 = 4 hydrogen

Particle A has half the mass and eight times the kinetic energy of particle B. What is the speed ratio vA / vB?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Use the equation "KE=½mv²", and use some algebra. > "Particle A has two times the mass...of particle B" mA = 2mB > "Particle A has...8 situations the kinetic power of particle B" KE_A = 8(KE_B) or: ½(mA)(vA)² = 8(½(mB)(vB)²) the rest is uncomplicated algebra: in basic terms sparkling up the above equation for "vA/vB". (hint: start up by utilising dividing the two factors by utilising "(mB)(vB)²". Then make the substitution: mA/mB = 2 (from the 1st eq0.5 ma *  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * mb * VB^2

0.5 * 0.5*mb *  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * mb * VB^2

0.5 * 0.5*  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * VB^2

VA/VB = 4uation))
