A 3 kg toy car with a speed of 7 m/s collides head-on with a 2 kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 5 m/s.

If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 2.20 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?

Answers:

kinetic energy lost = 86.4J

Explanation:

let Kf be the kinetic energy after the collision and Ki be the kinetic energy before the collision. let the 3kg car be 1 and 2kg car be 2.

Kf = K1(f) + K2(f)

Ki = K1(i) + k2(i)

loss in kinetic energy = Kf - Ki

                                 = 1/2(3)(2.20)^2 + 1/2(2)(2.20)^2 - 1/2(3)(7)^2 - 1/2(2)(-5)^2

                                 = 12.1 - 98.5

                                 = -86.4 J

therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 86.4 J.

From the front door to his current position, Aaron's Distance is 4m. and his Displacement is 4m.

Distance is a measure of how far apart two objects or locations are using numbers. The distance can refer to a physical length in physics or to an estimate based on other factors in common usage. Sometimes, the symbol |AB| is used to represent the distance between two points.

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that have a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions.

Given,

Length of path  = 4m

Distance  =?

Displacement  =?

Distance is the length of the path and it has magnitude but no direction. The distance covered is 4m Displacement is the length of the path and it has magnitude and direction. Displacement is 4m towards the mailbox.
