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.

A boy of mass, m weights 895 N. What is his mass, m?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

91.3 kg

Explanation:

weight = m*g

m: mass

g: gravity = 9.8 or 10 (depends on what your instructor tells you to use)

mass = w/g

895/9.8 = 91.3 KG

balandron [24]

Answer:

a. 45 N. / b. 0.08 m/s^2. / c. 102 N

F = ma

F = 15(3)

F = 45 newtons

F/m = a

20/250 = a

0.08 m/s^2 = a

R = ma

R =1.5(68)

102 N
