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.

Two masses, each weighing 1.0 × 103 kilograms and moving with the same speed of 12.5 meters/second, are approaching each other.

A perfectly elastic<span> collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of </span>kinetic energy<span> in the collision. Therefore, we just add the kinetic energies of each system. We calculate as follows:

KE = 0.5(</span>1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2 + 0.5(1.0 × 10^3)(12.5 )^2
KE = 156250 J = 1.6 x 10^5 J -------> OPTION A

FromTheMoon [43]
It's called the periodic table because it arranges the elements the into repeating sets known as periods. this is defined by the <span>covalence of an element and the number of electrons i has in its outermost shell.

Which fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck?
Irina18 [472]

Radial fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is a slight difference between radial and concentric fractures and as radial fractures are formed which extends outwards in a radial manner  from the point where the glass is struck.

Whereas concentric fractures are circular in pattern and they terminate long before radial crack. Also when a bullet is fired from a gun, a similar reaction is observed as it gets struck on the surface and fractures are formed in the same pattern.
