A 4350 kg truck, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary car. After the collision, the truck moves 4.55 m/s and the

car moves 11.5 m/s, both in the same direction. What is the mass of the car?

Answer:

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Explanation:

Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.

Let mass of car be m.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s

Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m

We have

      19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5

        m = 1097.97 kg

Mass of car = 1098 kg

I have no clue on how to do this
KatRina [158]

a)5m/s b)5

the 5 is because you add the seconds to get 8 seconds and then do the same with the distance to get 40. 40/8 = 5. speed = 5

Velocity = displacement/change in time

V = 40/8

I just realized how unorganised my math looks but I hope this is helpfull

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m
