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

A television has a mass of 19 kg. What is the weight of the television?
soldi70 [24.7K]
That depends on how far it is from the nearest planet. If it's on the surface of Earth, it weighs (19 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 186.2 newtons.

A box of mass 60 kg is at rest on a horizontal floor that has a static coefficient of friction of 0.6 and a kinetic coefficient
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a) The minimum force required to start moving the box is 352.86 N

b) i) The friction force for the box in motion is 147.025 N

ii) The acceleration of box is 4.21625 m/s²

Explanation:

The parameters of the box at rest and the floor are;

The mass of the box = 60 kg

The static coefficient friction of the floor = 0.6

The kinetic coefficient friction of the floor = 0.25

Frictional force = Normal force × Friction coefficient

For an horizontal floor and the box laying on the floor, we have;

The normal force = The weight of the box = Mass of the box × Acceleration due to gravity, g

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

The weight of the box  = 60 × 9.81 = 588.6 N

a) The static coefficient gives the frictional force observed by the box and which must be surpassed to bring about motion

Therefore;

The minimum force required to start moving the box = The static frictional force = Weight of the box × The static coefficient of friction

The minimum force required to start moving the box = 588.1 × 0.6 = 352.86 N

The minimum force required to start moving the box = 352.86 N

b) i) When an horizontal force of 400 N is applied, the applied force is larger than the static friction force, and the box will be in motion with the kinetic coefficient of friction being the source of friction

The friction force for the box in motion = 588.1 × 0.25 = 147.025 N

ii) The force, F with the box is in motion, is given as follows;

F = Mass of box × Acceleration of box, a = Applied force - Kinematic friction force

F = 60 × a = 400 - 147.025 = 252.975 N

60 × a = 252.975 N

a = 252.975 N/(60 kg) = 4.21625 m/s²

Acceleration of box, a = 4.21625 m/s².

Tammy leaves the office, drives 34 km due north, then turns onto a second highway and continues in a direction of 35◦ north of e
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o
