Yes it is true because kinetic energy is when something is moving.Potential
energy is when something is not moving.

Answer:

$v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

$P_i = m_1v$

After the collision

$P_f = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

So using the law of momentum conservation

$P_i = P_f$

$m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

$v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

$m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

From here we can plug in $v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0$

$v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v$

$v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a

Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
