A 1000 Kg car traveling at 10 m/s hits the back of a 5000 Kg truck

Physics

Answer:

0 m/s

The car becomes stationary

Explanation:

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the sum of inital and final momentum should be equal and expressed as

m_cu_c+m_tu_t=m_cv_c+m_tv_t

Where m represent the mass, u and v are tge initial and final velocities while subscripts c and t represent car and truck.

Taking forward direction as positive then considering that the truck is originally at rest, we substitute original truck velocity with 0, mass of car and truck with 1000 kg and 5000 kg respectively then final truck velocity as 2 m/s as we take initial car velocity to be 10 m/s

1000*10+(5000*0)=5000*2+1000v

1000v=0

V=0

Therefore, the car finally becomes stationary.

A 91.5 kg football player running east at 2.73 m/s tackles a 63.5 kg player running east at 3.09 m/s. what is their velocity aft
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the players will be <u>2.88 m/s</u> in the <u>east</u> direction.

Explanation:

Let 'v' be the velocity of the players after collision.

Consider the east direction as positive direction.

Given:

Mass of the first player  is, m_1 = 91.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the first player  is, u_1 = 2.73 m/s  

Mass of the second player  is, m_2 = 63.5 kg  

Initial velocity of the second player is, u_2 = 3.09 m/s  

In order to solve this problem we use the law of conservation of momentum which says that the total momentum must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

Solving for v, we get:

v = \frac{m_1 u_1+m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(91.5)(2.73)+(63.5)(3.09)}{91.5+63.5}=2.88\ m/s

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 2.88 m/s.

The sign of the velocity after collision is positive. So, the players will move in the east direction only after collision.

Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.8 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

160.75 N

Explanation:

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N

How does Electromagnetic Energy Travel?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Perpendicular to the electric field and magnetic field

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

they does not require any media to travel. It has two perpendicular electric field and the magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other

They travel perpendicular to each of those electric and magnetic fields.
