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

Physics
1 answer:
insens350 [35]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Two blocks, A and B, are connected by a rope. A second rope is connected to block B and a steady, horizontal tension force of T
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of system is constant

Therefore, acceleration=a=0

Tension applied on block B=T=50 N

Friction force=f=10 N

We have to find the friction force acting on block A.

Let T' be the tension in string connecting block A and block B and friction force on block A be f'.

For Block B

T-f-T'=m_Ba

Where m_B=Mass of block B

Substitute the values

50-10-T'=m_B\times 0=0

T'==40 N

For block A

T'-f'=m_Aa

Where m_A=Mass of block A

Substitute the values

40-f'=m_A\times 0=0

f'=40 N

Hence, the friction force acting on block A=40 N

How can Newton's laws be applied to protect a smartphone screen during a collision?
Sonja [21]

smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.

force causes material to deform.

material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.

newton's 2nd law states

force = DV / DT

to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force

thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .

the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.

therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases
