Answer:

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ  

Explanation:

given data

Truck mass  M =  1560 Kg

Truck initial speed, u = 28 m/s

mass of car m = 1070 Kg

initial speed of car u1 = 0 m/s

solution

first we get here final speed by using conservation of momentum  that is express as

Mu = (M+m) V     .......................1

put here  value we get

1560 × 28 = (1560 + 1070 ) V

solve it we get

final speed V = 16.60 m/s

and

Change in kinetic energy  will be here

Δ KE =   \frac{1}{2} Mu^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M+m)V^2         .................2

put here value and we get

 Δ KE = \frac{1}{2}\times 1560\times 28^2 - \frac{1}{2}\times (1560 + 1070)\times 16.60^2  

solve it we get

Δ KE =  249158.6 kJ

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

1.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Weight equals mass times acceleration due to gravity.

F = mg

14.4 N = (9 kg) g
