two test cars of equal mass moving towards each other collide on a horiontal frictionless surface. Before the collision, car A h

as a constant speed 20m/s while car B has a constant speed of 12m/s. After the collision, the two bodies are stuck together. What is the speed of the composite body (A+B) after the collision?

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

Answer:

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

Oil head = 12.2 m

h= 12.2 m

Pressure P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

Lets take density of the liquid =ρ

The pressure due to liquid P given as

P = ρ g h

Now by putting the all values in the above equation

1.013 x 10⁵ Pa = ρ x 10 x 12.2                 ( take g =10 m/s²)

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Therefore the density of oil is 830.32  kg/m³

A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational
-Dominant- [34]
Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4
