Answer:

The gravitational attraction of the Sun is what holds the planets in their elliptical orbits. So to explain this the mass effects the motion of the planets because the strength of gravitational force depends of the mass.

A 1,103 kg car traveling at 18 m/s to the south collides with a 4,919 kg truck that is initially at rest at a stoplight. The car

Zigmanuir [339]

ANSWER

$3.30\text{ m/s}$

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of car, mc = 1103 kg

Mass of truck, mt = 4919 kg

Initial velocity of car, uc = 18 m/s

Inital velocity of truck = 0 m/s

To solve this problem, we have to apply the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system is constant.

This implies that:

$m_cu_c+m_tu_t=m_cv_c+m_tv_t$

Since the car and the truck stick together after the collision, they will have the same final velocity.

Hence:

$m_cu_c+m_tu_t=(m_c+m_t)v_{}_{}$

Substitute the given values and solve for v (final velocity):

$\begin{gathered} (1103\cdot18)+(4919\cdot0)=(1103+4919)v \\ \Rightarrow19854=6022v \\ \Rightarrow v=\frac{19854}{6022} \\ v=3.30\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

That is the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass.

A measurement that has both magnitude and direction

Korvikt [17]

<span>A measurement that both magnitude and direction is a vector quantity. An example of this is a moving car. The car exerts force due to its thrust and weight that runs in it. This will give us the magnitude of the car. The resulting motion of the car in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration that determines its direction makes it a vector quantity. On the other hand, a measurement that has only magnitude is a scalar quantity. The energy exerted by the engine of the car is a scalar quantity.</span>
