A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13.0 m/s in the same direction. If th

e second car has a mass of 790 kg and a speed of 15.1 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision

Answer:

14.04 m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity of the first car after the collision, we can use the equation of conservation of momentum:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

We have the following data:

m1 = m1' = 328,

m2 = m2' = 790,

v1 = 19.1,

v2 = 13,

v2' = 15.1.

Using this data, we can find v1' (final velocity of the first car):

328 * 19.1 + 790 * 13 = 328 * v1' + 790 * 15.1

16534.8 = 328 * v1' + 11929

328 * v1' = 4605.8

v1' = 14.04 m/s

Where does diffusion occur in the excretory system

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Diffusion of water, salts, and waste products occurs in the kidneys. Diffusion of calcium from food into cells occurs in the intestines. Molecules are not the only things that can diffuse. Heat from the body diffuses away in the form of sweat that evaporates.

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Constant speed of Jane=12.6 m/s

a.When Fred can throw the ball 30 m/s

We have to find the angle relative to the horizontal when he throw the ball in order for Sue to see the ball travel vertically upward.

Let $\theta$ be the angle .

Therefore,

$30 cos\theta=12.6$

$cos\theta=\frac{12.6}{30}=0.42$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0.42)=65.165^{\circ}$

b.We have to find the height to which ball reach.

$v^2-v^2_0=2aS$

$S=\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}=\frac{0-(30 sin65.165)^2}{2(-9.81)}$

$S=37.78 m$
