I believe it is a conductor I am learning this myself so I may be wrong
Answer:
v = 3(m1 - 2m2)/(m1 + m2)
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Velocity of first toy car with mass m1, u1 = 3 m/s (taking the right direction as the positive axis)
Velocity of second toy car with mass m2, u2 = -6 m/s (taking the left direction as the negative x axis)
Using conservation of momentum principle:
Total initial momentum = Total final momentum
m1*u1 + m2*u2 = m1*v1 + m2*v2
Since they stick together after collision, they have the same final velocity.
m1*3 + (m2 * -6) = m1*v + m2*v
3m1 - 6m2 = (m1 + m2)v
v = (3m1 - 6m2) / (m1 + m2)
v = 3(m1 - 2m2) / (m1 + m2)
S=d/t
speed can be calculated by dividing distance by time.
Answer:
Explanation:
The power supplied by the engine is given by
P = Fv
where
F is the force applied
v is the velocity of the car
Here we have
P = 3700 W
v = 14.2 m/s
So we can solve the equation to find the average force:
The net force applied on the car is also equal to
F = ma
where
m = 960.0 kg is the mass of the car
a is the acceleration
Re-arranging the equation, we find the acceleration:
