Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So we can write:

W=K_f - K_i

where in this problem:

W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving for Kf,

K_f = W+K_i = -36,733+66,120=29,387 J

The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i

here we know that

P_1 = P_2

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv

now from above equation we have

P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)

mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

A compound has a melting point of 812°C. what type of bonding is in the compound?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Ionic compound.

Explanation:

812° C is a very high melting point. Such high melting points are generally ionic compound. Ionic compounds are have very strong bond between the elements ( electrostatic bond). In order to break this bond, large amount of heat energies are needed. So, they have high melting point. Also, Ionic compound are very good conductors of electricity.

Which statement best describes metallic bonding
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It's a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal bars. It can also be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions

two teams are playing tug of war. team a pulls to the right with a force of 450n .team b pulls to the left with a force of 415 n
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

It is given that, two teams are playing tug of war.

Force applied by Team A, F_A=450\ N

Force applied by Team B, F_B=415\ N

We need to find the net force acting on the rope. It is equal to :

F_{net}=F_A-F_B

F_{net}=450-415

F_{net}=35\ N

So, the net force acting on the rope is 35 N and it is acting toward right. Hence, this is the required solution.
