A 2000kg car travelling east at 24/ms enters an icy intersection and collides with a 3600kg truck travelling south at 10 m/s. If

they become coupled together in the collision, what is their velocity immediately after impact?

Resultant momentum is 60,000kgm/s

60,000 = mass of cart and truck x velocity of car and truck
60,000= 5600 x V
V= 10.71428571 m/s

A 1500 kg car traveling 5.0 m/s collides head on with a 3000 kg truck traveling

Setler [38]

m1=1500kg
m_2=3000kg
v_1=5m/s
v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s$

The pirate ship tie at the amusement park is a giant pendulum that riders sit in. It swings back and forth, with a maximum veloc

kkurt [141]

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h$

$h = \frac{200}{9.8)$

$h = 20.4 m$

so maximum height is 20.4 m

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

stiv31 [10]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N
