An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.
Answer:
v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]
Explanation:
This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.
In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

where:
m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]
v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]
m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]
v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)
v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].
Now replacing:
![(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%281000%2A10%29%2B%282000%2A0%29%3D%281000%2B2000%29%2Av_%7B3%7D%5C%5Cv_%7B3%7D%3D3.33%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:

(c) The total charge is

. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):

If we approximate piece 6 as a single charge, the electric field is given by

where

and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have

poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.
(e) missing details on this question.
