Im pretty sure the answer is c; velocity is usually measure by a vector :)
Answer:
Here is the answer. Hope this helps you!
Explanation:
Average velocity is the sum of initial and final velocity divided by 2. I t is the same as total Displacement divided by total time. Average velocity is calculated when the body is in non-uniform motion (also when total displacement and time is not given). The formula is as follows:
u + v/2 =
Average velocity = Average speed
during motion in a straight line. therefore, the above mentioned formula can be used for calculating average speed as well, when the direction is one and only the same, that is, during motion in a straight line. The S.I unit remains the same-
m/s.
Since velocity is vector, average VELOCITY is also vector. However, Average SPEED is scalar as speed is scalar. both can be equal only when the distance = displacement and when they are following the same direction of motion.
The key is in "they lock together". This tells you this is a complete inelastic collision and therefore you can use the formula:
m1*v1+m2*v2=v(m1+m2)
Plug in numbers:
2000*3+2000*2=v(2000+2000)
so v=2 m/s, obviously in the same direction of motion in which they were both moving.
initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.
so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :
a = (v-v
)/t ..........(i)
where v is the final velocity
v
is the initial velocity
t is the time taken to change velocity
Now, as per the question :
initial velocity, v
=5.0 m/s
final velocity, v =11 m/s
time taken, t = 3 s
putting the values in equation (i),
a = ( 11-5 )/3
a = 2 m/s²
Therefore, a, after 3 s, is <em>2 m/s².</em>
