The high-speed police chase ends at an intersection as a 2,150-kg Ford Explorer (driven by Robin) traveling south at 35 m/s coll

ides with a 18,250-kg garbage truck moving east at 1.55 m/s. The Explorer and the garbage truck entangle together in the middle of the intersection and move as a single object. Determine the post-collision speed two entangled vehicles.

Answer:

The post-collision speed of the two entangled vehicles is 5.08m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of a body before collision is equal to the sum of the collision of the bodies after collision. The bodies moves with the same velovity after collision.

Mathematically, mu + MU = (m+M)v

m and M are the masses of the bodies

u and U are their respective velocities

v is their common velocity

Momentum = mass*velocity

BEFORE COLLISION;

Momentum of Ford Explorer = 2150*35

= 75,250kgm/s

Momentum of the garbage truck = 18, 250 * 1.55

= 28,287.5kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION;

Note that the body will move with the same velocity after collision.

Momentum of the bodies after entangling = (2,150+18,250)v

= 20,400v kgm/s (v is their common velocity)

According to thr law;

75,250+28,287.5 = 20,400v

103,537.5 = 20,400v

v = 103,537.5/20,400

v = 5.08m/s

The post-collision speed of the two entangled vehicles is 5.08m/s

Which of the following woud be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?
leonid [27]

Answer: C solar energy

Solar energy has the greatest  impact on primary productivity.

Explanation:

Primary productivity  is the amount of organic compounds synthesized from carbon dioxide. Primary production occurs by the process of photosynthesis. Since the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

The synthesis can occur in atmosphere as well as aquatic environment. The organisms that perform the function of primary production are called producers .In terrestrial regions plants are the producers and in aquatic systems algae are the  primary producers.

An electric field from a charge has a magnitude of 1.5 × 104 N/C at a certain location that points inward. If another charge wit
zysi [14]

Answer:

-0.045 N, they will attract each other

Explanation:

The strength of the electrostatic force exerted on a charge is given by

F=qE

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

E is the electric field magnitude

In this problem,

q=3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

E=-1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C (negative because inward)

So the strength of the electrostatic force is

F=(-3.0\cdot 10^{-6}C)(1.5\cdot 10^4 N/C)=-0.045 N

Moreover, the charge will be attracted towards the source of the electric field. In fact, the text says that the electric field points inward: this means that the source charge is negative, so the other charge (which is positive) is attracted towards it.

Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.
