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

Find the minor measurement of the vernier scale by taking 49, 1mm divisions of the main scale and dividing it into 50 vernier di
olga nikolaevna [1]
<h2>♨ANSWER♥</h2>

length of V-50 = 49mm

length of V-1 = 49/50mm

= 0.98mm

so,

minor measurement = (M-1) - (V-1)

= 1mm -0.98mm

= 0.02mm

☆ Therefore,

The minor measurement of the vernier scale is 0.02mm.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower at the same instant a ball is droppedvertically. Which object is travelin
Igoryamba

The ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

<h3>Time of motion of the objects</h3>

The time of motion of the objects depends on height and initial velocity of projection of the objects.

The stone has no initial vertical velocity while the ball has initial vertical velocity.

Thus, the ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

Two spacecraft are both 10 million kilometers from a star. The total power output of the star is 4 x 1025 W. Spacecraft 1 has a
Ksenya-84 [330]

The concept of power is given by the relationship between intensity and area, that is to say that power is defined as

P = A*I

Our values are given under the condition of,

r_1 = 18m

r_2 = m

The power is proportional to the Area, and in turn, we know that the Area of a circle is the product between \pi  times the radius squared, therefore the power is proportional to the radius squared.

\text{Power} \propto r^2

For both panels we would have to

\frac{\text{Power by panel 1}}{\text{Power by panel 2}} = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = (\frac{18}{6})^2

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 9

Therefore the correct option is option C.9

How much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 130
Harrizon [31]
Work= Force in the direction of displacement*displacement.

You know the force in the direction of displacement (horizontally) and the displacement. So,

W=130*11=1430 

Therefore, the work done is 1,430 Joules

1. Space probes have not landed on Pluto yet. Describe three types of information you would collect if you were designing the pr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.
