A truck with a mass of 1370 kg and moving with a speed of 12.0 m/s rear-ends a 593 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collis

ion is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second.

Answer:

speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

mass of truck M = 1370 kg

speed of truck = 12.0 m/s

mass of car m = 593 kg

collision is elastic therefore,

Applying law of momentum conservation we have

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

1370×12 + 0( initially car is at rest) = 1370×v1+ 593×v2               ....(i)

Also for a collision to be elastic,

velocity of approach = velocity of separation

12 -0 = v2-v1                  ....(ii)

using (i) and (ii) we have

So speed of car after collision, v2 =16.1 m/s and of the truck, v1 = 4.6 m/s

Bas_tet [7]
The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

An angry physics student releases a wrecking ball as shown. The wrecking ball is just about to hit the building at the final tim
daser333 [38]

Answer:

the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force)

Explanation

Explanation:For this exercise the student must create an impulse to move the ball towards the building, in this part he performs positive work since the applied force and the displacement are in the same direction.

When the ball moves it has a kinetic energy and if its height increases or decreases its potential energy also changes, but the sum of being must be equal to the initial work.

When the ball arrives and collides with the building, non-conservative forces, of various kinds; rubbing, breaking, etc. It transforms this energy into a part of heat and another in mechanical energy that the building must absorb, let us destroy its wall

Consequently, the force between the building and the ball is non-conservative (friction-type force

A police car is stopped at a red light facing west. When the light turned green, a sports car speeds past it heading west at wit
frutty [35]

Answer:

14 seconds

Explanation:

Distance covered by sports car is measured with 21*t where t is time.

Distance covered by police is measured with at^2/2(t-time, a-acceleration) as it doesnt have starting velocity. If the distances are equal(police catches sport car)

then we have 21t=3/2*t^2 Solving this equation we get t=14 & t=0;

excluding the starting point we have 14 seconds

A 1.0 kg piece of copper with a specific heat of cCu=390J/(kg⋅K) is placed in 1.0 kg of water with a specific heat of cw=4190J/(
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The temperature change of the copper is greater than the temperature change of the water.

Explanation:

deltaQ = mc(deltaT)

Where,

delta T = change in the temperature

m =mass

c = heat capacity

\frac{(deltaT)_{Cu}}{(deltaT)_{w}}=\frac{4190J/kg.K}{390J/kg.K}\\ \\(deltaT)_{Cu}=10.74(deltaT)_{w}

The temperature change in the copper is nearly 11 times the temperature change in the water.

So, the correct option is,

The temperature change of the copper is greater than the temperature change of the water.

Hope this helps!
