Answer:

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is one where 2 masses collide and stick together, moving as a single mass after the collision occurs. When we talk about this type of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved always, but the kinetic momentum is not (the velocity changes when they collide). Because there is direction involved here, we use vector addition. The picture before the collision has the truck at a mass of 3520 kg moving north at a velocity of 18.5. The truck's momentum, then, is 3520(18.5) = 65100 kgm/s; coming at this truck is a car of mass 1480 kg traveling east at an unknown velocity. The car's momentum, then, is 1480v. The resulting vector (found when you pick up the car vector and stick the initial end of it to the terminal end of the truck's momentum vector) forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle where one leg is 65100 kgm/s, and the other leg is 1480v. Since we already know the final velocity of the 2 masses after the collision, we can use that to find the final momentum, which will serve as the resultant momentum vector in our equation (we'll get there in a sec). The final momentum of this collision is

p = mv and

p = (3520 + 1480)(13.6) so

p = 68000. Final momentum. The equation for this is a take-off of Pythagorean's Theorem and the one used to find the final magnitude of a resultant vector when you first began your vector math in physics. The equation is

p_f=\sqrt{(p_{truck})^2+(p_{car})^2} which, in words, is

the final momentum after the collision is equal to the square root of the truck's momentum squared plus the car's momentum squared. Filling in:

68000=\sqrt{(65100)^2+(1480v)^2} and

(68000)^2=(65100)^2+(1480v)^2 and

4624000000=4238010000+2190400v^2  and

385990000=2190400v^2 and

176.2189554=v^2 so

v = 13.3 m/s at 72.6°

barxatty [35]
1h----------------> 70x3=210 bacteria
2h-----------------> 210*3=630 bactaeria
let be y the number of bacteria at the t=0h
it is y=70 3^0
for t= 1h
y=70*3^1=210
for t=2h
y=70*3^2=630

so we can write y=70*3^x, where x is the number of hour

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The torque produced by the pile of rocks is \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m  

b

The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is r_s =1.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the left rock is  m_s = 2.25 \ kg

     The mass of the rock on the right m_p = 10.1 kg

    The distance from  fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is  r_p = 0.360 \ m

   

Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as

           \tau = m_p * g * r_p

Substituting values

         \tau = 10.1 * 9.8  * 0.360                  

          \tau = 35.63\ N \cdot m      

Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows

   The torque due to the single rock is

           \tau = m_s  * g * r_s

At equilibrium the both torque are equal

            35.63 = m_s * r_s * g

Making r_s the subject of the formula

             r_s = \frac{35.63 }{m_s * g}

Substituting values

            r_s = \frac{35.63 }{2.25 * 9.8}

            r_s =1.62 \ m
