Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

An empty jar is pushed open-side down into water so that trapped air cannot escape. As it is pushed deeper, the buoyant force on
Pavlova-9 [17]

As it is pushed deeper, the buoyant force on the jar will decrease. The correct option is B

<h3>What is buoyant force ?</h3>

The upward force applied to an object that is fully or partially submerged in a fluid is known as the buoyant force. Upthrust is another name for this upward thrust. A body submerged partially or completely in a fluid appears to shed weight, or to be lighter, due to the buoyant force.

The fluid under which an object is submerged exerts pressure, which is what generates the buoyancy force. Because a fluid's pressure rises with depth, the buoyancy force is always upward.

b A system in which Newton's Laws are valid

or

c A system in which there are no external forces.

Explanation:

not a, and not d

There are energy changes in a closed system.

A closed system obeys the conservation laws in its physical description.
