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.

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

How is work defined in physics
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.
