A 1200-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 9,000-kg truc

k moving in the same direction at 20.0 m/s. The velocity of the car right after the collision is 18.0 m/s to the east.a. What is the velocity of the truck right after the collision?b. How much mechanical energy is lost in the collision? Account for this loss in energy.

Answer

given,

mass of car (m) = 1200 Kg

speed of cur, u = 25 m/s

mass of truck(M) = 9000 Kg

speed of truck, u' = 20 m/s

v = 18 m/s

a) using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

1200 x 25 + 9000 x 20 = 1200 x 18 + 9000 x v'

9000 v' = 188400

v' = 20.93 m/s

b) To calculate losses, we will find the kinetic energies before & after collision. Any difference would give us the losses (in energy form).

(K E)₁= (K E)₂+ Losses

losses = (K E)₂ -  (K E)₁

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(mv^2 + Mv'^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(mu^2 + Mu'^2)

           =\dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times18^2 +9000 \times 20.93^2)- \dfrac{1}{2}(1200 \times 25^2 +9000\times 20^2)

           =9038 J

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of car m=1200 kg

initial speed of car v_1=25 m/s

Final Speed of car v_2=18 m/s

Mass of Truck M=9000 kg

initial speed of Truck u_1=20 m/s

Let u_2 be the speed of truck after collision

Conserving momentum

mv_1+Mu_1=mv_2+Mu_2

1200\times 25+9000\times 20=1200\times 18+9000\times u_2

30,000+1,80,00=21,600+9000\cdot u_2

u_2=\frac{188400}{9000}

u_2=20.93 m/s

(b)Initial Kinetic Energy of car K.E._{1c}=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2=3,75,000 J

Initial Kinetic Energy of Truck K.E._{1T}=\frac{1}{2}Mu_1^2=1,800,000 J

Final Kinetic Energy of car K.E._{2c}=\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=1,94,400 J

Final Kinetic Energy of Truck K.E._{2T}=\frac{1}{2}Mu_2^2=1,971,292.05 J

Change in kinetic Energy=Initial Kinetic Energy-Final kinetic Energy

=(3,75,000+1,800,000)-(1,94,400+1,971,292.05)

=9307.95 J

An 8.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series with a battery. The potential difference across the 6.0-ohm r
ipn [44]

Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current.  So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V

What is crossing-over in geneitcs and why is it important
slava [35]
Crossing over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between nonsister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
