Two car collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9).

The truck (2020 kg) t-boned the car in the middle of the intersection. The car was slowed down to only 6.7 m/s. The truck after colliding with the car was going 10.3 m/s. How fast did the truck go into the intersection?

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s

If an incident light ray hits a flat smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of…
Nookie1986 [14]

Option B is correct. If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28°. It will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

Hence, option B is correct

A body is accelerated continuously. What is the form of the graph?
Inga [223]
That depends on what quantity is graphed.

It also depends on what kind of acceleration is taking place ...
continuous change of speed or continuous change of direction.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed, then the graph is a connected series of straight-line pieces. 
Each straight piece slopes up if speed is increasing, or down if speed
is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change in
direction only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since speed is
constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since direction
is constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction, then the graph is a connected series of pieces of line. 
Each piece may be straight if the direction is changing at a constant rate,
or curved if the direction is changing at a rate which grows or shrinks. 
Each piece may slope up if the angle that defines the direction is growing,
or may slope down if the angle that defines the direction is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a
change in speed, then the graph is a connected series of pieces
of curves.  Each piece curves up if speed is increasing, or down if
speed is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction only, then the graph is a straight line sloping up, since speed
is constant.
