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>

Pourquoi doit on toujours préciser le référentiel dans le quel est étudié le mouvement d'un système?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The movement of an object depends on the reference frame, so it is important to predicate it.

On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is
Alchen [17]
<span>Using conservation of energy and momentum you can solve this question. M_l = mass of linebacker
M_ h = mass of halfback
V_l = velocity of linebacker
V_h = velocity of halfback

So for conservation of momentum,
rho = mv

M_l x V_li + M_h x V_hi = M_l x V_lf + M_h x V_hf

For conservation of energy (kinetic)
E_k = 1/2mv^2/ 1/2mV_li^2 + 1/2mV_{hi}^2 = 1/2mV_{lf}^2 + 1/2mV_{hf}^2

Where i and h stand for initial and final values.
We are already told the masses, \[M_l = 110kg\] \[M_h = 85kg\] and the final velocities \[V_{fi} = 8.5ms^{-1}\] and \[V_{ih} = 7.2ms^{-1} </span>

3. A model rocket is launched straight upward at 58.8 m/s.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

a). 6 seconds

b). 12 seconds

c). 176.4 meters

Explanation:

a). Equation to be applied to calculate the time taken by the rocket to reach at the peak height,

   v = u - gt

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity = 58.8 m per sec

g = gravitational pull = 9.8 m per sec²

t = duration of the flight

At the peak height,

v = 0

Therefore, 0 = 58.8 - (9.8)(t)

t =  \frac{58.8}{9.8}

 = 6 seconds

b). Total time of flight = 2(Time taken to go up)

                                    = 2×6

                                    = 12 sec

c). Formula to get the peak height is,

   h=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

   h = (58.8)6 - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(6)^2

      = 352.8 - 176.4

      = 176.4 meters
