<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg.
The key here is the conservation of momentum.
For the first truck, the momentum is
0(5100 + 4300)
The second truck has a starting momentum of
60(5100 + x)
And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is
42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x)
So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other.
0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x)
And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms
0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x)
Getting rid of the zero term
60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x)
Distribute the 60 and the 42.
60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x
306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x
Subtract 42x from both sides
306000 + 18x = 609000
Subtract 306000 from both sides
18x = 303000
And divide both sides by 18
x = 16833.33
So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums.
60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000
42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000
They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>
Answer:
m1/m2 = 0.51
Explanation:
First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:
V = √F/u
This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.
the value of "u" is:
u = m/L
Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.
Now, for the rod 1:
V1 = √F/u1 (1)
rod 2:
V2 = √F/u2 (2)
Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:
1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)
Replacing (2) in (3):
1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)
Now, let's solve the equation 4:
[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1
1.96(F/u2) =F/u1
1.96F = F*u2/u1
1.96 = u2/u1 (5)
Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:
1.96 = m2/L / m1/L
1.96 = m2/m1 (6)
But we need m1/m2 so:
1.96m1 = m2
m1/m2 = 1/1.96
m1/m2 = 0.51
Answer: B or "diamonds are rare,valuable gems".
