Answer:
4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.
Explanation:
If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.
You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.
The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.
Answer:
0.752 m/s
Explanation:
m1 = 3.00kg
u1 = 5.05m/s
m2 = 2.76kg
u2 = -3.66m/s
According to the law of conservation of momentum,
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
3(5.05) + 2.76(-3.66) = (5.05+2.76)v
15.15 - 9.2736 = 7.81v
5.8764 = 7.81v
v = 5.8764/7.81
v = 0.752m/s
