Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Acceleration due to gravity (g) is the accelerational force experienced by a body as a result of the influence of the earth's gravitational force. It is a vector quantity, that is, it has both magnitude and direction.</em>

<em>The acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth. Hence, g at the equatorial region is slightly lesser (9.780 m/s2) than that of the polar regions (9.832 m/s2) of the earth because the earth bulges at the equator leading to a higher radius than at the poles. </em>

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 secs. What is the acceleration of the truck?

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

$m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v$ (1)

Where:

$m_{S}$ , $m_{C}$ - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

$v_{S}$ , $v_{C}$ - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $m_{S} = 2200\,kg$ , $m_{C} = 2000\,kg$ , $v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:
