Answer:

1902.75 kg

Explanation:

From Law of conservation of momentum,

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = V (m₁ + m₂).................... Equation 1

make m₂ the subject of the equation,

m₂ = (m₁V - m₁u₁)/(u₂-V)..................... Equation 2

Where m₁ = mass of the truck, m₂ = mass of the car, u₁ initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = initial velocity of the car V = common velocity

Given: m₁ = 2537 kg, u₁ = 14, V= 8 m/s, u₂ = 0 m/s ( as the car was at rest waiting at a traffic light)

Substituting into equation 2.

m₂ =[2537(8) - 2537(14)]/(0-8)

m₂ = (20296-35518)/-8

m₂ = -15222/-8

m₂ = 1902.75 kg.

Thus the mass of the car = 1902.75 kg

IF it possible for an object to move for 10 seconds at a high speed and end up with an average velocity of zero? true or false
marishachu [46]

True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.

How long does a car (1000 kg) have a speed of 30 m/s from a rest if the engine power is 10kw
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: 90.1 s

Explanation:

Use equation for power:

P=F*V

Use eqation for force:

F=ma

F---force

V---velocity

Vr=om/s

V=30m/s

m=1000kg

P=10000W

---------------------------

P=FV

F=P/V

F=10000W/30m/s

F=333.33N

Use equation for force to find accelartaion.

F=ma

a=F/m

a=333.33N/1000kg

a=0.333 m/s²

Use equation for accelaration to find out time:

a=(V-Vs)/t

t=(V-Vs)/a

t=(30m/s)/(0.333m/s²)

t=90.09 s≈90.1 s
