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

In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc
topjm [15]

Answer:

the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f> = Ф

Explanation:

In this experiment on the photoelectric effect, it is explained by the Einstein relation that considers the light beam formed by discrete energy packages.

                    K_max = h f - Ф

in the exercise phase, they indicate that different wavelengths can inject electrons, so the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f > = Ф

What is the momentum of a bicycle with a mass of 18 kg traveling at 20 m/s?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:360 kg m/s

Explanation:Momentum refers to an object's quantity of motion.

Formula for Momentum: p=mv

p = refers to the momentum

m = refers to the object's mass (this is represented by the unit kg or kilogram)

v = this refers to the object's velocity (this is represented by the unit m/s or meter per second)

So, given that the bike has a mass of 18 kg and is traveling at 20 m/s, then you can already get the momentum by multiplying both of these values.

p = the bike's momentum (what is being asked here)

m = 18 kg

v = 20 m/s

Thus, p = 18kg × 20 m/s = 360 kg m/s

The bike's momentum is 360 kg m/s.

A spring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held b
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

0.3 m

Explanation:

Initially, the package has both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.  The spring has elastic energy.  After the package is brought to rest, all the energy is stored in the spring.

Initial energy = final energy

mgh + ½ mv² + ½ kx₁² = ½ kx₂²

Given:

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = 8 sin 20º m

v = 2 m/s

k = 30000 N/m

x₁ = 0.05 m

(50)(9.8)(8 sin 20) + ½ (50)(2)² + ½ (30000)(0.05)² = ½ (30000)x₂²

x₂ ≈ 0.314 m

So the spring is compressed 0.314 m from it's natural length.  However, we're asked to find the additional deformation from the original 50mm.

x₂ − x₁

0.314 m − 0.05 m

0.264 m

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the spring is compressed an additional 0.3 meters.
