A car of mass 1800 kg collides with a truck of mass 5200 kg, and just after the collision the car and truck slide along, stuck t

ogether, with no rotation. The car's velocity just before the collision was < 44, 0, 0 > m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was < -21, 0, 20 > m/s. Use the concept of the center-of-momentum reference frame.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is said to occur if the total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

Step one

Analysis of the problem

Immediately after impact the car's velocity was zero making it a perfect elastic collision

Step two

Given

Mass of car M1=1800kg

Mass of truck M2=5200kg

Initial velocity of Car U1=44m/s

Initial velocity of truck U2=21m/s

Final velocity of car V1= 0m/s

Final velocity of truck V2=20m/s

Step three

According to the principle of conservation of momentum

Total momentum before collision

=M1U1+M2U2

Total momentum after impact

=M1V1+M2V2

M1U1+M2U2 =M1V1+M2V2

Substituting our data into the expression we have 1500*44+5800*21=1500*0+5800*20

=66000+1218000=11600

1284000=11600

From the solution the momentum before impact is 1284000Ns

Momentum after impact is 11600Ns

This is indicating that after impact there was loss in momentum as a result of the car having a velocity of zero

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ft∙lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m  = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \  \times \ \ \ \ 1   \ lbf\ }

m  = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71  \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A) move into the left lane to pass the motorcycle

Explanation:

According to law, when it is needed to pass other vehicles, it requires you to only pass other vehicles on the left (using the left lane).  

When passing a motorcyclist, remember to give him/her the same full lane width as other vehicles. Never drive in the same lane with a motorcyclist, even if the lane is wide enough to fit your vehicle and the motorcyclist.

Using evidence from the article, defend the concept that Earth’s magnetic poles have swapped places over time.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
