Answer: (a)
Explanation:
Given
Mass of large truck is 4M with velocity V
Mass of small car is M which is at rest
After the collision car and truck stick together
Conserving momentum
For elastic collision, the velocity of the center of mass remains the same as the momentum is conserved and there is no acceleration involved.
So, for elastic collision velocity
Answer:
The person on Earth will have to exert more force to lift their block
Explanation:
The mass of the blocks to be lifted = 200 kg
The location of the first person = On Earth
The location of the second person = On the Moon
The force a person will have to exert to lift the block = The weight of the block = The gravitational force, F, on the block which is given as follows;
Where;
= The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth or the Moon, depending on the location of the block
m₂ = The mass of the block
Therefore, given that the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth is larger than the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, the weight of the block on the Earth is larger than the weight of the block on the Moon, and the person on Earth have to exert more force to lift the heavier weight of the block on Earth than the person on the Moon will have to exert to lift the same block as the block has a lower weight on the Moon due to lower acceleration due to gravity on the Moon.
