A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.

miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

$\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}$

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

Reciprocal liking is adaptive because it lowers the risk of relationship rejection.

Mila [183]

I believe that the statement above is TRUE. I can say that it's true because based on the definition of what reciprocal liking is, this is the probability of having to like someone who also likes them in return. Therefore, if they like each other, this means that there is a low risk of rejection in the relationship.

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?

san4es73 [151]

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

   (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

   = (55 x 231 / 1728) ft³

   = 7.352 cubic feet (rounded)
