1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s

The speed of the rock at 20 m is 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the rock, sum of its potential energy + its kinetic energy) must be conserved in absence of air resistance. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

U_f is the final potential energy

K_f is the final kinetic energy

The equation can also be rewritten as  follows:

mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 100 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 80 is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial speed  (the rock starts at rest)

h_f = 20 m is the final height of the rock

v is the final speed when h = 20 m

And solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(80-20)}=34.3 m/s

In Example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on sol
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-100}{-5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=100\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=1000\ m

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.
