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

Consult interactive solution 2.22 before beginning this problem. a car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +30.0
Inessa05 [86]

Let a_1 be the average acceleration over the first 2.46 seconds, and a_2 the average acceleration over the next 6.79 seconds.

At the start, the car has velocity 30.0 m/s, and at the end of the total 9.25 second interval it has velocity 15.2 m/s. Let v be the velocity of the car after the first 2.46 seconds.

By definition of average acceleration, we have

a_1=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}

a_2=\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}

and we're also told that

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=1.66

(or possibly the other way around; I'll consider that case later). We can solve for a_1 in the ratio equation and substitute it into the first average acceleration equation, and in turn we end up with an equation independent of the accelerations:

1.66a_2=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}

\implies1.66\left(\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}\right)=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}

Now we can solve for v. We find that

v=20.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

In the case that the ratio of accelerations is actually

\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=1.66

we would instead have

\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}=1.66\left(\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}\right)

in which case we would get a velocity of

v=24.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

What is the acceleration that earth experiences due to your gravitational pull?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration that earth experiences due to  gravitational pull is = 9.81  \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Explanation:

The acceleration that earth experiences due to  gravitational pull is called the acceleration due to gravity. its value is 9.81 and its unit is \frac{m}{s^{2} }.

When the object move upwards than in that case the earth gravitational force pulls down the body.

The formula of force due to gravity on the body is given as

F = mg

where g = acceleration due to gravity.

Due to this acceleration the body falls upon the surface of the earth.

How much work is done in holding a 15 N sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the
marta [7]

Answer: 2700 Joules

Explanation:

Given variables are:

Workdone (w) = ?

Weight of sack (w) = 15N

Time taken (t) = 3 minutes

The standard unit of time is seconds, so convert 3 minutes to seconds

(If 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Recall that work is done is when force is applied on an object over a distance

i.e Workdone = force x distance.

(However, the force acting on the sack of potatoes is weight)

Hence, workdone = weight x time

w = 15N x 180 seconds

w = 2700 J

thus, 2700 joules of work was done.
