A 1000-kg car is traveling east at 20\:m.s^{-1}20 m . s − 1 and a 1200-kg car is traveling west at 22\:m.s^{-1}\:22 m . s − 1. W

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

$k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

$k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}$

$k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}$

$k = 200000 + 290400$

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

Explain why average velocity in one dimension can be positive or negative.

Softa [21]

Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since $velocity = \frac{change in position}{time}$ , and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.

A turtle ambles leisurely, as turtles tend to do, when it moves from a location with position vector 1,=1.91 m and 1,=−2.73 m in

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Components: 0.0057, -0.0068. Magnitude: 0.0089 m/s

Explanation:

The displacement in the x-direction is:

$d_x = 3.65-1.91=1.74 m$

While the displacement in the y-direction is:

$d_y = -4.79 -(-2.73)=-2.06 m$

The time taken is t = 304 s.

So the components of the average velocity are:

$v_x = \frac{d_x}{t}=\frac{1.74}{304}=0.0057 m/s$

$v_y = \frac{d_y}{t}=\frac{-2.06}{304}=-0.0068 m/s$

And the magnitude of the average velocity is

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(0.0057)^2+(-0.0068)^2}=0.0089 m/s$

Freezing involves the ______________ of latent heat and a change is state from the ______________ phase to the solid phase.

DaniilM [7]

<span>Freezing involves the decrease in value of latent heat by 80 Cal/gm and a change of state from the Liquid phase to the solid phase.

So, in short, Fill in the blank as follows:
1st blank = Release/decrease
2nd blank = Liquid

Hope this helps!
