Answer:

a 10 kg elephant moving at 1 m/s

Explanation:

because kinetic energy depend on how fast an object moves and also depend on the gravitational force which include the weight.

A car (mass 1200 kg, speed 100 km/h) and a truck (mass 2800 kg, speed 50 km/h) are moving in the same direction along a highway.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Speed of the wreck after the collision is 65 km/h

Explanation:

When a car hits truck and sticks together, the collision would be totally inelastic. Since the both the vehicles locked together, they have the same final velocity.

Mass of car $m_{1}=1200 kg$

Mass of truck $m_{2}=2800 kg$

Initial speed of the car $u_{1}=100 km /h$

Initial speed of the truck $u_{2}=50 km /h$

The final velocity of the wreck will be

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

since final speed are same, $v_{1}=v_{2}=v$

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v$

$1200\times 100 +2800 \times 50 =(1200+2800)v\\v=\frac{260000}{4000} \\v=65 km/h$

A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static fric

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

Explanation:

If you want to move an object, you need to apply a force that is bigger than the force of the statical friction.

The force of statical friction can be written as.

Ff = k*N

where k is the coefficient of static friction, in this case, k = 0.45, and N is the normal force between the object and the surface.

In this case, the normal force is the weight of the bedroom bureau, this is:

N = m*g = 45kg*9.8m/s^2 = 441N

Then the force is:

Fr = 0.45*441N = 198.45N

This means that the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

and after this point, the force of friction will work wit the kinetic coefficient of friction, that usually is smaller than the statical one.

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.50 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.45 km to

timama [110]

Answer:

3.486 km

Explanation:

Suppose Joe and Max's directions are perfectly perpendicular (east vs north). We can calculate their distance at the destinations using Pythagorean theorem:

$s = \sqrt{J^2 + M^2}$

where J = 0.5 km and M= 3.45 km are the distances between Joe and Max to their original parting point, respectively. s is the distance between them.

$s = \sqrt{0.5^2 + 3.45^2} = \sqrt{12.1525} = 3.486 km$
