If an 800.0 Kg sports car slows to 8.0 m/s in the forward direction to check out an accident scene and a 1200.0 kg pick-up truck

behind them continues traveling at 15.0 m/s forward, with what velocity will the two move if they lock bumpers after a rear-end collision

Answer:

<h2><u>12.2m/s</u></h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m1=800kg

velocity v1=8m/s

mass m2= 1200kg

velocity v2=15m/s

Note: the two bodies move with the same velocity after collision, hence the common velocity is v=?

Step two:

the expression for the total momentum is

m1v1+m2v2=v(m1+m2)

substituting we have

800*8+1200*15=v(800+1200)

6400+18000=v(2000)

24400=2000v

divide both sides by 2000 to find v

v=24400/2000

v=12.2m/s

<u>Their common velocity is 12.2m/s</u>

Explique ¿por que un objeto que tiene energía es capaz de realizar un trabajo?
Nana76 [90]
By striking another object that is free to move, the moving object can exert a force and cause the second object to shift its position. While the object is moving, it has the capacity for doing work. Energy means the ability to do work, so all moving things have energy by virtue of their motion.




Translation: Al golpear otro objeto que se puede mover libremente, el objeto en movimiento puede ejercer una fuerza y ​​hacer que el segundo objeto cambie de posición. Mientras el objeto se mueve, tiene la capacidad de realizar un trabajo. Energía significa la capacidad de realizar un trabajo, por lo que todas las cosas en movimiento tienen energía en virtud de su movimiento.

What two motions combine to produce an orbit?
Ivenika [448]

I'm pretty sure it's Inertia and Gravity

Inertia deals with an object's tendency to stay in motion at a constant speed.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.
