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>

The slope of a Velocity versus Time graph will tell you the object’s what?
Verizon [17]
Hope it helped you.

My name is Charlie.

Today this question is about science,or chemistry.

A. Acceleration is a correct answer. Acceleration is a rate of change in velocity. 

It change in velocity/change in time. Next, to slope will be indicated by the acceleration.

B Change in position is a incorrect answer.

C. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is a displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. It can used two measurements are needed to determine velocity. It displacement or by the time. Displacement it includes a direction, so the velocity will also includes a direction. It can used speed with direction. Velocity it can be average velocity or an instantaneous velocity.

Have a great day!

A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

What kind of energy is represented by KE?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depends on what you are measuring.

For example, in Chemistry, KE is measuring temperature. Temperature is the average of all the molecules present and their motion (using a gas as our base).

In physics, KE at beginning levels, is the speed of a moving object.
