A 2,400 kg car drives north toward a 60 kg shopping cart that has a velocity of zero. The two objects collide, giving the car a

final velocity of 4.33 m/s north and the shopping cart a velocity of 8.88 m/s north. What was the initial velocity of the car ?

Oksanka [162]

The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:

$W=Fd\cos\theta$

where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.

In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:

$\begin{gathered} W=(17)(12)\cos0+(36)(12)\cos30 \\ W=578.123 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

Which would most likely cause the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating r

dusya [7]

Answer: Using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating.

Explanation:

Most likely, what causes the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating ranges is using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating. This can lead to detonation of the engine which is the tendency for the fuel to pre-ignite or auto-ignite in an engine's combustion chamber.The cylinder head and the engine oil are part of the automobile systems that helps in fuel combustion.
