A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together

and move together after collision. What is the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass? If Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * m * v^2, calculate the KE before the crash and the KE of the combined vehicles after the crash.

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.
sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.

zimovet [89]
The more you mix salt with water the more the salt will dissolve
The act of dissolving in chemistry describes a physical change such as change in shape or state. Its important to remember that physical change does not change the chemical state.

An automobile having a mass of 2000 kg deflects its suspension springs 0.02 m under static conditions. Determine the nafural fre
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:Frequency = 3.525 Hertz

Explanation:In static equilibrium, kd =mg

Where k= effective spring constant of the spring.

mg= The weight of the car.

d= static deflection.

Therefore, w =SQRTg/d

w = SQRT 9.81/0.02

w= 22.15 rad/sec

Converting to Hertz unit for frequency

1 rad/s = 0.1591

22.15rad/s=?

22.15 × 0.1591= 3.525 hertz
