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

Draw velocity-ime graph for uniform moion of an object , when initially body is at rest.
Klio2033 [76]
When the body is at rest, its speed is zero, and the graph lies on the x-axis.

When the body is in uniform motion, the speed is constant, and the graph is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis and some distance above it.

It's impossible to tell, based on the given information, how these two parts of the
graph are connected.  There must be some sloping (accelerated) portion of the graph
that joins the two sections, but it cannot be accounted for in either the statement
that the body is at rest or that it is in uniform motion, since acceleration ... that is,
any change of speed or direction ... is not 'uniform' motion'.

Tanya [424]

Answer: I'm not sure what it needs to be rounded to, but I got 37.53501401 m/s

Explanation: The formula for speed is speed = distance/time. You plug in the distance (13.40) and the time (0.357), then divide 13.40 by 0.357

I hope this helps! :)

A 0.111 kg hockey puck moving at 55 m/s is caught by a 80. kg goalie at rest. with what speed does the goalie slide on the frict
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.076 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m v = (m + M) V

(0.111 kg) (55 m/s) = (0.111 kg + 80. kg) V

V = 0.076 m/s

After catching the puck, the goalie slides at 0.076 m/s.
