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

Answer:

Weight = 8.162 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.2 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 3.71 N/kg

To find the weight of the textbook;

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 2.2 * 3.71

Weight = 8.162 N

Therefore, the weight of the science textbook in mars is 8.162 Newton.

Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough.<br><br> T or F
Sloan [31]
I think the correct answer is true. Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough. Light only reflects to surfaces which has a smooth texture or have a uniform texture on the surface. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

A car was moving at 14 m/s After 30 s, its speed increased to 20 m/s. What was the acceleration during this time ( need help fas
Arada [10]

Answer:let initial velocity u=14m/s

Final velocity v=20m/s

Time taken t=30

Acceleration =a

V=u +at

a= (20-14)/30

a=0.2m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.
