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

How long does it take to change a flat plain into mountains?
ss7ja [257]
It would take millions of years to form a mountain as plates move very slowly and to form it first one plate should climb upon another. After this very slowly this hill will convert into a mountain.

How would the photos set up change the mechanical advantage of lifting the block as compared with lifting the block without a le
lisabon 2012 [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

  The mechanical advantage would decrease, making the block more difficult to lift.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mechanical advantage in such a setup is the ratio of distance from A to B to the distance from D to B. In this picture, that ratio is less than 1, meaning the advantage of having this setup is less than the advantage of no setup at all.

While the force required to lift the block is increased by this setup, the distance over which that force is applied will be smaller for raising the block to a given height. (Overall, for the same height, more work is required with the lever setup because you're raising part of the mass of the lever as well as the mass of the block.)
