car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s

and has a mass of 3,825 kg. After the collision, car 1 has a final velocity of 6 m/s south. What is the velocity of car 2

Answer:

v_{4}= 80.92[m/s] (Heading south)

Explanation:

In order to calculate this problem, we must use the linear moment conservation principle, which tells us that the linear moment is conserved before and after the collision. In this way, we can propose an equation for the solution of the unknown.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

Let's take the southward movement as negative and the northward movement as positive.

-(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=-(m_{1}*v_{3})+(m_{2}*v_{4})

where:

m₁ = mass of car 1 = 14650 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of car 1 = 18 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of car 2 = 3825 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of car 2 = 11 [m/s]

v₃ = velocity of car 1 after the collison = 6 [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of car 2 after the collision [m/s]

-(14650*18)+(3825*11)=(14650*6)-(3825*v_{4})\\v_{4}=80.92[m/s]

What is time and speed and acceleration
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction. Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. Average acceleration is determined over a "long" time interval.

4. How long will it take a car travelling with a speed of 160 km hr to cover a distance of 700 meters? Hint: km/hr should be con
Inessa [10]

Answer:

15.8 seconds

Explanation:

Create an extended calculation to convert all the unit to what you need.

160 km      1000 m       1 hour         1 min

----------- x ------------- x -------------- x ----------   =  44.4 m/s

1 hour            1 km         60 min      60 sec

So 160km/hr is equal to 44.4m/s

Now you can figure out how many seconds it will take to go 700 meters.

44.4 m          

----------   X     x sec   =  700 m

1  sec

Solve for x sec

x sec = 700m / 44.4 m/s

         =  15.8 seconds

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?
Leokris [45]
Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.
