Given
Car 1
m1 = 1300 kg
v1 = 20 m/s
m2 = 900 kg
v2 = -15 m/s
(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)
Procedure
As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,
Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
Answer:
a=0 v = v₀ + a t
a=0 line is horizontal
Explanation:
1, In a graph of acceleration vs. time, we have lines, when the line is horizontal it is zero, when the line has a positive slope the increasing accelerations and when the slope is negative the decreasing acceleration
2, speed and relationship of a car is given by
v = v₀ + a t
where vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and tel time
in this case I will calcograph velocity vs. time the constant acceleration is a straight line.
In general from the graph we can find the initial velocity with the cut at that x and the acceleration of the car with the slope
