Answer:

7.150 KJ

Explanation:

The total energy of a system is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy in the system. According to this question, the kinetic energy (KE) = 1368 J and a potential energy (PE) = 5782J.

Total energy of the system will be PE + KE as follows;

1368J + 5782J

= 7150J

However, the question demanded that the answer be in kJ (kilojoules), which is higher than the joules.

Since 1kJ = 1000J

7150J = 7150/1000

= 7.150kJ

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is √2F.

Explanation:

Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:

$F_N=\sqrt{F^{2}+F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2}F$
