Answer:

Speed of the cars after the collision is 3.34 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one car, m₁ = 1500 kg

Velocity of this car, v₁ = + 30 m/s ( in east )

Mass of other car, m₂ = 3000 kg

Velocity of other car, v₂ = - 20 m/s (in south)

The two cars stick together after the collision. It is a case of inelastic collision. Let v is the speed of cars after collision. It can be calculated using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{1500\ kg\times 30\ m/s+3000\ kg\times (-20\ m/s)}{1500\ kg+3000\ kg}

v = -3.34 m/s

So, the speed of the cars after the collision is 3.34 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

PLEASE HELP!!!<br>How are middle latitude cyclones and tropical cyclones different from each other?
defon
In contrast, extratropical cyclones have their strongest winds near the tropopause, which is about 8 miles above the surface. These differences are due to the tropical cyclone being “warm-core” in the troposphere, whereas extra-tropical cyclones are “warm-core” in the stratosphere and “cold-core” in the troposphere.

An object accelerating at 16 m/s/s doubles its mass and triples its net force acting on it. What will the new acceleration be? (
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

24 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial acceleration of the object, a = 16 m/s²

Let 'm' represent the initial mass of the object

The initial force acting on the object, F = m × a

∴ F = 16 × m = 16·m

When the mass is doubled, we have;

The new mass of the object, m₂ = 2 × m = 2·m

When the net force acting on the object triples, we have;

The new net force acting on the object, F₂ = 3 × F = 3 × 16·m = 48·m

From F = m × a, we have;

a = F/m

∴ The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = F₂/m₂

From which, by plugging in the values, we have;

a₂ = 48·m/(2·m) = 24

The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = 24 m/s².

When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Power output = 96.506 watts

Explanation:

Drag coefficient (Cd) = 0.9

V = 7.3 m/s

Air density (ρ) = 1.225 kg/m^(3)

Area (A) = 0.45 m^2

Let's find the drag force ;

Fd=(1/2)(Cd)(ρ)(A)(v^(2))

So Fd = (1/2)(0.9)(1.225)(0.45)(7.3^(2)) = 13.22N

Drag power = Drag Force x Drag velocity.

Thus drag power, = 13.22 x 7.3 = 96.506 watts
