in an automobile crash, a vehicle that was stopped at a red light is rear-ended by another vehicle. The vehicles have the same m

ass. If the tire marks show that the two vehicles moved after the collision at 4 m/s, what was the speed of the vehicle before the collision

The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

  • Let the mass of the vehicle = m
  • Let the initial speed of the vehicle stopped = u
  • The initial speed of the vehicle parked at the red light = 0

<h3>Principle of conservation of linear momentum</h3>
  • The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\mu + m(0) = 4(m+ m)\\\\mu = 4(2m)\\\\mu = 8m\\\\u = 8 \ m/s

Thus, the initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

A water trough is m long and a cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is cm wide at the bottom, cm wide at t
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The rate of water level rising when the water is 30 cm deep will be 1/30 m/min.

<h3 /><h3>What is volume?</h3>

The term “volume” refers to the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by an item or a closed surface. It is denoted by V and its SI unit is in cubic cm.

The complete question is;

"A water trough is 10m long and has a cross-section which is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid

that is 30cm wide at the bottom, 80cm wide at the top, and has a height of 50cm. If the trough is being filled with water at the rate of 0.2 m3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 30cm deep?"

b1 is the width of the water at a height at the bottom

b2 is the width of the water at the height at the top

The length of the trapezoid is L

The volume of the trapezoid is found as;

\rm V = 0.5(b_1 + b_2)hL

The breadth rises by 1 as the height does, therefore which implies

\rm \frac{dh}{dt} =\frac{dw}{dt}

The water's breadth at the combined height is [0.3 + h]

\rm V = 5h(0.3 +(0.3 + h))\\\\ V = 3h + 5h^2

After differentiation we get;

\rm  \frac{dv }{dt} =3 \frac{dh}{dt} +10 h  \frac{dh}{dt} \\\\\ \frac{ \frac{dv }{dt}}{3+10h}=\frac{dh}{dt} \\\\\   \frac{dv }{dt}= 0.2 \\\\\  h = 0.3 \\\\ \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{30}  m/min

Hence the rate of water level rising when the water is 30 cm deep will be 1/30 m/min.

If there were no air resistance, how long would it take a free-falling skydiver to fall from a plane at 3500 m to an altitude of
xxMikexx [17]

By equation of motion we have S = ut + 0.5 at^{2}

Where u = Initail velocity, S= dispalcement, t = time taken, a = acceleration

Here S = 3500-400 = 3100m, u = 0m/s, g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

So, 3100 = 0+0.5*9.8*t^{2}

       t^{2} = 3100/4.9

       t = \sqrt{3100/4.9}

      t = 25.15 seconds

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4363.3231 feets²

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance, r = 50 ft

θ = 200°

The arc length of area covered :

Arc length = θ/360° * πr²

Arc length = (200/360) * 50 ft ^2 * π

Arc length = 0.5555555 * 2500 * π

Arc length = 4363.3231 feets²
