Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}

k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}

k = 200000 + 290400

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
