A 1250 kg car is stopped at a traffic light. A 3550 kg truck moving at 8.33 m/s strikes the car from behind, causing the bumpers

to lock together.
A) What is the momentum of the car-truck system before the collision?

B) What is the momentum of the car-truck system after the collision?

C) How fast do the car and truck move after the collision?

(Do NOT put any links or reproductions, I just need help with this.)​

A) Before the collision, the total momentum is

(1250 kg) (0 m/s) + (3550 kg) (8.33 m/s) ≈ 29,600 kg•m/s

B) Momentum is conserved, so after the collision it is still approximately 29,600 kg•m/s.

C) If v is the speed of the locked car-truck system, then

(1250 kg) (0 m/s) + (3550 kg) (8.33 m/s) = (1250 kg + 3550 kg) v

Solve for v :

29,571.5 kg•m/s = (4800 kg) v

v ≈ 6.16 m/s

A certain automobile is 6.0 m long if at rest. If it is measured to be 4.8 m long while moving, its speed is:
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

1.8*10^8m/s

Explanation:

Using

L= lo√1-v²/c²

So making v subject we have

V= c√1-4.8²/6²

V= 0.6*c

V= 0.6*3E8m/s

V= 1.8*10^8m/s

ANSWER ASAP Which factor determines the amount of gas that can dissolve in ocean water? (A) the motion of the air above the ocea
Andru [333]

Answer:

The amount of each gas that can dissolve in the ocean depends on the solubility and saturation of the gas in water. Solubility refers to the amount of a dissolved gas that the water can hold under a particular set of conditions, which are usually defined as 0o C and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

What do the different colors in a line spectrum represent? why are the spectra for each element unique?
Lana71 [14]
They typically represents different wavelengths of element due to its energy emission in the form of visible light. When an electron of that particular element move from a higher energy level down to a lower energy level, it gives off energy in the form of photon emission. Atom of a certain element has a unique electron arrangement thus it can considered that particular element's spectrum is unique.
