Answer:

Speed = 24 m/s.

No! It doesn't break the speed limit.

Explanation:

The formula we'll be using to find the car's speed:

\boxed{ \mathsf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }}

The detectors are placed 1.2 m apart.

==> Distance the car travels = 1.2 m

The car, it says, takes 0.050 s to travel that distance.

==> Time taken by the car to travel 1.2 m = 0.050 s

Using the formula mentioned above, let's calculate the speed of the car:

\sf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }

\implies \sf{speed =  \frac{1.2}{0.050} }

<em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>obtain</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

\implies \sf{speed = 24 \: m/s }

Any car traveling with a speed that is greater than or equal to <u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u> is breaking the speed limit.

And since the car in our focus is traveling at 24 m/s that is less than 25 m/s, it doesn't break the speed limit.

A 1000 kg car moving a 10 m/s collides with a stationary 2000 kg truck. The two vehicles interlock as a result of the collision.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

v₃ = 3.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be easily solved using the principle of linear momentum conservation. Which tells us that momentum is preserved before and after the collision.

In this way, we can propose the following equation in which everything that happens before the collision will be located to the left of the equal sign and on the right the moment after the collision.

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(m_{2}*v_{2})=(m_{1}+m_{2})*v_{3}

where:

m₁ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the car = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the truck = 0 (stationary)

v₃ = velocity of the two vehicles after the collision [m/s].

Now replacing:

(1000*10)+(2000*0)=(1000+2000)*v_{3}\\v_{3}=3.33[m/s]
