A car of mass 1000 kg travelling at a velocity of 25 m/s collides with another car of mass 1500kg which is at rest. The two cars stick and move off together. What is the velocity of the two cars after the collision?
Answers
Answer:
The velocity of the two cars is 10 m/s after the collision.
Explanation:
Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is
P=m.v
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of them all
[tex]P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n[/tex]
If some collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:
[tex]P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n[/tex]
In a system of two masses, the law of conservation of linear momentum takes the form:
[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2[/tex]
If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:
[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'[/tex]
The car of mass m1=1000 Kg travels at v1=25 m/s and collides with another car of m2=1500 Kg which is at rest (v2=0).
Knowing both cars stick and move together after the collision, their velocity is found solving for v':
[tex]\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle v'=\frac{1000*25+1500*0}{1000+1500}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle v'=\frac{25000}{2500}[/tex]
v' = 10 m/s
The velocity of the two cars is 10 m/s after the collision.

What happens to the boat when its weight is greater than the buoyant force?
What happens to the boat when its weight is less than the buoyant force?
What happens to the boat when its weight is equal to the buoyant force?
Answers
Answer:
1. and 2. If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object rises to the surface and floats. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object sinks. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object can remain suspended at its present depth.
3. When the buoyant force equals one ton, it will sink no further. When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the “principle of flotation” where a floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

1. George Eliot pulls on a curtain string. If the curtain has a mass of 1.2 kg and she can pull
it so that it accelerates at a rate of 4 m/s2, what is the force she exerts on the curtain
string?
Answers
Answer:
F = 4.8 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the curtain, m = 1.2 kg
Acceleration of the pull, a = 4 m/s²
We need to find the force she exerts on the curtain.
We know that,
F = ma
Put al the values,
F = 1.2 kg × 4 m/s²
= 4.8 N
So, the force is 4.8 N.

A horizontal force of 20 N is applied to the object. Will the force applied make the object move?
Answers
It depends on two factors: The direction of application of force and the coefficient of friction, [tex]\mu[/tex], between the object and the surface on which the object is placed.
If the direction of application of force is vertically downwards, then the object will not move for any value of [tex]\mu[/tex].
If the coefficient of friction is zero, [tex]\mu=0[/tex], then any value of force that is not in a vertically downward direction, the object will move.
If the direction of application of force is not vertically downwards, then it depends on the value of frictional force.

why does a thrown football have both potential and kinetic energy?what is the combined energy called?
i will give brainliest to who ever answers this question in a paraghraph
Answers
Answer:
The thrown football has Potential or stored Energy, PE, by virtue of its position in the air and the ability for it to fall by itself. The thrown football also has Kinetic Energy, KE, given that the ball is in motion and requires an equal and opposite amount of energy to stop it. Both the PE and the KE are forms of Mechanical Energy, ME and the Mechanical Energy of the football is equal to the sum of its Potential and Kinetic Energy. That is ME = PE + KE
Explanation:
Potential energy, PE, is the energy that is the held or stored energy of a body such that the body is able to do work without the addition of energy from an external source
A thrown football that has an elevation or height above the floor level has the capacity to come back down and bounce on the floor without the presence of assistance at the topmost height of the football. Therefore, the thrown football has potential energy, given to it by the thrower
Kinetic Energy, KE, is the energy possessed by a moving that comes from the motion of the object
Given that the thrown football is in motion, it posses kinetic energy
Therefore, the thrown football possesses both potential energy and kinetic energy which are forms of mechanical energy ME
The combined energy of the football is therefore called the Mechanical Energy ME of the ball which is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of the football, given as follows;
The Mechanical Energy of the football = The Potential Energy of the football + The Kinetic Energy of the football
∴ ME = PE + KE
A sled is moving down a steep hill. The mass of the sled is 50 kg and the net force acting on it is 20 N. What must be done to find the acceleration of the sled?
Answers
You need to first measure the angle of descent, i.e. the angle the hill makes with the ground. Then identify the forces acting on the sled, split them up into horizontal and vertical components, or into components that are parallel and perpendicular to the hill, and use Newton's second law to determine the components of the sled's acceleration vector.
There are at least 2 forces acting on the sled:
• its weight, pointing downward with magnitude W = m g
• the normal force, pointing perpendicular to the hill and away from the ground with mag. N
The question doesn't specify, but there might also be friction to consider, indicated in the attachment by the vector F pointing parallel to the slope of the hill and opposing the direction of the sled's motion with mag. F.
Splitting up the forces into parallel/perpendicular components is less work. By Newton's second law, the net force (denoted with ∑ or "sigma" here) in a particular direction is equal to the mass of the sled times its acceleration in that direction:
∑ (//) = W (//) = m a (//)
∑ (⟂) = W (⟂) + N = m a (⟂)
where, for instance, W (//) denotes the component of the sled's weight in the direction parallel to the hill, while a (⟂) denotes the component of the sled's acceleration perpendicular to the hill. If there is friction, you need to add -F to the first equation.
If the hill makes an angle of θ with flat ground, then W makes the same angle with the hill so that
W (//) = -m g sin(θ)
W (⟂) = -m g cos(θ)
So we have
-m g sin(θ) = m a (//) → a (//) = -g sin(θ)
-m g cos(θ) + N = m a (⟂) → a (⟂) = 0
where the last equality follows from the fact that the normal force exactly opposes the perpendicular component of the weight. This is because the sled is moving along the slope of the hill, and not into the air or into the ground.
Then the acceleration vector is
a = a (//)
with magnitude
||a|| = a = g sin(θ).

To find the acceleration, you do 20N/50kg = 0.4 m/s^2

Jim and Bob send a car careening off a cliff. The car has a velocity of 16 m/s when it went off the cliff and it lands 35 m from the base of the cliff. How long was the car in the air? How high is the cliff?
Answers
Answer:
The time spent in air by the car is 2.19 s
The height of the cliff is 58.5 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the car, u = 16 m/s
horizontal distance traveled, R = 35 m
The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;
R = vt
where;
t is the time spent in air by the projectile
t = R/v
t = 35 / 16
t = 2.19 s
The height of the cliff is given as;
h = ut + ¹/₂gt²
h = (16 x 2.19) + ¹/₂(9.8)(2.19)²
h = 58.5 m

explain the relationship between mass and acceleration
Answers
Answer:
Explanation: Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf Inverse \ Relation}[/tex]
Explanation:
According to Newton's Second Law Of Motion:
"The acceleration produced by the body is directly proportional to the force acting on the body and inversely proportional to mass."
So, The Mathematical Form will be:
Acceleration ∝ [tex]\sf \frac{1}{mass}[/tex]
So, Acceleration and mass are inversely proportional. This means that Greater the mass, Smaller will be the acceleration produced and vice versa.
