Question

5. A 1000-kg car traveling west at 30 m/s collides with a 1000-kg truck traveling south at 20 m/s. The
occupants, wearing seat belts, are uninjured, but the two vehicles move away from the impact point
as one. The insurance adjustor asks you to find the velocity of the wreckage just after impact. What
is your answer?

Expert Solution

Step 1To determine,

Velocity of the wreckage after the impact.

Given,

$Speed of car (v_{c}) = 30 {ms}^{- 1} speed of truck (v_{t}) = 20 {ms}^{- 1} mass of truck (m) = mass of car (m) = 1000 kg$

Kyle, a 80.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.437 m off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0358 m away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast u was the ball traveling? Vs m/s
A 50.0 kg penguin is skiing, her velocity is facing north at 5.0 m/s. She runs into a 28.0 kg sea lion. After they are moving together at (velocity) of 2.0 m/s with an angle of 40 degrees north of east. Find the magnitude of the sea lions velocity before the accident?
A 142g baseball is moving at 17.0 m / s in the + x direction. When hit with a bat by a baseball player, its final velocity is 21.0 m / s in the -x direction. The bat acts on the ball for 6.0 x 10⁻² s. What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the bat on the ball?
A 4.10-kg steel ball strikes a wall with a speed of 11.0 m/s at an angle of ? = 60.0° with the surface. It bounces off with the same speed and angle (see figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.200 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball? (Assume right and up are the positive directions.) Fx = Fy =
A 0.020 kg bullet is shot horizontally and collides with a 2.00 kg block of wood. The bullet embeds in the block and the block slides along a horizontal surface for 1.50 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.400, what was the original speed of the bullet? Include a diagram of the situation.
An object, in initially travelling 45° south of east at 100 m/s, explodes into three separate pieces. A 2.0 kg fragment travels due south at 105 m/s, while a 4.0 kg fragment travels due east at 155 m/s. The last fragment has a mass of 3.0 kg. The third fragment travels at an unknown velocity. Calculate its direction and magnitude of this unknown velocity.
A 38.0-kg boy, riding a 1.90-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.60 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 9.60° above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer.
A baseball arrives at home plate at a speed of 43.3 m/s. The batter hits the ball along the same straight line directly back at the pitcher at 68.4 m/s (think about the directions). The baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg and the bas is in contact with the ball for 6.28x10^-4 s. What is the magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat?
A 3.12-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of ? = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.206 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball? magnitude N direction
A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 11.9 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.2 m/s in the opposite direction. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.10 seconds, then the magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact is? Enter only a numerical answer. Do not include units in the answer box, else your response will be counted as incorrect.
Hunter aims his gun vertically and shoots a 465 g game, which is positioned, on a telephone pole. The bullet has a mass of 60 g and is traveling at a velocity of 450 m/s upwards just before it hits the target. The bullet passes through the target, emerging with a velocity of 295 m/s upwards. How high does the target rise after being hit by the bullet?
A 980-kgkg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2500-kgkg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.9 mm before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. v= ? m/s *0.40 and 0.76 m/s are wrong
