Ответ:
v = 27 m/s
Explanation:
To find the speed of cars after the collision you take into account the momentum conservation law. Total momentum of both cars before the collision must be equal to the total momentum of both cars after the collision.
After the collision both cars traveled together, then you have:
m1: mass of the Toyota = 3-ton = 3000 kg
m2: mass of the taxi = 2-ton = 2000kg
v1: speed of the Toyota before the collision = 45m/s
v2: speed of the car before the collision = 0 m/s (it is at rest)
v: speed of both cars after the collision = ?
You solve the equation (1) for v:
Next, you replace the values of the rest of the variables:
hence, just after the collision both cars have a speed of 27m/s
Ответ:
-200 N
Explanation:
Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration The S.I unit is N
The expression for force is given as
F = m(v-u)/t Equation 1
Where F = Impact force, m = mass of the lorry , v = Final velocity of the lorry , u = initial velocity of the lorry, t = time
Given: m = 6000 kg, v = 0 m/s (the lorry was stopped), u = 0.5 m/s, t = 1.5 s
Substitute into equation 1
F = 6000(0-0.5)/1.5
F = -300/1.5
F = -200 N.
Note: The negative sign shows that the impact force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the lorry
