As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface. The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m, = 13.5 kg and m₂ = 45.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during and after the collision. p (kg - m/s) 100 40 Determine the velocity (in m/s) of car #2 before the collision. t(s)

QUESTION TWO: A car is capable of reaching 27 km/h from rest in 4 seconds on a level road against resistances amounting to 4% of the vehicle mass. If the car has a mass of 1200 kg, calculate the minimum distance over which it could reach 36km/h from rest if towing a caravan of mass 700 kg. Assume the tractive effort to be constant and the tractive resistance to be the same rate for car and caravan.
Two drivers, one owning a large Cadillac and the other owning a small Volkswagen, make a bet. The VW owner bets that this car can pull as hard as the Cadillac. They chain the two rear bumpers together in a large empty parking lot. Each driver gets into his car and applies full power. The Cadillac pulls the VW backward all over the lot. The driver of the VW later claims that this car was pulling on the chain as hard as the Cadillac all the time. What does Newton’s third law say in this case? Assume that the chain has negligible mass.
Question 3: Objects A and B are connected by a rope with fixed length of 7 ft. They start moving from rest at x = 0, being pulled by the constant 20-lb force. If the coefficient of kinetic friction 4 is 0.2 between both objects A, B and the contacting surface, what is the speed of object B when x = 4 ft? Neglect the friction at the pulley.

A physics teacher performs three different collision experiments in class.He uses two dynamics carts on an aluminum (frictionless) track.The red cart has a mass of 0.486kg and moves to the right with a speed of 0.255m/s.The blue cart has a mass of 0.267kg and moves to the left with a speed of 0.495m/s. a.In the first collision, the carts have Velcrostuck on the front of them. The carts stick to each other upon impact.Find the final velocity of the two carts after they have stuck together. b.In the second collision, the impact is cushioned by magnets on the fronts of the carts. The magnets do not provide a perfectly elastic collision.After the carts bounce away from each other, the red cart moves to the left with a speed of 0.205m/s.Determine the final velocity of the blue cart. c.In the third collision, the collision is cushioned by a hook’s law spring, which provides a perfectly elastic collision. i.Determine the final velocity of each cartafter the spring recoils (after it compresses…
An automobile driver took a curve too fast. The car spun out of control about its center of gravity (CG) and slid off the road in a northeasterly direction. The friction of the skidding tires provided a 0.25 g linear deceleration. The car rotated at 100 rpm. When the car hit the tree head-on at 30 mph, it took 0.1 sec to come to rest. The force exerted by the 100-lb child on her seatbelt harness as a result of the acceleration just prior to impact is 875 lbf 618 lbf 657 lbf 725 lbf
Question 3: Objects A and B are connected by a rope with fixed length of 7 ft. They start moving from rest at x = 0, being pulled by the constant 20-lb force. If the coefficient of kinetic friction µ is 0.2 between both objects A, B and the contacting surface, what is the speed of object B when x = 4 ft? Neglect the friction at the pulley.

Torsional springs provide a simple propulsion mechanism for toy cars. When the rear wheels are rotated as if the car were moving backward, they cause a torsional spring (with one end attached to the axle and the other to the body of the car) to wind up and store energy. Therefore, a simple way to charge the spring is to place the car onto a surface and to pull it backward, making sure that the wheels roll without slipping. Note that the torsional spring can only be wound by pulling the car backward; that is, the forward motion of the car unwinds the spring Let the weight of the car (body and wheels) be W = 5 oz, the weight of each of the wheels be Ww= 0.15 oz, and theradius of the wheels be r = 0.25 in., where the wheels roll without slip and can be treated as uniform disks. Neglecting friction internal to the car and letting the car’s torsional spring be linear with constant kt= 0.0002 ft-lb/rad, determinethe maximum speed achieved by the car if it is released from rest after pulling…
Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 2.50 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and block B (mass 5.00 kg) moves downward 1.80 m in 2.00 s. A)What is the tension force that the rope exerts on block B ?B)What is the tension force that the rope exerts on block A ?
For a technology project, a student has built a vehicle, of total mass 6.00 kg, that moves itself. As shown, it runs on four light wheels. A reel is attached to one of the axles, and a cord originally wound on the reel goes up over a pulley attached to the vehicle to support an elevated load. After the vehicle is released from rest, the load descends very slowly, unwinding the cord to turn the axle and make the vehicle move forward (to the left as shown). Friction is negligible in the pulley and axle bearings. The wheels do not slip on the floor. The reel has been constructed with a conical shape so that the load descends at a constant low speed while the vehicle moves horizontally across the floor with constant acceleration, reaching a final velocity of 3.00î m/s. (a) Does the floor impart impulse to the vehicle? If so, how much? (b) Does the floor do work on the vehicle? If so, how much? (c) Does it make sense to say that the final momentum of the vehicle came from the floor? If…
The W1= 87.85-lb block shown rests on a smooth plane (coefficient of kinetic friction = 0) with an angle of 0 =28° from horizontal. It is connected by a flexible inextensible cord that passes around weightless, frictionless pulleys to a support. The W2 =109.85-lb weight is attached as shown. After the system is released from rest, in what distance will the block on the plain attain a speed of 6.7 ft/s? шш W2 W1
Q4- Two blocks A and B of weight 350 N and 600 N. respectively are connected by a cord that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown in the Figure 8. Determine the force P to be applied to block B to produce the impending motion of block B down the plane. Fig. (8) Ma 0.5 50⁰ S H0.4 B 30°
A slowly moving conveyor belt passes through a small opening in a wall which is high enough to accommodate a single package, but a reckless worker stacks two packages on the belt. The one at the bottom, package 1 which has mass m1m1, continues, without slipping against the belt, through the opening. (The belt continues without slowing.) The one on the the top, package 2 with mass m2m2, presses firmly against the wall and slips across the lower package. The same coefficients of friction, μsμs and μkμk, apply between the pair of packages and between the package and the belt. Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the package as F⃗ g,iF→g,i, for i=1,2i=1,2. The normal force exerted by object aa on object bb, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ n,a→bF→n,a→b for a,b∈{1,2,belt,wall}a,b∈{1,2,belt,wall}, but a≠ba≠b. The force of kinetic friction exerted by object aa on object bb, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ k,a→bF→k,a→b for…
