In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.19P

14.19 and 14.20 Cruiser A was traveling east at 60 mi/h on a police emergency call when it was hit at an intersection by car B, which was traveling south at high speed. After sliding together on the wet pavement, the two cars hit cruiser C, which was traveling north at 45 mi/h and was 63 ft from the intersection at the time of the first collision. Stuck together, the three cars hit a wall and came to a stop at D. Knowing that car B weighs 3600 lb and that each of the cruisers weighs 3000 lb, solve the problems below neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement and treating the cars as point masses.

14.19 Knowing that the coordinates of point D are x_D = 42 ft and y_D = 46.5 ft, determine (a) the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at D, (b) the speed of car B.

Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.20P

Students have asked these similar questions

two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. at t=0, A and B are 3200ft apart. Their speeds are Va= 65 mi/h and Vb= 40 mi/h, and they are at points P and Q, respectively. knowing that A passes point Q 40s after B was there and that B passes point P 42s after A was there: A) determine the speed of B at the moment that it passes A in ft/s B.) when the vehicles pass each other in seconds C.) uniform acceleration of B in ft/s^2

At an intersection, car B was traveling south and car A was traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other. Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east. Each driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and that he tried to slow down but couldn’t avoid the crash because the other driver was going a lot faster. Knowing that the masses of cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, determine (a) which car was going faster, (b) the speed of the faster of the two cars if the slower car was traveling at the speed limit.

11.37 A small package is released from rest at A and moves along the skate wheel conveyor ABCD. The package has a uniform acceleration of 4.8 m/s² as it moves down sections AB and CD, and its velocity is con- stant between B and C. If the velocity of the package at D is 7.2 m/s, determine (a) the distance d between C and D, (b) the time required for the package to reach D. [10] 10 3 m Fig. P11.37 B -3 m- с 10 |0|| O
