Answer:
The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m
The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m
Mass of the student, m = 100 kg
Potential energy of the spring, 
To find,
The velocity of the car.
Solution,
It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,
v = 0.774 m/s
So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.
Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.
Answer:
(a) v = 3..6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
Explanation:
from the question we have the following:
mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg
initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s
mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg
final velocity of the car (v) = ?
(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where
initial momentum = final momentum
Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V
24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v
96,000 = 27000v
v =3.6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
