a trcuk weighs four times as much as a stationary car. if teh truck coasts into the car at 12 km/s and they stick toegther, what
1 answer:
Answer:
v=9.6 km/s
Explanation:
Given that
The mass of the car = m
The mass of the truck = 4 m
The velocity of the truck ,u= 12 km/s
The final velocity when they stick = v
If there is no any external force on the system then the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.
Pi = Pf
m x 0 + 4 m x 12 = (m + 4 m) x v
0 + 48 m = 5 m v
5 v = 48
v=9.6 km/s
Therefore the final velocity will be 9.6 km/s.

Answer:
12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
Explanation:
In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:
12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
