Please help me for my test tomm. Ill be waiting for replys

A miniture 8Newton truck travels at 3.2 m/s on a horzantol beneath a loading tube. When directly under the tube a 1.60 k/g of weight falls instantaneously in the truck. what is the velocity AFTER the car is loaded with the weight...

so the final velocity is definetly under 3.2 m/s.

Anyoneeee?????? please show me the steps and equations thanksss

You have to calculate p=massXspeed before the "collision". The quantity remains constant, so if the mass increases, the speed must decreases by the same ratio for the p to stay the same. (First, you have to convert the 8N weight to a mass using the 9,8N/kg gravity constant)

This is a momentum question.

Momentum = mass X speed

Momentum (Mo) is conserved so the Mo of the truck empty has to equal the Mo of the truck after the weight falls into it.

The Mo of the truck empty is 8N. Using the equation for momentum we can calculate the truck's empty mass:

Mo = mass X speed, so 8 = mass X 3.2

Therefore, mass = 8/3.2 = 2.5 kg

The final mass of the truck and the weight equals 2.5kg + 1.60kg = 4.1kg

Remembering that momentum is unchanged, we can calculate the final speed of the truck using our momentum equation:

Momentum = mass X speed

Therefore,

8N = (4.1)(speed)

Therefore, speed = 8/4.1 = 1.95 m/s

listen to the angel guy, what he says is correct

in the horizontal direction The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum

the 8N is the Force of the car due to gravity, which is also equal to mg, mass itmes the gravitational constant, 9.8.

mv = m'v' so v', the second velocity is = mv/m'

m' is the second weight, or m + the 1.6 kg weight

you have to use momentum, they give you weight so that you can find the mass(just divide the 8 newtons by 9.8), then multiply it by the initial velocity, then final momentum has to equal the initial momentum so the initial momentum is equal to the mass of the truck plus the mass of the thing that fell on it times a velocity.

whoa that would not sound good in any respect... whether that's a canon like explosion idk what to enable you to already know guy i might get it regarded at via a specialist. my wager is the the perplexing drives study/write head is having a perplexing time allocating records.. or the playstation is overloading compactors and their popping (no longer good)? now in case you're exaggerating a sprint approximately it being as loud as a cannon... it is going to possibly no longer be as undesirable. with a bit of luck consistent with threat a cd-rom project? in case you're brave open the area of the case and hear which area is making the noise... that should very much help out narrowing it right down to what's making that noise.
