answer choices on the second screenshot Two trucks travel at constant velocities until they collide. The truck on the right has a mass of 1000kg and a speed of 3 m/s, and the moving van on the left has a mass of 8000 kg and a speed of 4m/s. Three physics students are discussing the moment the trucks collide, and each make a claimabout the forces on each truck.Student 1 I think that the truck will get hit harder than the moving van. Since themoving van has a bigger mass, the truck will also have a higheracceleration.Student 2 The moving van will feel a greater force than the smaller truck. Since themoving van was moving faster originally, it will have a higher acceleration.Student 3 Both the truck and the moving van will be hit with the same force. Sincethe truck has a smaller mass, it will experience a larger acceleration.Which of the following identifies a mistake in one of the students' claims and explains why it isincorrect? Which of the following identifies a mistake in one of the students’ claims and explains why it isincorrect?1) Student 1 is incorrect because a larger mass will always have a smaller acceleration.2) Student 2 is incorrect because both trucks will experience the same amount of force3) Student 3 is incorrect because Newton's third law tells us that both trucks must experienceequal force and equal acceleration4) All of the students are incorrect because collisions have to do with momentum, not forcesor acceleration

According to conservation of momentum Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Three forces of magnitudes F1=4.0N, F2=6.0N, and F3=8.0N are applied to a block of mass m=2.0kg, initially at rest, at angles shown on the diagram. (Figure 1) In this problem, you will determine the resultant (net) force by combining the three individual force vectors. All angles should be measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis (i.e., all angles are positive). How far (in meters) will the block move in 5.0 s? Recall that it starts from rest.
help please. If a 1467 kg car, moving at 9 m/s north, hits and sticks to a 2237 kg truck, moving at 10 m/s south, and they travel off together at the same speed, find that speed. Hint: here the masses are moving in opposite directions, so the velocities should have opposite signs. Call North positive and South negative. Use the "hit and stick" or inelastic formula Also, a positive answer would indicate motion to the north and a negative answer would show southward motion - leave positive/negative in your answer.
Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right!! In the figure, block A (mass 1.6 kg) slides into block B (mass 2.9 kg), along a frictionless surface. The directions of velocities before and after the collision are indicated; the corresponding speeds are vAi = 5.7 m/s, vBi = 2.7 m/s, and vBf = 4.4 m/s. What is velocity vAf (including sign, where positive denotes motion to the right)?
he FBD of the block should have looked like this. 1. A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a block of ice of mass m across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and ice is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. θ is the angle the force makes with the x-axis. In this part, we are going to set-up Newton's second Law equations for the cases(1) when the ice block just starts moving, and(2) when it is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a. All answers are symbolic. ALL ANSWERS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. Subpart 1: Newton's Second Law along the y-axis (i) Write Newton's Second Law along the y-axis by adding all forces in the y-direction taking into account their signs (forces pointing upwards are positive and downward are negative) in terms of the normal force N, weight mg, F and θ. In both scenarios, there is no acceleration along the y-direction, therefore, ay=0.…
