Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
acceleration of the truck, 
= 12.7 m/s²
mass of the truck, 
= 2490 kg
mass of the car, 
= 890 kg
let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = 
Apply Newton's third law of motion;
Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.
The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.
Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²
Answer:
0 J
Explanation:
Work equals force times distance, but the force is zero because the crate being dragged will have zero acceleration. Force equals mass times acceleration and since acceleration is zero, force has to equal zero as well. Since the force is zero, the work required also has to be zero.
The formula for kinetic energy is,
where m is mass and v is velocity.
Let's plug the given values in the formula.
It's kinetic energy is 64 Joules.
