At an intersection, a 1500 kg car traveling east at 25 m/s collides with a 2500 kg van traveling north at 20 m/s. Find the direction and magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together)

Explanation:

Mass of the car, m = 1500 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s east

Mass of the van, m' = 2500 kg

Initial speed of van, u' = 20 m/s north

It is assumed that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision. The law of conservation of linear momentum gives the velocity after the collision as :

Magnitude of velocity,

Direction,

multiply 2kg by latent heat of vap

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
