A 1200-kg car is traveling at 22.m/s. It collides with a stationary car of mass 1500kg, and the two vehicles lock together. What is the speed of the combined cars immediately after the collision?

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

96.77 amp

explanation:

rl = 250/100 = 2.5 ohms.

egl = 250 + (100 × 0.1) + 2 = 262 v.

at 700 r.p.m., eg2 = 262 × 700/1000 = 183.4 v.

if ia is the new current, then eg2 - 2 - (ia × 0.1) = 2.5 ia

which means this will give ia = 96.77 amp.
