Answer: Option b, the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.
Explanation:
Here we will use the conservation of the total momentum of a system.
This means that the total momentum at the beginning must be the same as the final momentum.
Where momentum is:
P = M*v
Initially, we have two cars, both with the same mass M, and only one of them has a velocity v.
Then the initial momentum is:
P = M*v + M*0 = M*v
After the collision, the two cars move together. Then the total mass that is moving is equal to the sum of the masses of the cars, this is 2*M
and we can suppose that the two cars move at a final velocity v'
Then the final momentum is:
P' = (2*M)*v'
Now we use the conservation of momentum, then:
P = P'
M*v = (2*M)*v'
Now we need to solve this for v'
(M*v)/(2*M) = v'
v/2 = v'
This means that the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.
Then the correct option is option b.
a rugby player passes the ball 5.34 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. at what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 7.7 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used
Answer:
[tex]31.035^{\circ}[/tex]
Explanation:
x = Displacement in x direction = 5.34 m
t = Time taken to travel the displacement
y = Displacement in y direction = 0
u = Initial velocity of ball = 7.7 m/s
g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]
Displacement in x direction is given by
[tex]x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{5.34}{7.7 \cos\theta}[/tex]
Displacement in y direction is given by
[tex]y=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81 (\dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta})^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta-4.905\times \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin\theta \cos\theta-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\dfrac{\sin2\theta}{2}-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin2\theta-4.905\times5.34\times 2\\\Rightarrow \sin2\theta=\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}\\\Rightarrow 2\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{62.07}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.035^{\circ}[/tex]
The angle at which the ball was thrown is [tex]31.035^{\circ}[/tex].
Which of the following is a contact force?
Magnetic
Friction
Electric
Gravity
Answer:
magnetic
Explanation:
because magnetic attracted other magnetic by pulling them contact forcely that creates a strong force when they are nearly close to one another
Two automobiles, each of mass 1000 kg, are moving at the same speed, 20 m/s, when they collide and stick together. In what direction and at what speed does the wreckage move (a) if one car was driving north and one south (b) if one car was driving north and one east?
A. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.
B. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 9.0 m/s to the north.
C. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 9.0 m/s to the south.
D. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the north.
E. The wreckage after collision is motionless.
Answer:
The reckage after collision is motionless (E)
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
The kind of collision described in the question above is known as a perfectly inelastic collision, and in this type of collision, the maximum kinetic energy is lost because the objects moving in opposite directions have a resultant momentum that is equal, but in opposite directions hence they cancel each other out.
The calculation is as follows:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
where:
m₁ = m₂ = 1000kg
v₁ = 20 m/s
v₂ = -20 m/s ( in the opposite vector direction)
∴ resultant momentum = (1000 × 20) + (1000 × -20)
= 20000 - 20000 = 0
∴ The reckage after collision is motionless
Answer:
The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.

(What is the weight of a 50 kg woman at the top of Jupiter's
atmosphere, where g = 24.8 N/kg? Give your answer in both
newtons and pounds.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1240 newtons; 278.763 lbs.
Explanation:
If an object is placed at distance of 16cm from a plane mirror, How far would it be from it's image?
Explanation:
A plane mirror always creates an image with the same distance to the mirror as the object, only in the other direction. So both of them have a distance of 10cm, one is 10cm to the left, one 10cm to the right, thus their mutual distance is 20cm
Explain what happens to the movement, energy and arrangement of particles during the process
of distillation.
Answer:
Distillation separates a liquid from a solution. For example, water can be separated from salty water by simple distillation. This method works because the water evaporates from the solution, but is then cooled and condensed into a separate container. The salt does not evaporate and so it stays behind.
