Hey there!

We are given ,

Acceleration, a = -2m/s^2

Initial velocity , u = 15m/s

Time , t = 5 seconds

We know that ,
V=u+at

Now , final speed ,

V = 15+(-2)(5)

V = 15-10

V = 5 m/s -> final speed

Hope this helps you dear :)
Have a good day <3

Bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving -1.72 m/s. What is the veloc

Nuetrik [128]

The velocity of B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s

This type of collision is an elastic collision and we can use a formula to solve this problem.

<h3>Elastic Collision</h3>

$v_2 = \frac{2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2} - \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2}u_2$

The data given are;

m1 = 281kg
u1 = 2.82m/s
m2 = 209kg
u2 = -1.72m/s
v1 = ?

Let's substitute the values into the equation.

$v_1 = \frac{2*281*2.82}{281+209} -\frac{281-209}{281+209}(-1.72)\\v_1 = 3.45m/s$

From the calculation above, the final velocity of the car B after elastic collision is 3.45m/s.

Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.

A rope breaks when the tension reaches 205 N. What is the maximum speed at which it can swing a 0.477 kg mass in a circle of rad

jekas [21]

Answer:

Maximum velocity will be 17.651 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given a rope breaks when tension reaches 205 N

Mass m = 0.477 kg

Radius of the circle r = 0.725 m

Tension in the rope is given by

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$
