What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 124m in 26s

1 answer:

5 0

It's average speed during that 26 seconds was about 4.77 m/s. Without seeing the graph, we can't tell if it was going faster or slower at any particular time during that period. All we can tell is its average for the full interval.

Answer:

If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

Answer:

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Guys No one's answering my question so sad! Once again I'm asking the same question –Here

For the front glass of the car to get wet, $V_c \geq 10 \ m/s$ .

The given parameters:

Speed of the car, = Vc
Speed of the rain, = 10 m/s

The relative velocity of the car with respect to the falling rain is calculated as;

$V_{C/R} = V_C- V_R$

If the speed of the car equals the speed of the rain, the rain will fall behind the car.
If the speed of the rain is greater than speed of the car, the rain will fall far in front of the car.
If the speed of the car is greater than speed of the rain, the rain will fall on the car.
