The initial velocity is obtained as 2.5 m/s.

<h3>What is the initial speed?</h3>

To obtain the initial speed, we have to apply the law of conservation of linear momentum which states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now, the two fragments initially had one velocity before they were split in two directions opposite each other;

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum to this problem;

(2 + 10)v = (6 * 10) - (2 * 15)  (they moved in opposite directions)

12v =60 - 30

12v = 30

v = 30/12

v = 2.5 m/s

vovangra [49]

The normal force decreases, this is the frictional force. It will be counteracted by the force which accelerates the brick to slide downward opposite to the end where the board is raised. As the angle increases the force acting upon the brick opposite to the normal force will decrease.

A man started at his house and went to the post office, then to the pet store, and finally home again. What is the average veloc
docker41 [41]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Defining velocity :

Velocity is a vector which is the ratio of a person's total displacement with time.

Displacement, in simple terms refers to the distance between an individual's initial position to his final position.

Man's initial position = House

After all his navigation and points covered irrespective of the distance ;

Final position = House

Hence, we can conclude that the man's Displacement is ;

Final position - Initial position = 0

Hence,

Velocity = Displacement / time taken

Velocity = 0 / 3

Velocity = 0
