According to the given statement Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

<h3>What is collision and momentum?</h3>

The unit of momentum is kg ms -1. Momentum is a vector parameter that is influenced by the object's direction. During collisions involving objects, momentum is a relevant concept. The final velocity before a collision between two objects equals the total motion after the impact (in the absence of external forces).

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

m u +M U =(m+M) V

2000×25 i^ +1500×30 j^​ =(2000+1500) V

V = 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

Final velocity when they stick together is 8.735i^ + 11.25j^​

The complete question is -

A 2000 kg truck is moving eastward at 25 m/s. it collides inelastically with a 1500 kg truck traveling southward at 30 m/s. they collide at the intersection. Find the direction and magnitude of velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming the vehicles stick together after the collision.

A 0.500-kg object connected to a light spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface
givi [52]

Answer:

a = 0.009 J

b = 0.19 m/s

c = 0.005 J and 0.004 J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the object, m = 0.5 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 20 N/m

Amplitude of the motion, A = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Displacement of the system, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

a

Total energy of the system, E =

E = 1/2 * k * A²

E = 1/2 * 20 * 0.03²

E = 10 * 0.0009

E = 0.009 J

b

E = 1/2 * k * A² = 1/2 * m * v(max)²

1/2 * m * v(max)² = 0.009

1/2 * 0.5 * v(max)² = 0.009

v(max)² = 0.009 * 2/0.5

v(max)² = 0.018 / 0.5

v(max)² = 0.036

v(max) = √0.036

v(max) = 0.19 m/s

c

V = ±√[(k/m) * (A² - x²)]

V = ±√[(20/0.5) * (0.03² - 0.02²)]

V = ±√(40 * 0.0005)

V = ±√0.02

V = ±0.141 m/s

Kinetic Energy, K = 1/2 * m * v²

K = 1/2 * 0.5 * 0.141²

K = 1/4 * 0.02

K = 0.005 J

Potential Energy, P = 1/2 * k * x²

P = 1/2 * 20 * 0.02²

P = 10 * 0.0004

P = 0.004 J

A 6 kilogram block in outer space is moving at -100 m/s (to the left). It suddenly experiences three forces as shown below (in t
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = 1474.9 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

We must understand that when forces are applied on the body, they tend to slow the body down to stop it.

So as the body continues to move to the left, it is slowing down. Therefore we must calculate this deceleration value using Newton's second law. We must perform a sum of forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration. With leftward movement as negative and rightward forces as positive.

ΣF = m*a

10 +12*sin(60)= - 6*a\\a = - 3.39[m/s^{2}]

Now using the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the distance of the block, before stopping completely. The initial speed must be 100 [m/s].

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (the block stops)

Vo = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = - 3.39 [m/s²]

x = displacement [m]

0 = 100^{2}-2*3.39*x\\x=\frac{10000}{2*3.39}\\x=1474.9[m]

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.
