The combined momentum is 4000 kg m/s south

Explanation:

The total combined momentum of the two cars is given by the vector addition of the momenta of the two cars.

For this problem, we choose north as positive direction and south as negative direction.

The momentum of the first car travelling north is given by:

p_1 = m_1 v_1

where

m_1 = 1600 kg is the mass of the car

v_1 = +8 m/s is its velocity

Substituting,

p_1 = (1600)(8)=+12800 kg m/s

The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:

p_2 = m_2 v_2

where

m_2 = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

v_2= -12 m/s is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)

Substituting,

p_2 = (1400)(-12)=-16800 kg m/s

And therefore, the combined momentum is

p=p_1 + p_2 = +12800 + (-16800)=-4000 kg m/s

where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is
klio [65]

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

The first law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the law of conservation of Energy. It states that:
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

Where;

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop
liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

Answer:

I think it is better if you read and shortly write my explanation

Explanation:

simple pendulum with no friction, mechanical energy is conserved. Total mechanical energy is a combination of kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum swings back and forth, there is a constant exchange between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
