A graph of real speed can have a section that's as steep as you want,
but it can never be a perfectly vertical section.

Any vertical line on a graph, even it it's only a tiny tiny section, means
that at that moment in time, the speed had many different values.

It also means that the speed took no time to change from one value to
another, and THAT would mean infinite acceleration.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a.\thta=71^{\circ}

b.v_f=3.78 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=53 kg

v_1=2.9 m/s

m_2= 72 kg

v_2=6.2 m/s

a.We have to find the angle

\theta=tan^{-1}{\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1v_1}=\frac{72(6.2)}{53(2.9)}=71^{\circ}

\theta=71^{\circ}

b. We have to find the speed v_f

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v_fcos\theta

53(2.9)=(53+72)v_fcos 71^{\circ}=40.7 v_f

v_f=\frac{153.7}{40.7}=3.78 m/s

What is the difference between weight and mass? Give an example of how they are different.
marusya05 [52]
Mass is the amount of matter it has, while weight <span>is a measurement of the force placed on an object by gravity. An example of how they are different is that mass is always constant while weight varies depending on the location.</span>
