A 61,000-kg Rocky Mountain Double big rig is traveling at 0.5 m/s.

Physics

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

41.78 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum the defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object hence expressed as p=mv where p represent momentum, m is mass while v is velocity.

The law of conseevation of linear momentum states that the sum of the initial and final momentum should be equal. Therefore, in this case, MV=mu where M and m represent mass of 61, 000 kg and 730 respectively while v and u are their respective velocities.

Making u the subject then

u=\frac {MV}{m}

Substituting 0.5 m/s for V, 61000 kg for M and 730 kg for m then the velocity will be

u=\frac {61000\times 0.5}{730}=41.780821917808 m/s\\u\approx 41.78 m/s

What does KE mean? *100 pts*
Alchen [17]

Answer:

it simply means KINETIC ENERGY

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

That’s true. You don’t need direction if you are only interested in speed

On a hot summer day, a young girl swings on a rope above the local swimming hole. When she lets go of the rope her initial veloc
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

5.52 m

Explanation:

Using the equation;

Vy = Vo sin θ

    Where; Vo = 2.25 m/s and θ = 35°

We get;

       = 2.25 sin 35°

        = 1.29 m/s

Thus; Vy = 1.29 m/s

But a = -9.81 m/s (against gravity)

      t = 1.20 s and

y = Vyt + 1/2 at²

   where y is the height above the water

  = 1.29 × 1.2 + (1/2 × -9.81 × 1.2²)

  = 1.548 + (-7.0632)

   = - 5.5152 m

   Thus; the height of the girl above the water is 5.52 m

A meterstick is initially standing vertically on the floor. If the meterstick falls over, with what angular velocity will it hit
notsponge [240]

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

h = height of center of mass of stick from bottom end on the floor = L/2 = 1/2 = 0.5 m

m = mass of the meter stick

I = moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end

w = angular velocity as it hits the floor

moment of inertia of the meter stick about the bottom end is given as

I = m L²/3

using conservation of energy

rotational kinetic energy of meter stick as it hits the floor = potential energy when it is vertical

(0.5) I w² = m g h

(0.5) (m L²/3) w² = m g h

( L²) w² =  6g h

( 1²) w² =  6 (9.8) (0.5)

w = 5.4 rad/s
