Answer:

magnitude=34.45 m

direction=55.52\°

Explanation:

Assuming the initial point P1 of this vector is at the origin:

P1=(X1,Y1)=(0,0)

And knowing the other point is P2=(X2,Y2)=(19.5,28.4)

We can find the magnitude and direction of this vector, taking into account a vector has a initial and a final point, with an x-component and a y-component.

For the magnitude we will use the formula to calculate the distance d between two points:

d=\sqrt{{(Y2-Y1)}^{2} +{(X2-X1)}^{2}} (1)

d=\sqrt{{(28.4 m - 0 m)}^{2} +{(19.5 m - 0m)}^{2}} (2)

d=\sqrt{1186.81 m^{2}} (3)

d=34.45 m (4) This is the magnitude of the vector

For the direction, which is the measure of the angle the vector makes with a horizontal line, we will use the following formula:

tan \theta=\frac{Y2-Y1}{X2-X1}  (5)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8 m - 0m}{19.5 m - 0m}  (6)

tan \theta=\frac{24.8}{19.5}  (7)

Finding \theta:

\theta= tan^{-1}(\frac{24.8}{19.5})  (8)

\theta= 55.52\°  (9) This is the direction of the vector

1) The mass of the continent is 3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 624 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 4 m/s

Explanation:

1)

We start by finding the volume of the continent. We have:

L = 5850 km = 5.85\cdot 10^6 m is the side

t = 35 km = 3.5\cdot 10^4 m is the depth

So the volume is

V=L^2 t = (5.85\cdot 10^6)^2 (3.5\cdot 10^4)=1.20\cdot 10^{18} m^3

We also know that its density is

d=2750 kg/m^3

Therefore, we can find the mass by multiplying volume by density:

m=dV=(2750)(1.20\cdot 10^{18})=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg

2)

The kinetic energy of the continent is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg is its mass

v = 3.2 cm/year is the speed

We have to convert the speed into m/s. We have:

3.2 cm = 0.032 m

1 year = 1(365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s

So, the speed is:

v=\frac{0.032 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=1.02\cdot 10^{-9} m/s

So, we can now find the kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}(1.20\cdot 10^{21})(1.02\cdot 10^{-9})^2=624 J

3)

Here we have a jogger of mass

m = 78 kg

And the jogger has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 624 J

The kinetic energy of the jogger is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the jogger.

Solving for v, we find the speed that the jogger must have:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(624)}{78}}=4 m/s

Two balls of mass m1 and m2, with velocities v1 and v2 collide head on. Is there any way for both balls to have zero velocity af
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the final Kinetic energy is zero or less than initial kinetic energy, the collision must be inelastic.  

In Inelastic collision both the bodies must stick together as final velocity is zero for both the bodies.

To conserve the momentum, momentum associated before the collision of first must be equal and opposite to the momentum associated with the second ball.

i.e.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2
