Answer:

Assuming rightward is positive, the velocity is positive whenever the car is moving to the right, and the velocity is negative whenever the car is moving to the left. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

$MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875$

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

po = pf

-mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same

A 2.0-kg object moving with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 3.0-kg object moving with

Andrej [43]

Answer:

5.4 J.

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object, m = 2 Kg

initial speed, u = 5 m/s

mass of another object,m' = 3 kg

initial speed of another orbit,u' = 2 m/s

KE lost after collusion = ?

Final velocity of the system

Using conservation of momentum

m u + m'u' = (m + m') V

2 x 5 + 3 x 2 = ( 2 + 3 )V

16 = 5 V

V = 3.2 m/s

Initial KE = $\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m'u'^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 2^2$

= 31 J

Final KE = $\dfrac{1}{2} (m+m')V^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5 \times 3.2^2 = 25.6 J$

Loss in KE = 31 J - 25.6 J = 5.4 J.
