Answer
given.
Mass of big fish = 15 Kg
speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s
mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg
speed of the fish after eating small fish =?
a) using conservation of momentum
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V
15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V
16.5 = 19.5 V
V = 0.846 m/s
b) Kinetic energy before collision


KE₁ = 9.075 J
Kinetic energy after collision

KE₂ = 6.98 J
Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J
hence,
mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J
Answer:
40N
Explanation:
Since both weights are connected to one string, you can say that the tensions above each are equal to each other.
If you do the sum of forces for the 4kg mass, then the tension comes out to 40N (if we take gravity to be 10m/s²). But that seemed too good to be true, so I decided to do the work for the 7kg mass as well [which included finding the normal force (N) and plugging it into the sum of forces for the 7kg mass] to find that it also gives 40N as the answer.
If I were to put my process into steps:
- Write out the sum of Forces for both masses
- Set them equal to each other to find normal force (because this is the only unknown)
- Calculate and compare the two tensions to see if they are equal
*This all seems to line up perfectly, but do let me know if my answer doesn't match up with what you might find to he the answer later on.
The speed of the runner is 300 m /38 seconds. You can simplify this answer to be about 7.9 m/s
Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its B. Motion
less mass is more mass but less energy in more mass. less mass has more energy
