Answer:
8.3m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
mass of clay ball = 5kg
Speed of clay ball = 25m/s
mass of clay ball at rest = 10kg
speed of clay ball at rest = 0m/s
Unknown:
Velocity after collision = ?
Solution:
Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:
m1v1 + m2v2 = v(m1 + m2)
5(25) + 10(0) = v (5 + 10)
125 = 15v
v = 8.3m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
Use the one-dimensional equation:
which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:
-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and
-14.5 = -9.8t so
t = 1.5 seconds
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of a car, u = 12 m/s
Aceleration, a = -1.6 m/s²
(a) The displacement of car after 6 seconds is :
(b) The displacement of the car after 9 seconds is :
Hence, this is the required solution.
The scientists should best deal with this measurement by stating that there was an error during measuring and collect further data.
