A 2 kg ball travellng to the right with a speed of 4 m/s collidees with a 5 kg ball traveling to the left with a speed of 3 m/s.

Take right to be the positive direction. What is the total momentum of the two balls before they collide? What is the total momentum of the two balls after they collide?

5 0

Explanation:

Momentum before collision:

(2 kg) (4 m/s) + (5 kg) (-3 m/s) = -3 kg m/s

No external forces act on the balls, so momentum is conserved.  Therefore, momentum after collision is also -3 kg m/s.

An object is 39 cm away from a concave mirrors surface along the principles axis. If the mirrors focal length is 9.50 cm, how fa
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

12.6 cm

Explanation:

We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where here we have

f = 9.50 cm is the focal length

p = 39 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror

Solving the equation for q, we find:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{9.50 cm}-\frac{1}{39 cm}=0.080 cm^{-1}\\q = \frac{1}{0.080 cm}=12.6 cm

Jennifer, who has a mass of 50.0 kg, is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to av
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Average force = 3.5 kN

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Jennifer (m) = 50 kg

Initial velocity = 35 m/s

Time taken to stop body = 0.5 s

Find:

Average force

Computation:

v = u + at

0 = 35 + a(0.5)

Acceleration (a) =  - 70 m/s² = 70 m/s²

Average force = ma

Average force = (50(70)

Average force = 3500 N

Average force = 3.5 kN

At 9:00 on Saturday morning, two bicyclists heading in opposite directions pass each other on a bicycle path.The bicyclist headi
notka56 [123]
Between 9:00 am and 10:45 am, there have been 1 hour and 45 minutes or 1.75 hours have passed. Let x be the speed of the slower cyclist and x+ 5 be the rate of the second cyclist. The given situation is best represented through the equation below,
                                 x(1.75) + (x + 5)(1.75) = 47.25 km
The value of x from the equation is 11. Thus, the two bicyclists' rates are 11 km/h and 16 km/h.
