Answer:
The child's mass is 14.133 kg
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;
(m₁ + m₂) × v₁ + m₃ × v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) × v₃ - m₃ × v₄
We include the negative sign as the velocities were given as moving in the opposite directions
Since the child and the ball are at rest, we have;
v₁ = 0 m/s and v₂= 0 m/s
Hence;
0 = m₁ × v₃ - m₂ × v₄
(m₁ + m₂)× v₃ = m₃ × v₄
Where:
m₁ = Mass of the child
m₂ = Mass of the scooter = 2.4 kg
v₃ = Final velocity of the child and scooter = 0.45 m/s
m₃ = Mass of the ball = 2.4 kg
v₄ = Final velocity of the ball = 3.1 m/s
Plugging the values gives;
(m₁ + 2.4)× 0.45 = 2.4 × 3.1
(m₁ + 2.4) = 16.533
∴ m₁ + 2.4 = 16.533
m₁ = 16.533 - 2.4 = 14.133 kg
The child's mass = 14.133 kg.
Hi there!
I. They are the same.
Due to the Conservation of Momentum, an explosion as such means that the TOTAL momentum of the system (all of the pieces) is conserved.
Its the fridge. most fridges actually come with an extra compartment called the freezer usually above the fridge.
Anything that's dropped on or near the Earth accelerates at the rate of
9.8 m/s² on its way down. The mass of the object makes no difference.
After falling for 2 seconds, it's falling at the rate of 19.6 m/s.
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
The egg's momentum is (5.07 kg) x (19.6 m/s) = 99.4 kg-m/s .
Red light would be commonly used due to the longer wavelength
