A perfectly elastic collision occurs between a 15.0-kg mass traveling at 3.50 m/s and a 9.00-kg mass traveling at 2.35 m/s. if t

he final velocity of the 9.00-kg mass is 2.80 m/s, what is the final velocity of the 15.0-kg mass?

Momentum is conserved in a collision. Momentum is mass*velocity, so you can find your answer by calculating initial and final momentums and setting them equal to each other.

15kg * 3.50 m/s + 9kg * 2.35 m/s = 73.65 kg m/s

73.65 = 9 * 2.8 + 15x

solve for x
x= 3.23

The final velocity is 3.23 m/s

If a force is 100 N and is pointing 37 degrees north of east. (a) Draw a diagram of this force. (b) Draw the force's x and y com
sasho [114]

Answer

given,

force = 100 N

Point 37 degrees north of east

a) and b) part is shown in the diagram attached below.

c) to find the x and y component of the force

x- component of the force

F_x = F cos \theta

F_x = 100\times cos 37^0

F_x = 79.86 N

y- component of the force

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 100\times sin 37^0

F_y = 60.18 N

A child on a swing sweeps out a distance of 45 ft on the first pass. If she is allowed to continue swinging until she​ stops, an
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

Here in each swing the distance sweeps by the swing is half of the initial distance that it will move

So here we can say that total distance in whole motion is  given as

d = 45 + \frac{45}{2} + \frac{45}{4} + \frac{45}{8}..........

since it is half of the distance that it will move in each swing so it would be a geometric progression with common ratio of 1/2

so sum of such GP is given by the formula

S = \frac{a}{1 - r}

d = \frac{45}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}

d = 90 ft

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
poizon [28]
Let us first know the given: Tennis ball has a mass of 0.003 kg, Soccer ball has a mass of 0.43 kg. Having the same velocity at 16 m/s. First the equation for momentum is P=MV P=Momentum M=Mass V=Velocity. Now let us have the solution for the momentum of tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ) I use the subscript "t" for tennis.  Momentum of Soccer ball Ps= 0.43 x 13m/s = (      km-m/s). If we going to compare the momentum of both balls, the heavier object will surely have a greater momentum because it has a larger mass, unless otherwise  the tennis ball with a lesser mass will have a greater velocity to be equal or greater than the momentum of a soccer ball.
