Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?

Physics

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²

Car A has a mass of 1,200 kg and is traveling at a rate of 22 km/hr. It collides with car B. Car B has a mass of 1,900 kg and is
anastassius [24]

The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car  A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as  m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

The momentum before collision is-

                                                  p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of  linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

                                                        p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e      

                              p_{i} =p_{f}

                               m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}

Hence the option A  is right.

David lifts a book 1.2 meters from the floor to the top of his desk. If the book weighed 0.50 kg, what is the gravitational pote
Anika [276]

Answer:

5.886 J

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the book is, m=0.5 kg

Height of lift is, \Delta h=1.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.81 m/s²

Now, gain in gravitational potential energy is a function of change in position and is given as:

\Delta PE=mg\Delta h

Here, \Delta PE is the change in gravitational potential energy.

Plug in 0.5 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 1.2 for \Delta h. Solve for \Delta PE

\Delta PE=0.50\times 9.81\times 1.2=5.886\ J

Therefore, the gain in gravitational energy of the book is 5.886 J.
