In a collision, a 15 kg object moving with a velocity of 3 m/s transfers some of its momentum to a 5 kg object. What would be th

e velocity of the 5 kg object after the collision if the 15 kg object is still moving at 1 m/s?

The key to solve this problem is the conservation of momentum. The momentum of an object is defined as the product between the mass and the velocity, and it's usually labelled with the letter p:

p=mv

The total momentum is the sum of the momentums. The initial situation is the following:

m_A=15,\quad v_A=3,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=0

(it's not written explicitly, but I assume that the 5-kg object is still at the beginning).

So, at the beginning, the total momentum is

p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 3+5\cdot 0=45

At the end, we have

m_A=15,\quad v_A=1,\quad m_B=5,\quad v_B=x

(the mass obviously don't change, the new velocity of the 15-kg object is 1, and the velocity of the 5-kg object is unkown)

After the impact, the total momentum is

p=m_Av_A+m_Bv_B=15\cdot 1+5\cdot x=15+5x

Since the momentum is preserved, the initial and final momentum must be the same. Set an equation between the initial and final momentum and solve it for x, and you'll have the final velocity of the 5-kg object.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

When you calculate the SLOPE of a line segment, what does the SLOPE represent? (Choose all that apply) the Distance traveled the Displacement the Velocity the Acceleration None of the above

The slope of any time graph can not give you distance or displacement except for position - time graph.

When you plot either distance or displacement against time, that is, distance time graph or displacement time graph, you can get speed or velocity as the slope of the line segment.

You can only acceleration as a slope in a line of best fit if velocity is plotted against time. That is, in a velocity time graph.

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Is a Series Circuit

Explanation:

The circuit shown in the image is a series circuit, is considered as a closed circuit meaning that only has one path for the current to flow with all light bulbs in a row, the voltage applied to the circuit is equal to each voltage drop in the light bulb, if any light bulbs blow out, the current will not flow because the circuit is broken and the remaining light bulb would turn off.
