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.

Which characteristic is common to all permanent magnets?
yanalaym [24]

I can't eliminate answers. Some of them are just wrong.  A is incorrect. There is no such thing as a 1 pole magnet.

I wouldn't use B. If it is just a bar it is not a magnet.

C is the traditional answer

D is a space filler. It is just there to occupy a letter.

The Graph above shows the speed of a car traveling in a straight line as a function of time. The car accelerates uniformly and r
devlian [24]

Answer:

Where is the graph??

If a car travels from zero to 4 m/s ins 8 sec

a = 4 / 8 = .5 m/s^2

V (2) = 2 * .5 = 1 m/s after 2 sec

S = V t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 1 * 3.9 + 1/2 * 1/2 *3.9^2 = 3.9 + 3.80 = 7.70 m   from 2 to 5.9  sec

Check:

Total distance traveled = 1/2 a t^2 = 5.9^2 / 4 = 8.70 m

Distance traveled in 2 sec = 1/2 * 1/2 * 4 = 1 m

Total distance from 2 to 5.9 = 8.7 - 1 = 7.7 m agreeing with thw above
