Which has a greater momentum? A 1200kg car traveling at 30m/s or a 2000kg truck traveling at 20m/s

Physics
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
7 0

the formula for momentum is velocity times mass

car :

1200 x 30 = 36000

truck:

2000 x 20 = 40000

Ans : truck has a greater momentum

A 1400 kg aircraft going 40 m/s collides with a 1500 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and
Leni [432]

Answer:

67.6 m

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to analyze the motion of the two planes after the collision.

The two planes stick together and move with a velocity of

u = 19.3 m/s

The problem tells us that they skid until they stop: so, their final velocity is

v = 0

Since the velocity is not constant, this means that they are accelerating.

We also know that they skid for a time of

t = 7 s

Therefore, we can find their stopping distance using the following suvat equation

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

And substituting, we find

s=(\frac{0+19.3}{2})(7)=67.6 m

A Ferris wheel with a 15-m radius makes three complete revolutions in one minute about its horizontal axis. What is the magnitud
Kay [80]

Answer:

1.48 m/s^2, upward

Explanation:

The passenger on the wheel experiences a centripetal acceleration, which is the one that keeps him in a circular motion.

The direction of this acceleration is always towards the centre of the circular trajectory: so when the passenger is at the lowest point of the ride, the acceleration is upward.

Concerning the magnitude, it is given by

a=\omega^2 r

where

\omega is the angular velocity

r = 15 m is the radius

We need to find the angular velocity; we know that the wheel completes 3 revolutions in one minute. Each revolution corresponds to an angle of 2\pi rad, so the total angular displacement is

\theta = 3 \cdot 2\pi = 6\pi rad

And the time is

t = 1 min = 60 s

So the angular velocity is

\omega = \frac{6\pi}{60 s}=0.314 rad/s

And substituting into the equation of the acceleration,

a=(0.314)^2(15)=1.48 m/s^2
