A car (mass = 1090 kg) is traveling at 30.4 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2880 kg) traveling
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The sport utility vehicle was traveling at V2= 11.5 m/s.

Explanation:

m1= 1090 kg

V1= 30.4 m/s

m2= 2880 kg

V2= ?

m1*V1 = m2*V2

V2= (m1*V1)/m2

V2= 11.5 m/s

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m(\frac{v_{2}  - v_{1} }{t})

⇒     Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, v_{1} is its initialvelocity and v_{2} is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m(v_{2} - v_{1})

From the question, m = 3kg, v_{1} = 0m/s and v_{2} = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

             = 3(20)

             = 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole
cestrela7 [59]
B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~
