When you see a traffic light turn red, you apply the brakes until you come to a stop. if your initial speed was 14 m/s, and you

were heading due north, what was your average velocity during braking?

Average v = (initial v + final v)/2
= (14 m/s + 0 m/s)/2
= 7 m/s

Your average velocity during braking is 7 m/s

A 10-KG cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5 KG cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principal explains the result

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: energy transfer. or, kinetic energy.

Explanation:

when something collides with another, it transfers kinetic energy to the other it collided with, making it move.

Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball

pogonyaev

1. The signs of the velocities of the balls were changed, this is a result of the elastic collision between the two balls. The law involved in here is the Law of Interaction.
2. During the elastic collision, the momentum is conserved.
3. The velocity would be lower. There is a tendency for these balls to stick together.

Total distance = 15 kilometers and total displacement = 110 kilometers----- 60 kilometers - 45 kilometers = 15 kilometers 60 + 45 kilometers = 110 kilometers :)))))

Help and explain please

babunello [35]

Answer: a) Moment = 200N.m

b) F = 500N

Explanation: <u>Moment</u> or <u>Torque</u> is the tendency of a body to rotate because of an aplplied force. It can be calculated as

$\tau = F.r.sin\theta$

F is force applied

r is distance from the force to the point of rotation

θ is the angle formed between force and distance

a) Since F and r are perpendicular, θ=90°, sin90° = 1, so

$\tau=F.r$

$\tau=100(2)$

$\tau=$ 200

<u>Torque</u><u> caused by weight of the barrier at the pivot is </u><u>200N.m</u>

<u />

b) Counterweight has the same torque as pivot: $\tau=$ 200

So, to find Force necessary to balance the weight:

$\tau=F.r$

$F=\frac{\tau}{r}$

$F=\frac{200}{0.4}$

F = 500

<u>It is necessary </u><u>a force of 500N</u><u> from the counterweight to balance the weight.</u>
