PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa

ry seal of mass 280 kg. The seal grabs onto the whale and holds fast. What is the momentum of these two sea creatures just after their collision? You can neglect any drag effects of the water during the collision.
A) 0.00 kg • m/s

B) 1680 kg • m/s

C) 2000 kg • m/s

D) 6000 kg • m/s

E) 7200 kg • m/s

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

A 10.0 N package of whole wheat flour is suddenly placed on the pan of a scale such as you find in grocery stores. The pan is su
inna [77]

Answer:

0.025 m

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying Hook's law

F = ke................... Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant of the scale, e = maximum distance at which the spring will compress.

make e the subject of the equation

e = F/k....................... Equation 2

Given: F = 10 N, e = 395 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 2

e = 10/395

e = 0.025 m

A .025 kg bullet is moving at 350 m/s when it hits and then passes through a 7 kg block of wood. After the bullet passes through
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The final velocity of the wooden block is equal to 1.035 m/s

Explanation:

Given that mass of bullet = m_{b} = 0.025kg

                Mass of wood = m_{w} = 7kg

               Initial velocity of bullet = u_{b} = 350m/s

              Final velocity of bullet = v_{b} = 60m/s

               Initial velocity of wood = o

               Final velocity of wood = v_{w]

   Here momentum is conserved so initial momentum = final momentum

            m_{b}u_{b} = m_{b} v_{b} + m_{w}v_{w} .

    Upon substituting these values in above equation , we get

        v_{w} = 1.035m/s.

A girl pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30 n. if there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wag
olga2289 [7]
Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N;

F = ma
30 = 10a

Solving for a:
a = 3 m/s^2

The acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.
