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

When the mass of the cylinder increased by a factor of 3, from 1.0 kg to 3.0 kg, what happened to the cylinder’s gravitational p
const2013 [10]

Answer: Fourth option. It increased by a factor of 3.

Solution:

m1=1.0 kg

Cylinder's gravitational potential energy: Ep=m*g*h

Ep1=(1.0 kg)*g*h

Ep1=g*h

m2=3.0 kg

Ep2=(3.0 kg)*g*h

Ep2=3*g*h

Replacing g*h by Ep1 in the equation above:

Ep2=3*Ep1

Then, the cylinder's gravitational potential energy increased by a factor of 3.

TECHNOLOGY A Lamborghini Aventador accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 2.9 s. The mass of the car is 1575 kg Calculate the po
DerKrebs [107]

At 100 km/hr, the car's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (1575 kg) ( [100 km/hr] x [1000 m/km] x [1 hr/3600 sec] )²

KE = (787.5 kg) (27.78 m/s)²

KE = 607,639 Joules

In order to deliver this energy in 2.9 seconds, the engine must supply

(607,639 J / 2.9 sec) = 209,531 watts

<em>Power = 281 HP</em>

the system shown above is released from rest. if friction is negligible, the acceleration of the 4.0 kg block sliding on the tab
JulsSmile [24]

The acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².

The given parameters:

  • <em>Mass of the first block, m₁ = 4.0 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the second block, m₂ = 2.0 kg</em>

The net force on the system of the two blocks is calculated as follows;

m_2 g - T = m_1 a

where;

  • <em>T </em><em>is the tension in the connecting string due weight of the first block</em>

m_2 g - m_1 g = m_1 a\\\\a = \frac{m_2 g - m_1g}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{g(m_2 - m_1)}{m_1} \\\\a = \frac{9.8(2-4)}{2} \\\\a = -9.8 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the first block (4 kg) is -9.8 m/s².
