10,000 units of momentum.
p=mv
20,000=m(2v)
10,000=mv
Answer:
a) v = 88.54 m/s
b) vf = 26.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that;
m = 1400.0 kg
a)
by using the energy conservation
loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy
mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²
so
1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²
5488000 = 700v²
v² = 5488000 / 700
v² = 7840
v = √7840
v = 88.54 m/s
b)
Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE
W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)
we substitute
1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf² -0 )
488000 = 700 vf²
vf² = 488000 / 700
vf² = 697.1428
vf = √697.1428
vf = 26.4 m/s
Answer:
b. they get blown in from colder or warmer areas.
