Answer:

a) v=1.81 m/s; B) v=4.95 m/s

Explanation:

using momentum conservation

m1v1+m2v1=m1v2+m2v2

A)

5.2*672+700*0=5.2*428+700v2

The initial velocity of the block is 0, solving for v2

v2=1.81 m/s

B) Now both the bullet and the block travel together

m1v1+m2v1=(m1+m2)v2

5.2*672+700*0=(5.2+700)v

v=4.95 m/s

1. Which mathematical representation correctly identifies impulse?
horsena [70]

Answer:

1. B. Impulse = Force × Time

2. A. The momentum of each ball changes, and the total momentum stays the same

3. -55 kg·m/s

4. B. 3.5 kg

5. C. 6.3 m/s

Explanation:

1. The impulse is the momentum change of an object due to a force applied for a given period

2. Given that the objects collide, and the force of the 3 kg mass moving with 24 kg·m/s acts on the 1 kg mass while the total momentum is conserved;

The stationary ball of mass 1 kg begins to moves at certain velocity after collision and therefore changes momentum, while the velocity of the ball of mass 3.0 kg reduces and the total combined momentum of the two balls in the closed system remains the same

3. By the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

The sum of the momentum before the collision = The sum of the momentum after collision

Given that the objects move together after the collision, the total momentum is therefore;

Total momentum = 110 kg·m/s + -65 kg·m/s + -100 kg·m/s = 110 kg·m/s - 65 kg·m/s - 100 kg·m/s  = -55kg·m/s

4. Given that the final velocity of the two objects (m₁ + m₂) combined = 50 m/s

Where;

m₁ = The mass of the first object

m₂ = The mass of the second object

The total momentum of the system = 250 kg·m/s

From momentum = Mass × Velocity, we have;

Mass = Momentum/Velocity = 250 kg·m/s/(50 m/s) = 5.0 kg

The mass (m₁ + m₂) = 5.0 kg

Given that m₁ = 1.5 kg, we have;

m₂ = 5.0 kg - m₁ = 5.0 kg - 1.5 kg = 3.5 kg

The mass of the second object = 3.5 kg

5. The mass of the cue stick = 0.5 kg

The velocity of the cue stick = 2.5 m/s

The mass of the ball = 0.2 kg

The initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

Given that total initial momentum = Total final momentum, we have;

0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s + 0.2 kg × 0 = 0.2 kg × v + 0.5 kg × 0

0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s = 0.2 kg × v

v = (0.5 kg × 2.5 m/s)/(0.2 kg) = 6.25  m/s ≈ 6.3 m/s

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.
