Answer:
This is an inelastic collision. This means, unfortunately, that KE cannot save you, at least in the problem's current form.
Let's see what conservation of momentum in both directions does ya:
Conservation in the x direction:
Only 1 object here has a momentum in the x direction initally.
m1v1i + 0 = (m1 + m2)(vx)
3.09(5.10) = (3.09 + 2.52)Vx
Vx = 2.81 m/s
Explanation:
Conservation in the y direction:
Again, only 1 object here has initial velocity in the y:
0 + m2v2i = (m1 +m2)Vy
(2.52)(-3.36) = (2.52 + 3.09)Vy
Vy = -1.51 m/s
++++++++++++++++++++
Now that you have Vx and Vy of the composite object, you can find the final velocity by doing Vf = √Vx^2 + Vy^2)
Vf = √(2.81)^2 + (-1.51)^2
Vf = 3.19 m/s
Answer:
speed up
Explanation:
it's sound, not electromagnetic
After it's long use, the bridge continuously undergoes through alternating strains. in result, the elastic strength of the bridge gets reduced. while the process goes on the bridge makes elastic fatigue and a permanent change happens which makes it collapse which is the reason why bridges are declared unsafe after a long use :)
