Answer:
v1 = 15.90 m/s
v2 = 8.46 m/s
mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J
mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
Explanation:
given data
mass m = 0.2 kg
speed = 18 m/s
angle = 28°
to find out
final velocity and mechanical energy both before and after the collision
solution
we know that conservation of momentum remain same so in x direction
mv = mv1 cosθ + mv2cosθ
put here value
0.2(18) = 0.2 v1 cos(28) + 0.2 v2 cos(90-28)
3.6 = 0.1765 V1 + 0.09389 v2 ................1
and
in y axis
mv = mv1 sinθ - mv2sinθ
0 = 0.2 v1 sin28 - 0.2 v2 sin(90-28)
0 = 0.09389 v1 - 0.1768 v2 .......................2
from equation 1 and 2
v1 = 15.90 m/s
v2 = 8.46 m/s
so
mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 mv1² + 1/2 mv2²
mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 (0.2)(18)² + 0
mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J
and
mechanical energy after collision = 1/2 (0.2)(15.90)² + 1/2 (0.2)(8.46)²
mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
Answer:
b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.
Explanation:
Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.
Since we're talking about the same car, the value of 
will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.
After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
Answer:
A reference frame is that frame to which the qualities of an object are related:
For instance - an object may described by - mass, speed, acceleration, size, etc,
It is important to remember that Newton's Laws of motion do not hold in accelerated reference frames -
Einstein's laws of special relativity are only true in frames that move with contant speed to one another
