Two objects, X and Y, move toward one another and eventually collide. Object X has a mass of 2M and is moving at a speed of 2vo

Nady [450]

Answer:

The force exerted by X on Y is F to the right, and the force exerted by Yon X is F to the left.

Explanation:

There are two objects X and Y. Mass of object X is 2M, that is moving with a speed of $2v_o$ and that of object Y is M that is moving with a speed of $v_o$ .

When both of the objects collide, the magnitude of the forces F the objects exert on each other is equal to :

The force exerted by X on Y is F to the right, and the force exerted by Yon X is F to the left using Newton's third law of motion. Hence, the correct option is (c).

A student sets up an experiment to determine the inertial mass of a cart. The student has access to the following measurement eq

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answers are a and d

Explanation:

In this experiment it can be analyzed using Newton's second law

F = m a

m = F / m

The outside is supplied by the spring balance and is constant, therefore the acceleration of the system is also constant.

The acceleration can be found with the kinematic equations

x = v t + ½ a t²

As we start from rest the initial speed is zero

a = 2 x / t²

Therefore we need the reading of position and time.

Finally, the relationship between the balance reading and this acceleration of the mass of the system

Let's analyze the answers

a) True. It is one of the necessary quantities

b) False. With the equipment we cannot measure the speed directly

c) false. Acceleration is calculated

d) true. It is the other magnitude necessary for the calculation.

The correct answers are a and d

A boy throws a ball straight up into the air. It reaches the highest point of its flight after 4 seconds.

Zanzabum

Answer:Take into account the the Earths gravity is 9.8 meters a second

Explanation:

Gravity pulls down on the ball at g=-9.81 m/s^2. Up is positive, down is negative.The ball started at a certain initial velocity of Vi m/s. Time it took is t=4s. Final velocity is Vf=0 m/s, because at the highest point the ball stops moving.

Vf=(g*t)+Vi

Rearrange for Vi.

Vi=Vf-(g*t)

Vi=0-(-9.81*4)=39.24 m/s (upward)

Think about it this way for the non-mathematical approach. The ball stops at the top. The initial velocity gets reduced by 9.81 m/s every second, and reaches 0 m/s at the top. It took 4 seconds, so 9.81*4 is equal to the initial upward velocity.
