A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing
aalyn [17]

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar M=1.2\times10^3\ kg

velocity of racecar u=8\ m/s

mass of still honeybadger m=80\ kg

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of v_1=2\ m/s

conserving linear momentum

Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]

1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2

1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Gravity acts to pull the object down.

The object’s inertia carries it forward.

The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement  "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.

- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco
Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}

<u>ac = 72 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)

<u>Fc = 504 N</u>
