Answer:

Velocity of Object with 2 kg= 3.390 m/s

Velocity of Object with 3 kg= 3.404 m/s

Explanation:

From the picture, it can be seen that object B is initially at rest while object A is travelling at a speed of 5m/s. After the collision, Object A moves at an angle of 65 degrees while object B moves at an angle of 37 degrees.

We also know that momentum of a closed system is conserved.

Initial momentum along the x-axis = 2*5.5 = 11

Initial momentum along y-axis = 0

Final momentum along x-axis= a*Cos(65)*2 +b*Cos(37) *3= 11 (a is the velocity of object A of 2 kg after collision where as b is the velocity of object B of 3 kg after collision. velocity is multiplied by cosines of the angle from x axis to give the horizontal component of the velocities).

Final momentum along y-axis = a*Sin(65)*2 - b*Sin(37)*3 =0 (We can see that vertical components of velocity are opposite in direction to each other)

Solve both the equations simultaneously for a and b.

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc
mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>

One cereal bar has a mass of 37 g. What is the mass of 6 cereal bars? Is that more than or less than 1 kg? Explain your answer.
GuDViN [60]

The mass is 222g.  No, it is less than 1kg.  There are 1000 grams in a kilogram so it would be 0.222kg.  Hope this Helps :D

In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?
taurus [48]

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show  both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows  because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.
