The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum
is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final
momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:
mA vA + mB vB = m v
where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s
since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the
equation as:
mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v
furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0,
hence
mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v
1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)
<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>
Answer:
Less than 1 m
Explanation:
When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.
In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.
In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.
Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.
You are correct...amplitude will be the answer
