A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

. Another school bus whose empty mass is 1.578 times 10^4 kg is moving south at a speed of 12.2 km/h. Assuming an average passenger mass of 64.8 kg, what is the minimum number of passengers (including the driver) of the southbound bus so that the total momentum of the two buses is directed south?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus towards North v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s

mass of bus travelling in South direction is m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus m_0=64.8 kg

Momentum of North moving bus

P_1=m_1\times v_1

P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22

P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s

Momentum with south moving bus

P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2

P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38

For total momentum to be towards south

P_2-P_1 should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

P_2=P_1

(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4

1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4

n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the cat to land.  Take down to be positive.

Given:

Δy = 0.61 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(0.61 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.81 m/s²) t²

t = 0.353 s

Now find the horizontal velocity needed to travel 1.1 m in that time.

Given:

Δx = 1.1 m

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.353 s

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(1.1 m) = v₀ (0.353 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.353 s)²

v₀ = 3.1 m/s
