Answer:

the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

Explanation:

As we know that initially the bullet is inside the gun with stationary condition

So here we can say that gun and bullet was both at rest initially

so we have

P = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

since both are at rest so we have

v_1 = v_2 = 0

so total momentum of the system will be

P = 0

So the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

The momentum before is zero because nothing is moving. Note that because momentum is a conserved vector, the total momentum after the shot is also zero. You just have to add the products of mass and velocity in opposite directions. So the answer is zero

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

A 2800 kg truck moving at 12 m/s to the right hits a stopped 1100 kg car. What is the combined velocity the moment they stick to
leva [86]

Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

The competitive exclusion principle states that _______.
nikdorinn [45]
<span>The competitive exclusion principle states that when two organisms attempt to fill the same niche, one will exclude the other from the ecosystem. Research partitioning is an adaptive evolution that when species are have similar preys, they compete with each other and one species is deemed to extinct in the process however if two species are of different preys, then they can exist with one another. To exist with one another, organisms belonging to a same species either compete for the resources or divide it amongst themselves. This concept is important because it helps in diversified ecology, where animals and plants of the same species co-exist and creates a beauty with nature.</span>
