Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.
Answer:
A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s
B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
Explanation:
Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.
We are given;
d1 = 10 km = 10000 m
d2 = 10 km = 10000 m
Speed; v1 = 15 m/s
Speed; v2 = 25 m/s
Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time
Thus:
d1 = v1 x t1
t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds
Also,
d2 = v2 x t2
t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds
Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s
From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;
More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
No. Mechanical energy is not conserved. There's quite a bit of friction on the slide. So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
Answer:
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Explanation:
Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.
Momentum A = 16 kgm/s
Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).
Total momentum = A + B
Total momentum = 16 + 0
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
