Answer:
6.25 m/s
Explanation:
mass of man (m1) = 80 kg
mass of boy (m2) = 20 kg
mass of man and boy after collision (m12)= 20 + 80 = 100 kg
velocity of man and boy after collision (v) = 2.5 m/s
angle θ = 60 °
How fast was the boy moving just before the collision ?
- From the diagram attached, the first image shows the man and the boys motion while the second diagram shows their motion rearranged to form a triangle. With the momentum of the man and the boy forming the sides of the triangle.
- M₁₂ = total momentum after collision = m12 x v = 100 x 2.5 = 250
- Mboy = momentum of the boy before collision = m2 x Velocity of boy
- Mman = momentum of the man before collision = m1 x velocity of man
- from the triangle, cos θ =
cos 60 =
Mboy = 250 x cos 60 = 125
- recall that momentum of the boy (Mboy) also = m2 x Velocity of boy
therefore
125 = 20 x velocity of boy
velocity of boy = 125 / 20 = 6.25 m/s
Explanation:
Acceleration and the other term are the same physical phenomenon - just with opposite affects. Acceleration increases velocity, while the other term that begins with the letter "R" reduces.
***(Brainly's language filter is blocking the use of the second term in my answer.)***
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object per unit of time...
Acceleration would be a POSITIVE (+) quantity, while the r-word would be negative (-).
