The answer is true. Gravity is the force that keeps us all on the ground.
Answer: 20 kgm/s
Explanation:
Given that M1 = M2 = 10kg
V1 = 5 m/s , V2 = 3 m/s
Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction of the two object will be taken into consideration.
The magnitude of their combined
momentum before the crash will be:
M1V1 - M2V2
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
10 × 5 - 10 × 3
50 - 30
20 kgm/s
Therefore, the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash will be 20 kgm/s
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.
Let:
b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°
We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.
Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.
In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the net external force acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its mass. In equation form, Newton's second law of motion is a=Fnetm a = F net m .
