Answer: the velocity of a falling object.

As the object is falling down it is experiencing a velocity that is continuously reducing each second and becomes 0 once it reaches the ground. The graph between velocity and time in this case would be a negative slope.

Thus for a object falling down the velocity considered would be negative owing to the reducing speed.

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of first car = 120 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of second car

$u_1$ = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

$v_1$ = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

$v_2$ = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}$

Applying in the next equation

$v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s$

$m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg$

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

How do you convert seconds to minutes, seconds to hours , minutes to seconds and hours to seconds

Bess [88]

Answer:

You could memorize conversions, or use conversion charts, or do a quick internet search for help.

Explanation:

I'll do a few of the conversions for you

Seconds to minutes:

there are 60 seconds in one minute. So if you are wondering how many seconds are in 3 and 1/2 minutes, you would do this conversion:

60 sec/min times x sec/3.5 min

which can be written as 60 x 3.5 = 210. so "x" seconds would be 210 seconds in 3 1/2 minutes.

you could do the same thing in the opposite direction for minutes to seconds:

1 min has 60 seconds. So in 7.25 minutes, how many seconds are there?

1 min/60 sec times 7.25 min/x sec

which can be written as 7.25 x 60 = 435. so "x" seconds would be 435 seconds in 7.25 minutes.

hours to seconds:

this one is slightly more complicated

In one hour there are 60 minutes, and in one minute there are 60 seconds.

so to convert from hours to seconds you would do this conversion:

1 hr/60 min times 1 min/60 sec. then the "min" would cancel out, and you would be left with the label "hr/sec". to do the math, it would be 1 hr / 60 x 60.

60x60 = 3600. so you would have 1 hr/3600 sec. So in one hour there are 3600 seconds.

so if you want to know how many seconds are in 6.75 hours:

6.75 hr/x sec times 3600 sec/1 hr

6.75 x 3600 = 24,300 so there are 24,300 seconds in 6.75 hours.

I hope this helps :)
