Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.
It is called condensation. Hope this helped!
Answer:
A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Final velocity (V) = 0
Time (t) =?
Initial velocity (U) =?
A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.
Let us obtain an express for time (t)
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)
a = V/t
Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)
V = s/t
a = s/t^2
Cross multiply
a x t^2 = s
Divide both side by a
t^2 = s/a
Take the square root of both side
t = √(s/a)
Now we can obtain the time as follow
Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2
Distance (s) = 256ft
Time (t) =..?
t = √(s/a)
t = √(256/26)
t = 3.14 secs
Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs
B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.
V = U + at
Final velocity (V) = 0
Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2
Time (t) = 3.14 sec
Initial velocity (U) =.?
0 = U – 26x3.14
0 = U – 81.64
Collect like terms
U = 81.64 ft/s
Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s
I think number 1 is incorrect I believe that answer is D. Number 6 I believe would be B. The rest seem to be correct.
If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,
then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of
these things to happen.
Once in a while, there may be <em><u>a group</u></em> of forces (two or more) acting on
an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced". When
that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed
is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line. In that case, it's not
possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it.
