Answer:

0

Explanation:

Since momentum is given by:

\vec{p}=m.\vec{v}

Therefore momentum is a vector quantity in the direction of velocity.

  • Inelastic collision is the type of collision in which the masses combine after collision and start moving in the direction of the greater momentum but here in this case we have the momentum equal and opposite in direction.

<u>This case can be described mathematically as:</u>

m_1.\vec{v_1}=m_2.\vec{v_2}

since the mass and velocity are equal:

m.\vec{v}=m.\vec{v}

net momentum:

p_{net}=0

A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m when the cord is stretched 2.00
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>

<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>

<em>E = 5×4</em>

<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>

<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

<em></em>

Answer:

Directly proportional: as one amount increases another amount increases at the ... The "constant of proportionality" is the value that relates the two amounts ... Example: y is directly proportional to x, and when x=3 then y=15. ... Speed and travel time are Inversely Proportional because the faster we go the shorter the time.

What happens to the open circuit if a small fan is connected at point f and the circuit is closed
liraira [26]
There's no way to tell.  Without seeing a diagram of the circuit,
I'll need to know much more about it than you've told me.
I don't know anything about the components or power supply
that are in the circuit, and I don't know where point ' f ' is in it.

Right now, even with the copious volume of all the available
information, no answer to your question is possible.
