A car of mass 1500 kg travels due East with a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. Eventually it turns right, and travels due South with

a constant speed of 15 m/s. By making the turn, and reducing its speed, the car’s linear momentum changed. What was the direction of the car’s change in linear momentum? Give a numerical answer that is an angle, with a qualifier such as North-of-East, or West-of-North, etc

Answer:

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass of a body and its velocity

Momentum = mass × velocity

Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

∆P = m∆v

∆P = m(v-u)

Given m = 1500kg

v = 25m/s

u = 15m/s

∆P = 1500(25-15)

∆P = 1500×10

∆P = 15,000kgm/s

Since the car first travels due East i.e +x direction

x = 25m/s

Travelling due south is negative y direction

y = -15m/s

Direction of the car change

θ = tan^-1(y/x)

θ = tan^-1(-15/25)

θ = tan^-1(-0.6)

θ = -30.96°

Since tan is negative in the second quadrant

θ = 180-30.96

θ = 149.04°

The direction of the car’s change in linear momentum is 149.04° West of North

A 15kg ball accelerates at a rate of 3m/s/s. What force was required?
hoa [83]

Answer:

<h2>45 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 62 kg bungee jumper jumps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord whose unstretched length is 12 m. She falls a total of 3
Andrew [12]

Answer:

k = 104.46 N/m

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

so we will have

initial gravitational potential energy = final total spring potential energy

as we know that she falls a total distance of 31 m

while the unstretched length of the string is 12 m

so the extension in the string is given as

x = L - L_o

x = 31 - 12 = 19 m

so we have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

62(9.81)(31) = \frac{1}{2}k (19^2)

k = 104.46 N/m
