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

Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy without a(n) _____________ (medium/electric field).
KATRIN_1 [288]
Medium.
Medium is matter, and electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. Just like the sun, its plasma light travels across space to reach us.

Why are the significantly more thunderstorms in Florida than in California?
Andreyy89
Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.

Two hockey pucks with mass 0.1 kg slide across the ice and collide. Before
RideAnS [48]

The velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

<h3>What is the conservation of momentum?</h3>

The principle of the conservation of the linear momentum states that momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision.

Now given that;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(0.1 * 15) - (0.1 * 12) = 0.1* v + (0.1 * 15)

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.1v + 1.5

0.3 - 1.5 = 0.1v

v = -1.2/0.1

v = - 12 m/s

Hence, the velocity of pluck 1 is 12 m/s west.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
