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

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially
Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock?<br><br> True<br> False
galina1969 [7]
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along  axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0
