Answer:

33 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the total mass of the child and the wagon is m =22 kg, while the velocity is v = 1.5 m/s, therefore the momentum is

$p=mv=(22 kg)(1.5 m/s)=33 kg m/s$

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

madreJ [45]

In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s

You draw a straight line from the start point to the end point. It doesn't matter what route was actually followed for the trip.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg

kaheart [24]

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

$(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s$

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

$(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)$

v₂ = 5 m/s
