If your brakes fail, look for something to rub against, try to pick something that will not give way.True or False?

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False

If brakes fail then we should not run against any object or wall to slow down the speed instead we should use friction forces slow down the car and shift gear to neutral to cease any acceleration.

By driving zig-zag motion friction force on the tires may stop the car after some distance.

Do not try to shut off the engine as it will lock the steering mechanism any prove fatal.

Action-reaction forces are not balanced forces because of what?

lara [203]

Oh but they are !

Newton's 3rd law of motion says that for every action, the reaction is
equal and opposite. That's as balanced as you can get.

A 125kg bumper car going 18.5 m/a bumps a 187.kkg bumper car at rest. if the first car (125kg) bounces back at 8 m/s what is the

kozerog [31]

Imagine we have a 2 lb ball of putty moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 18 lb bowling ball at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s. After the collision, the two move together with a speed of v1. To find v1, use momentum conservation: 2x5=(18+2)v1, v1=0.5 mph. Next, imagine we have a 18 lb bowling ball moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 2 lb ball of putty at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s. After the collision, the two move together with a speed of v2. To find v2, use momentum conservation: 18x5=(18+2)v2, v2=4.5 mph.

Two particles with masses 2m and 9m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m i

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The final speed for the mass 2m is $v_{2y}=-1,51\ v_{i}$ and the final speed for the mass 9m is $v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$ .

The angle at which the particle 9m is scattered is $\theta = -66,68^{o}$ with respect to the - y axis.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy is conserved.

Conservation of linear momentum:

Because the linear momentum is a vector quantity we consider the conservation of the components of momentum in the x and y axis.

The subindex 1 will refer to the particle 9m and the subindex 2 will refer to the particle 2m

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

$p_{xi} =p_{xf}$

In the x axis before the collision we have

$p_{xi}=9m\ v_{i} - 2m\ v_{i}$

and after the collision we have that

$p_{xf} =9m\ v_{1x}$

In the y axis before the collision $p_{yi} =0$

after the collision we have that

$p_{yf} =9m\ v_{1y} - 2m\ v_{2y}$

$p_{xi} =p_{xf} \\7m\ v_{i} =9m\ v_{1x}\Rightarrow v_{1x} =\frac{7}{9}\ v_{i}$

then

$p_{yi} =p_{yf} \\0=9m\ v_{1y} -2m\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y}=\frac{2}{9} \ v_{2y}$

Conservation of kinetic energy:

$\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{i} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{i} ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{1f} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{2f} ^{2}$

$\frac{11}{2}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2} \ 9m\ [(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+ (\frac{2}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{2y} ^{2}]+ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}$

Putting in one side of the equation each speed we get

$\frac{25}{9}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{11}{9}\ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}\\v_{2y} =-1,51\ v_{i}$

We know that the particle 2m travels in the -y axis because it was stated in the question.

Now we can get the y component of the speed of the 9m particle:

$v_{1y} =\frac{2}{9}\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y} =-0,335\ v_{i}$

the magnitude of the final speed of the particle 9m is

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{v_{1x} ^{2}+v_{1y} ^{2} }$

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+(-0,335)^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2} }\Rightarrow \ v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$

The tangent that the speed of the particle 9m makes with the -y axis is

$tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{1x} }{v_{1y}} =-2,321 \Rightarrow\theta=-66,68^{o}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 9m is:

$\vec{v_{1f} }=\frac{7}{9} v_{i} \hat{x}-0,335\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 2m is:

$\vec{v_{2f} }=-1,51\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

Take a long look at the moon. What evidence do you see that indicates that it is NOT tectonically active Explain.

eduard

Without plate tectonics, new mountain belts could not form. Earth would be a Waterworld with occasional shield volcanoes emerging briefly above the waves. If regular catastrophic convective overturn occurred, as on Venus, life would have a precarious foothold indeed.
