Answer:

A. 14 meters/second to the west

Explanation:

The collision is inelastic, which means that:

- only the total momentum is conserved (not the kinetic energy)

- the two cars stick to each other and continue their motion together after the collision

Therefore, we can write the law of conservation of momentum as follows:

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2 )v

where:

m_1 = 1.5 \cdot 10^3 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1 = +22 m/s is the initial velocity of the first car (let's take as positive the west direction)

m_2 = 9.0 \cdot 10^2 kg is the mass of the second car

u_2 = 0 is the initial velocity of the second car

v is the final velocity of the two cars

Re-arranging the equation, we get:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{(1.5\cdot 10^3 kg)(+22 m/s)}{1.5\cdot 10^3 kg+9.0\cdot 10^2 kg}=+13.8 m/s

So, approximately 14 m/s, and the direction is still west since the sign is positive.

How deep can an object with 6360N hitting on a sponge get ???
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The sponge must go \dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter} deep

Explanation:

If F = 6360 N, then it is required to find how deep can an object with this force hitting on a sponge get.

We know that, F = mgh

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

h=\dfrac{F}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{6360}{10m}\\\\h=\dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter}

So, the sponge must go \dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter} deep.

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.45 kg is rolling with a momentum of 9 kg*m/s, what is it's velocity?
Lelu [443]

Answer:  20 m/s

Explanation:

P = mv

since we're trying to find the velocity, you change the formula to v = P/m

v = ?

P = 9 kgm/s

m = 0.45 kg

v = 9 kgm/s / 0.45kg  = 20 m/s

Explain how sharpening a knife changes is MA (mechanical advantage).
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Sharpening a knife reduces it's height as a wedge thus giving it more efficiency.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage refers to the degree or quantity to which a force is increased or amplified by using a tool or a machine.

Mechanical Advantage can be calculated as follows:

Lenght of Incline (LI) / Height of Incline (HI)

Assume I have constructed a hedge with an inclination that run 10 meters from point x to point y (which is the back of a truck. Point y to the floor is 5 meters.

If   LI = 10m and

HI= 5m

The mechanical advantage is given as 10/5 = 2

The angle of incline is also called the effort distance. From our calculations above, by sacrificing horizontal movement, I reduced the amount of effort it would have cost to lift up that object from ground up -  a distance of 5 meters.

Think of a knife as a form of a similar wedge.

The more a knife is sharpening of a knife further reduces its angle of elevation. Thats why it becomes more efficient to use, hence our mechanical advantage.

Cheers
