Bill forgets to put his car in park and it starts rolling west. When it is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s, it collides with Tanya'

s car, which is moving at a speed of 2m/s east. Bill's car bounces backward (to the east) at a speed of 2 m/s. Bill's car has a mass of 900 kg, and Tanya's car has a mass of 1100 kg.
a. What is the total momentum of the system before collision?

b. What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?

c, What is the velocity of Tanya's car after the collision?

a) Simply add the momentum but remember that velocities in opposite directions have opposite signs. West direction is positive, east - negative.

p = 900*3.5 + 1100*(-2) = 950 kg*m/s.

b) After the collision (thanks to the law of conservation of momentum) the momentum is still 950 kg*m/s

c) Since the total momentum is the same (950), but something inside changed, write

950 = 900*(-2)+1100*u, so solve it

u=2.5 m/s. Positive sign means that Tanya's car goes west.

PART A)

momentum of Bill's car

mass = 900 kg

speed = 3.5 m/s towards west

so momentum of this car given as

P_1 = 900(3.5) = 3150 kg m/s

Similarly momentum of Tanya's car

mass = 1100 kg

speed = 2 m/s towards East

so momentum will be

P_2 = 1100(2) = 2200 kg m/s

Total momentum of both cars will be

P = 3150 -2200 = 950 kg m/s Towards west

PART B)

Since there is no external force on the system of two cars

So here total momentum of both cars will remains conserved

So final momentum of two cars will be same as initial momentum

P = 950 kg m/s towards west

Part C)

final momentum of Bills car

P_1 = (900)(2) = 1800 kg m/s Towards East

now we have

P_1 + P_2 = 950

1100 v - 1800 = 950

v = 2.5 m/s towards west

A maintenance worker wants to torque an engine bolt to 65.0 N m. If the torque wrench is 35cm in length, what is force applied t
harina [27]

Answer:

Force = 186 N

Explanation:

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be easely calculated using the formula :

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Where \vec{r} is a vector that from the origin of the coordinate system to the point at which the force is applied (the position vector), \vec{F} is the applied force.

The easiest way of computing the force is by setting the origin of the coordinate system to the lowest point of the torque wrench.  By doing this we have that r (the magnitud of the position vector) is 35cm.

Before computing the force we need to set all our values to the international system of units (SI). The torque is already in SI. The one missing is the length of the torque wrench (it is in centimeters and we need it in meters). So :

35cm * \dfrac{1m}{100cm} = 0.35m

Now using the torque formula:

Torque = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

Where \theta is the smaller angle between the force and the position vector. Because the force is applied perpendiculary to the position vector  \theta = 90°, thus :

Torque = rFsin(\theta)}

65 N m = (0.35m)Fsin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{65N m} {(0.35m)sin(90°)}

F = \dfrac{1300} {7}N

so the force is approximately 186 N.

1. Do you think that hand signals are important in officiating games? why?​
alex41 [277]

Yeah, hand signals are important in officiating games. The hand signals are given by the referee who first signals the fault and then indicates which team has won the point. A point is indicated by one finger at the side of the court to indicate the winner of the rally.

If you dribble a basketball with a frequency of 1.77 Hz, how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles?
Licemer1 [7]
<h2>It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.</h2>

Explanation:

Frequency of dribble = 1.77 Hz

That is

         Number of dribbles in 1 second = 1.77

         \texttt{Time taken for 1 dribble = }\frac{1}{1.77}=0.565s

Now we need to find how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles.

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x Time taken for 1 dribble

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x 0.565

         Time taken for 12 dribbles = 6.78 seconds      

It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.
