Two or more velocities add by

1 answer:

6 0

Two or more velocities add by vector sum.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with its own intensity, direction and verse. Therefore, we cannot simply add two velocities by algebraic sum, but we need to decompose them on two axes (if we are in a 2D-plane) and calculate the resultant on each axis, and then calculate the total resultant of the two vectors, which will have its intensity, direction and verse.

What is a Non-Example of Newton's 1st law?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.

so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.

so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.

( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s$

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

Michael Jordan, el célebre basquetbolista, ganó el torneo de clavadas de la NBA en 1988. Para lograr la hazaña saltó 1.35 metros

kozerog [31]

(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s$

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

$v=u+gt$

Solving for t,

$t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s$

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

$v'^2-u^2=2gh'$

we find

$v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s$

And the corresponding time is

$t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s$

So the time to go from h' to h is

$\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s$

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

$\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s$
