Object A has mass mA = 9 kg and initial momentum vector pA,i = < 20, -6, 0 > kg · m/s, just before it strikes object B, wh

ich has mass mB = 13 kg. Just before the collision object B has initial momentum vector pB,i = < 6, 6, 0 > kg · m/s. Consider a system consisting of both objects A and B. What is the total initial momentum of this system, just before the collision?

Answer:

p= kg m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a vector quantity that represents the "amount of motion" of an object.

Mathematically, the momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity

Since momentum is a vector, it also has a direction, which is the same as the velocity.

Therefore, if we have two objects, the total momentum of the two objects will be obtained from the vector sum of the individual momenta of the two objects.

In this problem we have:

p_A=  kg m/s is the momentum of object A

p_B = kg m/s is the momentum of object B

Therefore, the total momentum of objects A and B can be obtained by adding each components of A to the corresponding component of B, so:

p_x = 20 +6 = 26 kg m/s\\p_y = -6 +6 = 0 kg m/s\\p_z = 0 + 0 = 0 kg m/s

So the total initial momentum is

p= kg m/s

The image formed by a plane mirror is _____.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.

Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval 6\le t\le 10 is

\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where x(t) is the person's position at time t. I've taken the liberty of estimating x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m. The closest choice among the answers is 0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}.
