Answer:
The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s
Explanation:
The mass of the man = 100 kg
The mass of the scooter = 10 kg
The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s
The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s
Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward
The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity
The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;
The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s
The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v
When the momentum is conserved, we have;
550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v
∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.
The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s
Answer: 3.21 N
For weight, we will multiply by 
Hence, the rock would weigh 3.21 N.
The basic sciences are defined as the scientific disciplines of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. They are called basic sciences because they provide a fundamental understanding of natural phenomena and the processes by which natural resources are transformed.
<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = ½mv² = ½ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)² = 2.9 J
max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum:
1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v → v = 0.6 m/s
which means the combined KE = ½ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)² = 0.79 J
The remaining energy went into the spring:
U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = ½kx² = ½ * 554N/m * x²
x = 0.0076 m ↠(a)</span>
