Answer:

$m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of two particles is

$p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Where m1,m2,v1, and v2 are the respective masses and velocities of the particles at a given time. Then, the two particles collide and change their velocities to v1' and v2'. The final momentum is now

$p'=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'$

The momentum is conserved if no external forces are acting on the system, thus

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'$

Let's put some numbers in the problem and say

$m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s$

$(8)(12)+(6)(4)=(8)(-6)+(6)(28)$

$96+24=-48+168$

120=120

It means that when the particles collide, the first mass returns at 6 m/s and the second continues in the same direction at 28 m/s

a lorry travels 3600m on a test track accelerating constantly at 3m/s squared from standstill. what is the final velocity (3 sig

suter [353]

The final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

Explanation:

As it is stated that the lorry was in standstill position before travelling a distance or covering a distance of 3600 m, the initial velocity is considered as zero. Then, it is stated that the lorry travels with constant acceleration. So we can use the equations of motion to determine the final velocity of the lorry when it reaches 3600 m distance.

Thus, a initial velocity (u) = 0, acceleration a = 3 m/s² and the displacement s is 3600 m. The third equation of motion should be used to determine the final velocity as below.

$2as =v^{2} - u^{2} \\\\v^{2} = 2as + u^{2}$

Then, the final velocity will be

$v^{2} = 2 * 3 * 3600 + 0 = 21600\\ \\v=\sqrt{21600}=146.969 m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy? A. 40 J B. 80 J C. 18 J

rusak2 [61]

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,

Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s

As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

$\text {Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2} \boldsymbol{m} \boldsymbol{v}^{2}$

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,

$K . E .=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 2^{2}$ = 40 J

A potential difference of 107 mV exists between the inner and outer surfaces of a cell membrane. The inner surface is negative r

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The workdone is $W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The potential difference is $V = 107 mV = 107 *10^{-3} \ V$

Generally the charge on $Na^{+}$ is $Q_{Na^{+}} = 1.60 *10^{-19 } \ C$

Generally the workdone is mathematically represented as

$W = Q_{Na^{+}}V$

=> $W = 1.60 *10^{-19 } * 107 *10^{-3}$

=> $W = 1.712 *10^{-20 } \ J$

A woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The force that cause the centripetal acceleration is the static friction, and the briefcase begin to move if the force of centripetal acceleration exceeds the force due to the static friction

Explanation:

Given data:

r = radius = 54.5 m

v = speed of the car = 12.4 m/s

The force due to the static friction that is exerted on the curve in the road is what causes the centripetal acceleration. If the force due to centripetal acceleration is greater than the force of static friction, then the briefcase will begin to roll.
