Yes, acceleration only tells you how velocity is changing. It doesn't say anything about what velocity is at any given time.

For example, if you set your car to cruise control on the highway going 80 mph. That is a constant high velocity, yet the car has 0 acceleration.

The opposite is also true. After a red light turns green, you put foot on the gas to accelerate. However, your velocity is initially low even though it has high acceleration.

Of course !

A passenger jet, cruising at 37,000 feet on its way to California,
keeping a constant airspeed and flying in a straight line, can have
a velocity of 500 miles per hour west, but its acceleration is zero !

Answer:

The resultant velocity is  v_t=10 knots

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

     M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Where M_L is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

            v_L is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

            M_f mass of freighter = 60,000

           v_f is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

         v_f = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

              M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Substituting values

            40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w

Where v_t_w the final velocity due west

Making v_t_w the subject

          v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 8 \ knots

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction          

          v_L = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

           M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n

Where v_t_n the final velocity due north

     Making v_t_n the subject

          v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 6 \ knots

The resultant velocity is

       v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}

            = \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}

           v_t=10 knots

In a carrom game, a striker weighs three times the mass of the other pieces, the carrom men and the queen, which each have a mas
Mila [183]

Answer:

- The final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (3V/2)

- The final velocity of the striker is (1/2) of the initial velocity of the striker. That is, (V/2)

Hence, the relative velocity of the queen with respect to the striker after collision

= (3V/2) - (V/2)

= V m/s.

Explanation:

This is a conservation of Momentum problem.

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

The mass of the striker = M

Initial Velocity of the striker = V (+x-axis)

Let the final velocity of the striker be u

Mass of the queen = (M/3)

Initial velocity of the queen = 0 (since the queen was initially at rest)

Final velocity of the queen be v

Collision is elastic, So, momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Momentum before collision = (M)(V) + 0 = (MV) kgm/s

Momentum after collision = (M)(u) + (M/3)(v) = Mu + (Mv/3)

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision.

MV = Mu + (Mv/3)

V = u + (v/3)

u = V - (v/3) (eqn 1)

Kinetic energy balance

Kinetic energy before collision = (1/2)(M)(V²) = (MV²/2)

Kinetic energy after collision = (1/2)(M)(u²) + (1/2)(M/3)(v²) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

Kinetic energy before collision = Kinetic energy after collision

(MV²/2) = (Mu²/2) + (Mv²/6)

V² = u² + (v²/3) (eqn 2)

Recall eqn 1, u = V - (v/3); eqn 2 becomes

V² = [V - (v/3)]² + (v²/3)

V² = V² - (2Vv/3) + (v²/9) + (v²/3)

(4v²/9) = (2Vv/3)

v² = (2Vv/3) × (9/4)

v² = (3Vv/2)

v = (3V/2)

Hence, the final velocity of the queen is (3/2) of the initial velocity of the striker and is in the same direction.

The final velocity of the striker after collision

= u = V - (v/3) = V - (V/2) = (V/2)

The relative velocity of the queen withrespect to the striker after collision

= (velocity of queen after collision) - (velocity of striker after collision)

= v - u

= (3V/2) - (V/2) = V m/s.

Hope this Helps!!!!
