James (mass 95.0 kg ) and Ramon (mass 67.0 kg ) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorit

e beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. Ramon pulls on the rope to give himself a speed of 1.10 m/s. What is James's speed?

Answer:

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass of James = 95.0 kg

mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

We consider James and Ramon and the rope to a single system. This means that the net external forces on the system = 0

.The momentum = 0, so the sum of the momentum of each part must be 0 in total.

Step 2: Calculate the speed of James

m(james) *v(James) = m(Ramon) * v(Ramon)

with m(James) = the mass of James = 95.0 kg

with v(James) = speed of James = TO BE DETERMINED

with m(Ramon) = mass of Ramon = 67.0 kg

with v(Ramon) = speed of Ramon = 1.10 m/s

v(James) =  (m(Ramon) * v(Ramon))/ m(james)

v(James) = (67.0 kg* 1.10 m/s) / 95.0 kg

v(James) = 0.776 m/s

The speed of James is 0.776 m/s

A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the tot
Molodets [167]

Answer:

16250 kgm/s due south

Explanation:

Applying,

M = mv................. Equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the car,

Given: m = 1000 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M = 1000(6.5)

M = 6500 kgm/s

For the truck,

Given: m = 3500 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M' = 3500(6.5)

M' = 22750 kgm/s.

Assuming South to be negative direction,

From the question,

Total momentum of the two vehicles = (6500-22750)

Total momentum of the two vehicles = -16250 kgm/s

Hence the total momentum of the two vehicles is 16250 kgm/s due south

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

A 5,000 kg truck moving at 8 m/s has the same momentum as a 2,500 kg car. What is the velocity of the car?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

16 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Velocity of car =..?

Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Momentum of truck =.?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 5000 × 8

Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:

From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.

This implies that:

Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Velocity of car =..?

Momentum = mass × velocity

40000 = 2500 × velocity

Divide both side by 2500

Velocity = 40000/2500

Velocity = 16 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.
