Answer:

True

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector, therefore it consists of two elements:

- A magnitude (also called speed), which is the ratio between the displacement of the object and the time taken

- A direction, which corresponds to the direction of motion of the object

Therefore, velocity can be describes as positive or negative, depending on the direction which has been chosen as positive. If we chose the positive x-axis as positive direction, therefore:

- if the object is moving to the right (positive x-direction), the velocity will be positive

- if the object is moving to the left (negative x-direction), the velocity will be negative

So, in this case, since the velocity of the cart is negative, it must be moving to the left.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a) v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b) v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ball, m_b=4\ kg

initial speed of the ball, v_b=10\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the person, m_p=70\ kg

a)

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

When the person catches the ball, assuming that the person catches it with an impact without absorbing the shock.

m_b.v_b=(m_b+m_p)v

4\times 10=(4+70)\times  v

v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b)

When the ball hits the person and bounces off with the velocity of v_b'=8\ m.s^{-1}.

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

m_b.v_b+m_p.v_p=m_b.v_b'+m_p.v_p'

where:

v_b'= final speed of the ball after collision

v_p'= final speed of the person after collision

v_p= initial velocity of the person = 0

putting the respective values in the above eq.

4\times 10+0=4\times 8+70\times v_p'

v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

Radda [10]

Answer:

160J

Explanation:

Given force = 8N and total distance = 20 meters

Workdone = force x distance

= 8 x 20

= 160J

Therefore, workdone by Riley in pulling the hoover is 160J
