Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.

How many possible outcomes are there in rolling a spinner 1 to 8?; What is the probability of spin an even number on a 1 to 8 sp
UkoKoshka [18]

The probability of getting a prime number ( 2, 3, 5, 7) between 1 to 8 is 1/2. The total outcomes possible for spinning the spinner and tossing the coin is 16.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur is called probability.

Total number of outcomes = 8.

Let, the probability of getting a prime number ( 2, 3, 5, 7) between 1 to 8

P(E) = (no. of outcomes) /( total no. of outcomes)

=4/8

=1/2

When a coin is tossed,  there are two possible outcomes that are H(head), and T(tail).

If you spin the spinner , there are 8 possibilities.

Total outcomes = 8 * 2

=16

There are 16 outcomes, when spinning a spinner numbered from 1 to 8 and tossing a coin.

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i
Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2
