Answer:
7kgm/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.
Let P1A and P1B be the initial momentum of the bodies A and B respectively
Let P2A and P2B be the final momentum of the bodies A and B respectively after collision.
Based on the law:
P1A+P2A = P1B + P2B
Given P1A = 5kgm/s
P2A = 0kgm/s(ball B at rest before collision)
P2A = -2.0kgm/s (negative because it moves in the negative x direction)
P2B = ?
Substituting the values in the equation gives;
5+0 = -2+P2B
5+2 = P2B
P2B = 7kgm/s
Well, if you're using the law to work with periods of Earth satellites,
then the most convenient unit is going to be 'hours' for the largest
orbits, or 'minutes' for the LEOs.
But if you're using it to work with periods of planets, asteroids, or
comets, then you'd be working in days or years.
Answer:
a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg
Explanation:
since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .
44 = m * 9.81m/s^2
m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg
b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)
44 = m (a +g)
44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)
44/11.18 = m
m = 3.94 kg
