I believe that these should be correct.
Hoping you pass!
the greater the <u>mass</u> of an object the more force is needed to cause acceleration
If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.
You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.
Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.
Answer:
Explanation:
Our values are,
We have all the values to apply the law of linear momentum, however, it is necessary to define the two lines in which the study will be carried out. Being an intersection the vehicle of mass m_1 approaches through the X axis, while the vehicle of mass m_2 approaches by the y axis. In the collision equation on the X axis, we despise the velocity of object 2, since it does not come in this direction.
For the particular case on the Y axis, we do the same with the speed of object 1.
By taking a final velocity as a component, we can obtain the angle between the two by relating the equations through the tangent
Replacing in any of the two functions, given above, we will find the final speed after the collision,
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s² .
The speed of a falling object keeps increasing smoothly,
in such a way that the speed is always 9.8 m/s faster than
it was one second earlier.
If you 'drop' the penny, then it starts out with zero speed.
If you also start the clock at the same instant, then
After 1.10 sec, Speed = (1.10 x 9.8) = 10.78 meters/sec
After 1.85 sec, Speed = (1.85 x 9.8) = 18.13 meters/sec
But you want this second one given in a different unit of speed.
OK then:
= (18.13 meter/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter)
= (18.13 x 3,600 / 1609.344) (mile/hr) = 40.56 mph (rounded)
We did notice that in an apparent effort to make the question
sound more erudite and sophisticated, you decided to phrase
it in terms of 'velocity'. We can answer it in those terms, if we
ASSUME that there is no wind, and the penny therefore doesn't
acquire any horizontal component of motion on its way down.
With that assumption in force, we are able to state unequivocally
and without fear of contradiction that each 'speed' described above ...
with the word 'downward' appended to it ... does become a 'velocity'.
