Answer:

3.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'............................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, m' = mass of the watermelon, u = initial velocity of the bullet, u' = initial velocity of the watermelon, v =  final velocity of the bullet, v' = final velocity of the watermelon.

make v' the subject of the equation,

v' = (mu+m'u'-mv)/m'....................... Equation 2

Given: m = 25 g = 0.025 kg, u = 220 m/s, m' = 2.25 kg, u' = 0 m/s ( at rest), v = 110 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

v' =[ (0.025×220) +(2.25×0)+(0.025×110)]/2.25

v' = 3.67 m/s.

Hence the velocity of the watermelon = 3.67 m/s

Studentka2010 [4]
A) 1 rev = 2π rad. Using this ratio, you can find the rad/s: 1160 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60 s = 121.5 rad/s

b) You can find linear speed from angular speed using this equation (note the radius is half the diameter given in the question): v = ωr = 121.5 rad/s x 1.175 m = 142.8 m/s

c) You can find centripetal acceleration using this equation: a = v^2/r = (142.8 m/s)^2 / 1.175 m = 17 355 m/s^2

Calculate the force needed to accelerate a car of a mass 1000 kg by 3 m/s2
beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1000 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>3000 N</h3>

Please help me with this question, especially the angle part. I have solved the initial velocity already. I don't know what to d
Helga [31]
I think you almost got it.

At the top, the velocity only has horizontal component, so v=12 m/s is v_x, which is v*cos(theta), because v_x is constant, so the same when it was launched or now.

With the value of the initial speed (28 m/s, which is the total speed), you can set

v_x = v * cos( theta ) ---> 12 = 28*cos(theta) --> cos(theta)=12/28=3/7

or theta = 64.62 deg, it is D. Think about it. I hope you see it.

A car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 400 meters in 10 seconds. What was the acceleration of
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec

So distance traveled by car s = 400 m

Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From second equation of motion we know that s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So 400=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 10^2

a=8m/sec^2

So acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Is the appearance of a light wave changed as it is aborted?
Sonbull [250]
Light waves are never 'aborted'. 

They can be 'absorbed', and I think that's what you mean. 
It's what happens when light hits something or goes into it,
and never comes out. 

"Absorb" just means "soak up".  When a light wave hits something and
gets soaked up in it, it's gone, and never comes out the other side.

The light wave certainly gets changed ... it no longer exists.

The object that absorbs it also gets changed.  It soaks up the energy
in the light wave, and it has a little more internal energy (heat) than it
had before the light hit it.
