The statement is false. Vectors are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensional motion. Scalar quantities can be used to analyze linear motion problem, but not projectile motion.

Running at 2 m/s, Bruce the 45 kg quarterback, collides with Biff, the 90 kg tackle, who is traveling at 7 m/s in the other dire
melomori [17]

Given data

*The mass of Bruce is m_1 = 45 kg

*The initial velocity of the Bruce is u_1 = 2 m/s

*The mass of the biff is m_2 = 90 kg

*The initial velocity of the Biff is u_2 = -7 m/s

*The final velocity of the first glider is v_2 = -1 m/s

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total linear momentum of a system remains constant

Applying the law of conservation of momentum as

\begin{gathered} p_i=p_f \\ m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2 \\ v_1=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_2v_2_{}_{}_{}_{}}{m_1} \end{gathered}

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} v_1=\frac{(45)(2)+(90)(-7)-(90)(-1)}{45} \\ =-10\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Hence, the speed of the bruce knock backwards is v_1 = -10 m/s

How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

\mathrm{(a)}\: 2\: \mathrm{m/s}\\\mathrm{(b)}\: 20\: \mathrm{m/s}\\

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

We can set up the following equations with the information given:

\mathrm{(a)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$2\: \mathrm{m/s}$}

For part B, we have the same equation, but kinetic energy is now 2.0\cdot 10^5.

Therefore:

\mathrm{(b)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^5=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$20\: \mathrm{m/s}$}.

A spring with a spring constant of 4 N/m is stretched by Sarah's dog until extended by 2 m. How much elastic potential energy is
azamat

Hi there!

Recall the equation for spring potential energy:

PE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = extension of spring from equilibrium (m)

PE = Potential Energy (J)

Plug in the given values:

PE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(2^2) = \boxed{8 J}
