Consider velocity to the right as positive.
First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right
Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left
Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
= 4*2 + 8*(-3)
= -16 (kg-m)/s
Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.
Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s
Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.
<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma
Force = mass* acceleration
This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time,
force=(mass*velocity)/time
such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time
Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum
Momentum=mass*velocity
Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s
Momentum=6300*0.11
P=693 kg (m/s)
Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s
Momentum=50*10.4
P=520 kg (m/s)
The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>
Answer: Ok so We already know that velocity is on the x-axis.
Since acceleration = Force / Mass
Here the Force is downward due to the gravitational pull or we can say it is along y-axis.
Since acceleration is directly proportional to force, so acceleration is also along y-axis. This means that velocity & acceleration are perpendicular to each other.
Example:
Let us assume that an aeroplane is flying parallel to the horizontal plane. The aeroplane will experience the acceleration in several directions. One of them here is the gravitational pull which is perpendicular to the the apparent velocity. So the net velocity & its direction will depend upon the vector sum total of all the forces/acceleration acting on it. Also because of this gravitational pull the aeroplane rotates along with the earth, which is a proof that the force/g experienced by it does not go waste.

Explanation:

The 4 signifies the
atomic weight, and the 2 subscribes the element's
atomic number(aka the number of protons in the atom).
