In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.
75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s
The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
Answer:
9 times
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is:
KE = ½ mv²
When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.
9KE = ½ m(3v)²
Answer:
d. velocity slows down and angle changes
Explanation:
Answer:
The center of mass changes
Explanation:
The higher the center of mass the more likely things are to topple over but the lower it is the more likely to stay put when all 4 wheels are down .
