Answer:

The total kinetic energy of the system before the collision is 57 Joules.                  

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first block, m_1=4\ kg

Speed of first block, v_1=4\ m/s

Mass of second block, m_2=2\ kg

Speed of first block, v_2=-5\ m/s

We need to find the total kinetic energy of the system before the collision. It is equal to the kinetic energies of both the blocks. It is given by :

K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2)\\\\K_i=\dfrac{1}{2}(4\times (4)^2+2\times (-5)^2)\\\\K_i=57\ J

So, the total kinetic energy of the system before the collision is 57 Joules.

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

80 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2

14. a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a. how much later does the ball
Burka [1]

The time taken to hit the ground is 3.9 s, the range is 18m and the final velocity is 42.82 m/s

<h3>Motion Under Gravity</h3>

The motion of an object under gravity is the vertical motion of the object under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s.

a. how much later does the ball hit the ground?

The time can be calculated by considering the vertical component of the motion with the use of formula below.

h = ut + 1/2gt²

Where

  • Height h = 75 m
  • Initial velocity u = 0 ( vertical velocity )
  • Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time t = ?

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

75 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t²

75 = 4.9t²

t² = 75/4.9

t² = 15.30

t = √15.3

t = 3.9 s

b. how far from the building will it land?

The range can be found by using the formula

R = ut

Where u = 4.6 m/s ( horizontal velocity )

R = 4.6 × 3.9

R = 18 m

c. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The final velocity will be

v = u + gt

v = 4.6 + 9.8 × 3.9

v = 4.6 + 38.22

v = 42.82 m/s

Therefore, the answers are 3.9 s, 18 m and 42.82 m/s
