Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

mass of moving car m1=5000 kg

initial velocity of moving car vi1=?

mass of car at rest = m2=10000 kg

initial velocity of car at rest = vi2=0

final velcoities of both cars after collision = vf1=vf2= 2m/s

using conservation of momentum rule

m1vi1+m2vi2=m1vf1+m2vf2

putting values

==> 5000 × vi1 + 1000 × 0 = 5000 × 2 + 10000 × 2

==> 5000 ×vi1 = 2 × 15000

==> vi1 = 2 × 15000 ÷ 5000

==> vi1= 2×3=6 m/s

Kelli weighs 425 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.36 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i = E_f

so:

wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c
Reika [66]

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ  = 0.23805 N-m

so

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

a mango drops to the ground from the top of a tree which is 5 meter high,how does it take the mango to reach the ground​
tatuchka [14]

Gravity tends to pull the object towards the earth's surface, resulting in a drop or a free fall. Fruits falling from a tree, a stone thrown off a cliff, skydiving, and other free-fall motions are examples.

Mango takes 1.009 seconds to reach the ground.

<h3>What is free fall ?</h3>
  • A situation in which an object moves solely under the influence of gravity is referred to as free fall. An external force acts on the ball, causing it to move faster. This free fall acceleration is also known as gravitational acceleration. The term "free fall" refers to a downward movement with no initial force or velocity.
  • Gravity tends to pull the object towards the earth's surface, resulting in a drop or a free fall. Fruits falling from a tree, a stone thrown off a cliff, skydiving, and other free-fall motions are examples.

h = \frac{g t^2}{2}

where,

h = height = 5m ,

t = time ,

g =gravity = 9.8 m/s.

t^{2} = 2h / g = 10/9.8 = 1.02

t= \sqrt{1.02} = 1.009 sec
