Answer:
2.47 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum = Mass X Velocity
If they were locked together, it means its a perfectly inelastic collision. Therefore,
Total momentum before = Total momentum after
Total momentum before = (20 X 20) - (18 X 17)
= 94
Total momentum after = 94
Y = Object speed after collision
94 = (20+18)Y
Y = 2.47368421 m/s
CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW
you stood on a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius , you would weigh?
A) four times more than you do on Earth.
B) two times less than you do on Earth.
C) the same as you do on Earth
D) two times more than you do on Earth
Answer:
OPTION C is correct
The same as you do on Earth
Explanation :
According to law of gravitation :
F=GMm/R^2......(a)
F= mg.....(b)
M= mass of earth
m = mass of the person
R = radius of the earth
From law of motion
Put equation b into equation a
mg=GMm/R^2
g=GMm/R^2
g=GM/R^2
We know from question a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius if we substitute we have
m= 4M
r=(2R)^2=4R^2
g= G4M/4R^2
Then, 4in the denominator will cancel out the numerator we have
g= GM/R^2
Therefore, g remain the same
We know that the change in momentum is equals to the product of force and time that is impulse (
). Therefore, we need to determine the value of that the water is in air by using the second equation of motion,

Here, u is initial velocity which is zero.
.
Thus, impulse

From Newton`s second law,

Therefore, impulse

Given,
and 
Substituting these values, we get
Change in momentum = impulse
.
Okay so yeah u have to minus then subtract then decide it it’s a method i was taught to do
