(a) The momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) The velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass, m₁ = 1.2kg

Velocity, v₁ = 4.5m/s

Mass, m₂ = 0.8kg

v₂ = 0

(a) Momentum of the trolley before impact, p

We know:

Momentum = mass X velocity

p = 1.2 X 4.5

p = 5.4 kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) Speed of the trolleys after impact, v = ?

During collision, the momentum is conserved.

So,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

(1.2 X 4.5) + (0.8 X 0) = (1.2 +0.8) X v

5.4 + 0 = 2v

v = 2.7m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

A 75kg hockey player is skating across the ice at a speed of 6.0m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force required to stop
liq [111]

Answer:

692.31 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma............... Equation 1

Where F = Average force required to stop the player, m = mass of the player, a = acceleration of the player

But,

a = (v-u)/t............ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............ Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 75 kg, u = 6.0 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop), t = 0.65 s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 75(0-6)/0.65

F = -692.31 N

Hence the average force required to stop the player is 692.31 N

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200s what is the speed of the car
Oksana_A [137]
Velocity is distance/time 

so 150/7200=.0208km/s 

unless you have to convert it to miles or something else. but use the formula!

Nady [450]

Answer:

v=0.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m ₁= 390 kg ,u ₁= 0.5 m/s

m₂ = 250 kg ,u₂ = 0.76 m/s

As we know that if there is no any external force on the system the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m ₁u ₁+m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m ₁ ) v

Now putting the values in the above equation

390 x 0.5 + 250 x 0.76 = (390 + 250 ) v

v=\dfrac{390\times 0.5+250\times 0.76}{390+250}\ m/s

v=0.60 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the system will be 0.6 m/s.
