A car with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. The car pulls over and picks up two

people. The mass of the car is now 150 kg. What is the new momentum if the velocity stays the same?

Answer:

New_momentum = 750 [kg.m/s]

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as

M  = mass* velocity

Original momentum

M_old = 100 Kg * 5 m/s = 500 [kg.m/s]

If the car pulls over and picks up two people. The mass of the car is now 150 kg, but the velocity stays the same.

New momentum

M_new = 150 Kg * 5 m/s = 750 [kg.m/s]

A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
