Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.205 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.720 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.320 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity (in m/s)? (Enter the magnitude.)

Answer:

Final velocity, v = 0.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the model, m_1=0.205\ kg

Speed of the model, u_1=0.72\ m/s

Mass of another model, m_2=0.32\ kg

Initial speed of another model, u_2=0

To find,

Final velocity

Solution,

Let V is the final velocity. As both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{0.205\times 0.72+0.32\times 0}{(0.205+0.32)}

V = 0.28 m/s

So, their final velocity is 0.28 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball across home plate. The ball travels 13.40m in 0.357s Determine the
Tanya [424]

Answer: I'm not sure what it needs to be rounded to, but I got 37.53501401 m/s

Explanation: The formula for speed is speed = distance/time. You plug in the distance (13.40) and the time (0.357), then divide 13.40 by 0.357

I hope this helps! :)

a roller coaster moves on a certain section of it's track with an average speed of 13 m/s. how much distance does it cover in 5.
viva [34]
  • Speed=13m/s
  • Time=5.8s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=Speed\times Time

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=13(5.8)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=75.4m

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1
White raven [17]

Answer:

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 13.23 m/s

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

h = 80 m

time of fall under gravity

t = 1.35 s

now if water melon start from rest then we have

v_i = 0

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

a = 9.81 m/s^2

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

v_f = v_i + at

so we will have

v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)

v_f = 13.23 m/s
