2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that,
Mass of Jeremy is 120 kg (
)
Speed of Jeremy is 3 m/s (
)
Speed of Jeremy after collision is (
) -2.5 m/s
Mass of Hans is 140 kg (
)
Speed of Hans is -2 m/s (
)
Speed of Hans after collision is (
)
Linear momentum is defined as “mass time’s speed of the vehicle”. Linear momentum before the collision of Jeremy and Hans is
= 
Substitute the given values,
= 120 × 3 + 140 × (-2)
= 360 + (-280)
= 80 kg m/s
Linear momentum after the collision of Jeremy and Hans is
= 
= 120 × (-2.5) + 140 ×
= -300 + 140 ×
We know that conservation of liner momentum,
Linear momentum before the collision = Linear momentum after the collision
80 = -300 + 140 ×
80 + 300 = 140 ×
380 = 140 ×
380/140=
= 2.71 m/s
2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.
Answer:
a)
Y0 = 0 m
Vy0 = 15 m/s
ay = -9.81 m/s^2
b) 7.71 m
c) 3.06 s
Explanation:
The knowns are that the initial vertical speed (at t = 0 s) is 15 m/s upwards. Also at that time the dolphin is coming out of the water, so its initial position is 0 m. And since we can safely assume this happens in Earth, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 pointing downwards
Y(0) = 0 m
Vy(0) = 15 m/s
ay = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it points down)
Since acceleration is constant we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:
Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2
To find the highest point we do the first time derivative (this is the speed:
V(t) = Vy0 + a * t
We equate this to zero
0 = Vy0 + a * t
0 = 15 - 9.81 * t
15 = 9.81 * t
t = 0.654 s
At this time it will have a height of:
Y(0.654) = 0 + 15 * 0.654 - 1/2 * 9.81 * 0.654^2 = 7.71 m
The doplhin jumps and falls back into the water, when it falls again it position will be 0 again. So we can equate the position to zero to find how long it was in the air knowing that it started the jump at t = 0s.
0 = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2
0 = 0 + 15 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 t^2
0 = 15 * t - 4.9 * t^2
0 = t * (15 - 4.9 * t)
t1 = 0 This is the moment it jumped into the air
0 = 15 - 4.9 * t2
15 = 4.9 * t2
t2 = 3.06 s This is the moment when it falls again.
3.06 - 0 = 3.06 s
Answer:
Average speed = 0.35 m/s
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Distance = 1.3 Km
Time = 62 minutes
To find the average speed in m/s;
First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;
Conversion:
1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters
For time;
1 minute = 60 seconds
62 minutes = X
Cross-multiplying, we have;
X = 62 * 60
X = 3720 seconds
Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;
Average speed = 0.35 m/s
This is a divergent plate boundary because the two tectonic plates are colliding together.
