Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.350 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity?

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

mu=(m+M)v

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the koala bear

u = 0.750 m/s is the initial velocity of the koala bear

M = 0.350 kg is the mass of the other clay model

v is their final combined velocity

Solving the equation for v, we get

v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.200)(0.750)}{0.200+0.350}=0.278 m/s

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>1</u>

  • Initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=10m/s
  • Time=10s=t

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10-0}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1m/s^2

<u>P</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>-</u><u>2</u>

  • initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Final velocity=v=0.25m/s
  • Time=t=2s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25-0}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25}{2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=0.125m/s^2

Person-1 is accelerating faster.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The liquid formed from a melted solid has the same mass as the solid has.

Explanation:

As long as no water can escape, the mass of the ice before melting must equal the mass of the liquid water after.
