The person is walking 3.5 miles an hour
Answer: 6m/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum, the change in momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the change in momentum after collision.
After collision, the two objects will move at the same velocity (v).
Let mA and mB be the mass of the two objects
uA and uB be their velocities before collision.
v be their velocity after collision
Since the two objects has the same mass, mA= mB= m
Also since object A is at rest, its velocity = 0m/s
Velocity of object B = 12m/s
Mathematically,
mAuA + mBuB = (mA+mB )v
m(0) + m(12) = (m+m)v
0+12m = (2m)v
12m = 2mv
12 = 2v
v = 6m/s
Therefore the speed of the composite body (A B) after the collision is 6m/s
Answer:
The density of salt water is more than that of density of fresh water, so so salt and fresh water makes a difference in floating of ships.
Answer:
The height of the bridge is 78.4 m.
Explanation:
Given;
time of the stone motion off the bridge, t = 4.0 s
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
The height of the bridge is given by;
h = ut + ¹/₂gt²
where;
u is the initial velocity of the stone, u = 0
h = ¹/₂gt²
h = ¹/₂(9.8)(4)²
h = 78.4 m
Therefore, the height of the bridge is 78.4 m.
