Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

5. Susan exerted 400 newtons of force while pushing on a huge boulder. The boulder moved 0 meters. Calculate work.
Stells [14]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance in the direction of force.

The formula is ; Work = Force * Distance

Given that :

Force = 400 N

Distance = 0 meters

Work = 400 * 0 = 0 J

No work was done because the boulder did not move.

Forces that act in equal and opposite directions on an object
Akimi4 [234]
These are known as balanced forces because they will not change the motion of the object, and it will remain at rest unless forces become unbalanced- meaning they would be unequal and not opposing.
