Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of tree stump is M

mass bullet is m

velocity of bullet is v

Conserving momentum for bullet and tree stump

Initial Momentum P_i=mv

Suppose v_0 is the velocity of the system

Final Momentum P_f=(M+m)v_0

Initial momentum =Final Momentum

mv=(m+M)v_0

v_0=\frac{mv}{m+M}

A sprinter speeds up to 3 m/s during the last 2 seconds of the race with an
quester [9]

Answer:

<em>The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

The following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of a=0.4~m/s^2.

To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:

v_o=v_f-at

Substituting the values:

v_o=3-0.4*2

v_o=3-0.8

v_o=2.2~m/s

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor
uysha [10]

Answer:

c.a_m

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon=a_m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth=a_e

g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e

Net force due to am on an object on moon=F_{net}=ma_m

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth=F=ma_e

F=F_{net}(given)

ma_m=ma_e

a_e=a_m

Hence, option c is true.

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.
