Answer:

-1 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum should be equal. Momentum, p is expressed as the product of mass and velocity. Therefore, p=mv where m and v represent mass and velocity respectively. In this case

m_d v_d+m_u v_u=(m_d + m_u)v_c

Where subscripts d and u represent downwards and upwards respectively while c is common hence common velocity which is unknown in this case. Taking downwards as negative while upwards as positive then substituting -3 m/s for downward speed while 3 m/s for upward speed, the masses as given then

(2*-3)+(1*3)=(2+1)v

V=-1 m/s hence downward direction

The mass of an object on earth is 20 kg what will be the mass of that object on moon? And why? ​
Alla [95]

Answer:

20kg

Explanation:

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object, the amount of matter inside it does not change based on location. E.g. Objects do not lose matter when they travel to the moon.

Weight, on the other hand is the downward force you exert on the ground. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravitational field strength and changes in different places with different gravitational strength. E.g. The moon's gravitational strength is 1/5 of Earth's so the mass of the object would stay the same but the weight would be only 20% of the weight is had on earth.

Hope this helped!

A football player kicks a football in a field goal attempt. When the football reaches its maximum height, what is the relationsh
Stels [109]

At position of maximum height we know that the vertical component of its velocity will become zero

so the object will have only horizontal component of velocity

so at that instant the motion of object is along x direction

while if we check the acceleration of object then it is due to gravity

so the acceleration of object is vertically downwards

so it is along y axis

so here these two physical quantities are perpendicular to each other

so correct answer would be

<em>C)At the maximum height, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other. </em>

How do i figure out this question?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning <br><br> 5x+y=7<br> 20x+2=y
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

    25x = 5

        x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6
