Answer:

Total momentum of the system is 378 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of first bumper car, m₁ = 222 kg

Velocity of first bumper car, v₁ = 3.10 m/s (in right)

Mass of other bumper car, m₂ = 165 kg

Velocity of second bumper car, v₂ = -1.88 m/s (in left)

Momentum of the system is given by the product of its mass and velocity. So, the total momentum of this system is given by :

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

p=222\ kg\times 3.10\ m/s+165\ kg\times (-1.88\ m/s)

p = 378 kg-m/s

Hence, the total momentum of the system is 378 kg-m/s

Consider the two moving boxcars in Example 5. Car 1 has a mass of m1 = 65000 kg and a velocity of v01 = +0.80 m/s. Car 2 has a m
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

1.034m/s

Explanation:

We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,

m_1 = 65000kg\\v_1 = 0.8m/s\\m_2 = 92000kg\\v_2 = 1.2m/s

<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,

V_{cm} = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

Substituting,

V_{cm} = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

V_{cm} = 1.034m/s

Part B)

For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where here v_f is the velocity after the collision.

v_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_f = \frac{(65000*0.8)+(92000*1.2)}{92000+65000}

v_f = 1.034m/s

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second
Ksenya-84 [330]
False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

For an object with a given mass on Earth, calculate the weight of the object with the mass equal in magnitude to the number repr
leonid [27]

<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the object is 29.4 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the weight of the object, we use the equation:

W=m\times g

where,

m = mass of the object = 3 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=3kg\times 9.8m/s^2\\\\W=29.4N

Hence, the weight of the object is 29.4 N
