Answer:

0.6kg

Explanation:

the unknown here is the mass of the second block

applying the law of the conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v₃

where m₁=mass of first block=2.2kg

m₂=mass of colliding block= ?

v₁= velocity of first block=1.2m/s

v₂=velocity of colliding block=4.0m/s

v₃= final velocity of combined block=1.8m/s

applying the formula above

(2.2 × 1.2) + (m₂ × 4) = (2.2 + m₂) × 1.8

2.64 + 4m₂ = 3.96 + 1.8m₂

collecting like terms

4m₂ - 1.8m₂ = 3.96 - 2.64

2.2m₂=1.32

divide both sides by 2.2

m₂= 0.6kg

You're driving down the highway late one night at 22 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
sleet_krkn [62]

speed of the car is given on the road

v = 22 m/s

reaction time is given as

t = 0.50 s

now we can find the distance that it will move during this reaction time

d_1 = 22* 0.50 = 11 m

now the deceleration of the car is 10 m/s^2

so the distance that it will move before stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0^2 - 22^2 = 2*(-10)*d

d = 24.2 m

so the total distance that it require to stop is given as

d = 24.2 + 11 = 35.2 m

while the deer is standing at distance 38 m

so the car will stop 2.8 m before the position of deer

Assuming no air resistance, how far will a 0.0010 kg raindrop have fallen when it hits the ground 30.0 s later. Assume g = 9.8 m
Serga [27]
D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m

Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)

Un avión da "una vuelta mortal" de radio R = 500 m con una celeridad constante v = 360 km/h. Halla la fuerza ejercida por el asi
Airida [17]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Verá, durante el salto mortal, el piloto se mueve en una trayectoria circular y la fuerza que actúa sobre él es una fuerza centrípeta.

Sea la fuerza centrípeta F, la masa del piloto (m) = 70 Kg, el radio (r) = 500 my la velocidad (v) = 360 km / hr * 1000/3600 = 100 m / s

F = mv ^ 2 / r

F = 70 * (100) ^ 2/500

F = 1400 N

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus  and density related to velocity of sound

v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}

by rearranging the equation we can say

B = \rho * v^2

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2

so SI unit will be

B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus
