Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh

ile the second was traveling in a southeastern direction at an angle ϕ with respect to the east-west direction and at a speed v. After the collision, the two-car system travels in a northeastern direction at an angle θ with respect to the north-south direction and at a speed vfinal.
Find v_final, the speed of the joined cars after the collision.

Answer:u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )

2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

mvcos\phi =2musin\theta-----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2

4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi

4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi

u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }

1) A 1,600 kilogram car is also traveling in a straight line. Its momentum is 32,500 kg*m/s. What is the
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

v = 20.31 m/s

Explanation:

p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s

For a top player, a tennis ball may leave the racket on the serve with a speed of 55 m/s (about 120 mi/h). If the ball has a mas
inn [45]

Answer:

Yes is large enough

Explanation:

We need to apply the second Newton's Law to find the solution.

We know that,

F= ma

And we know as well that

a= \frac{v}{t}

Replacing the aceleration value in the equation force we have,

F= \frac{mv}{t}

Substituting our values we have,

F= \frac{(0.060)(55)}{4*10^{-3}}

F=825N

The weight of the person is then,

W = mg

W = (60)(9.8) = 558N

<em>We can conclude that force on the ball is large to lift the ball</em>

A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be in-
Leto [7]

Answer:

t = 39.60 s

Explanation:

Let's take a careful look at this interesting exercise.

In the first case the two motors apply the force in the same direction

            F = m a₀          

           a₀ = F / m

with this acceleration it takes t = 28s to travel a distance, starting from rest

           x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

           x = ½ a₀ t²

           t² = 2x / a₀

           28² = 2x /a₀          (1)

in a second case the two motors apply perpendicular forces

we can analyze this situation as two independent movements, one in each direction

           

in the direction of axis a, there is a motor so its force is F/2

               

the acceleration on this axis is

          a = F/2m

          a = a₀ / 2

so if we use the distance equation

             x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as part of rest v₀ = 0

             x = ½ (a₀ / 2) t²

             

let's clear the time

             t² = (2x / a₀)  2

we substitute the let of equation 1

             t² = 28² 2

             t = 28 √2

             t = 39.60 s
