Answer:

zero

Explanation:

For the box remaining at rest, the total acceleration on the box must be zero. Since force F = m*a, the force F must also be zero.

a 3 kg piece of putty that is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides and sticks to an 8 kg bowling ball that was at rest. wha

defon

The final velocity is 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 3 kg$ is the mass of the putty

$u_1 = 10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the putty (we take its direction as positive direction)

$m_2 = 8 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_2 = 0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball (at rest)

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the two putty+ball

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the final combined velocity:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(3)(10)+0}{3+8}=2.7 m/s$

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the putty.

Stand next to a wall that travels at 30 km/s relative to the Sun. With your feet on the ground, you also travel at the same 30 k

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Yes. Inertia keeps the speed maintained though my feet leave the ground.

Explanation:

Inertia is the resistance to the change in position of any object this means this resistance will keep me traveling at 30 km/s relative to the sun. If the person wants to change the position we apply force to do that because inertia is opposing us to not do that. We are always traveling with 30km/s relative to sun due to inertia.

A coin is thrown with a velocity of 0 m/s down a dry well and hits bottom in 1.2s, what’s the depth of the well?

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

Explanation:

The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+d_0$

where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:

$d = \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}9.8\frac{m}{s^2}1.2^2s^2=7.1m$
