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.

Hello, how to do qn 5?:)l
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Please see the attached picture for the full solution.

Since we are only concerned about the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the car, we look at the decrease in height of the car as it moves from point X to point Y, instead of the distance travelled by the car.

A student is running to catch the campus shuttle bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. The student is runnign at a constant spe
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 16.8 s

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Constant speed by which the student will run is given as

v = 5 m/s

now after some time if student is going to overtake the position of bus

so here the final positions will be same

so we have

x_{bus} = x_{student}

0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2 + d = v_{student} t

\frac{1}{2}(0.170)t^2 + 60 = 5 t

0.085 t^2 - 5t + 60 = 0

so it is

t = 16.8 s

So student will run the total distance

d = vt

d = (6)(16.8)

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

Speed of bus when student reach the bus is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (0.170)(16.8)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline =  40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe = \frac{40}{5}

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore  

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon
