m = mass of Mr. Ure = 65 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of earth's gravity on Mr. Ure is given as

F = mg

F = 65 x 9.8

F = 637 N

F = force of gravity on car = 3050 N

m = mass of the car = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of gravity on car is given as

F = mg

3050 = m (9.8)

m = 3050/9.8

m = 311.22 kg

m = mass of Mr. Rees = 90 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

force of earth's gravity on Mr. Rees is given as

F = mg

F = 90 x 9.8

F = 882 N

Consider a system to be one train car moving toward another train car at rest. When the trains collide, the two cars stick toget

pickupchik [31]

As per the question, the system consists of two cars.

The the masses of two cars are denoted as- $m_{1} \ and\ m_{2} \ respectively$

The two cars undergoes collision with each other. Here collision must be inelastic in nature.

Let the velocities of each car is denoted as- $v_{1} \ and\ v_{2} \ respectively$

It is given that masses of two cars and initial velocities-

$m_{1} =600 kg$ $v_{1} =4m/s$

$m_{2} = 400kg$ $v_{2} =0 m/s$

First we have to calculate the total momentum of the system before collision.

The momentum of a body is the product of its mass with velocity.

Momentum of car 1:

$p_{1} =m_{1} v_{1}$

$=600kg*4m/s$

$=2400\ kg\ m\ s^-1$

The momentum of car 2:

$p_{2} =m_{2} v_{2}$

$=400\ kg*0\ m/s$

$=\ 0\ kg\ m\ s^-1$

Now the total momentum of the system is :

$p_{1} +p_{2}$

$=[2400+0]\ kg\ m\ s^-1$

$=2400\ kg\ m\ s^-1$

Now we are asked to calculate the total momentum of the system after collision.

The basic condition in case of any type of collision is that it is in accordance with law of conservation of linear momentum.

Hence, the momentum will be conserved here.

It means the total momentum before collision must be equal to the total momentum after collision.

Hence, the correct answer to the question will be 2400 kg m/s.

ListenA bicycle and its rider have a combined mass of 80. kilograms and a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude

Setler [38]

Answer:

a) $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-6}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bicycle and rider is -1.5 m/s²

Force

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=80\times -1.5\\\Rightarrow F=-120\ N=-1.2\times 10^2\ N$

The magnitude of the average force needed to bring the bicycle and its rider to a stop is $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

1. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott

Kobotan [32]

0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s

The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s

7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s is the motmentum of the ball now

the velocity is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s
