Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.63636364 \ m/s}$

Explanation:

Velocity can be found using the following formula:

$v=\frac{p}{m}$

where p is the momentum and m is the mass.

The woman has a mass of 55 kilograms and a momentum of 200 kilogram meters per second.

$p= 200 \ kgm/s\\m=55 \ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=\frac{200 \ kg m/s}{55 \ kg}$

Divide. Note that the kilograms, or kg, will cancel each other out.

$v=\frac{200 \ m/s}{55}$

$v= 3.63636364 \ m/s$

The woman's velocity is 3.63636364 meters per second.

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> ( $a_{r}$ ) and <em>tangential</em> ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:
