A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 93.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.310 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.540 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 16.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown directly forward.

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s  

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s  

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605  kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605  kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s

An object 1,000 km above earths surface would accelerate
Verizon [17]

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of the gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The formula is ‘the change in velocity= gravity x time’ The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[1]
