Answer:  75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7  x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 =  200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\large {\boxed {F = ma }

<em>F = Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>a = Acceleration ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\large {\boxed {F = \Delta (mv) \div t }

<em>F = Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Velocity of Object ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = Time Taken ( s )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of lion = m₁ = 169 kg

velocity of lion = v₁ = 77.3 j km/hr

mass of gazelle = m₂ = 31.7 kg

velocity of gazelle = v₂ = 63.8 i km/hr

<u>Asked:</u>

final speed = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Conservation of Momentum</em><em> to solve the problem as follows:</em>

p_1 + p_2 = p

m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = ( m_1 + m_2 ) \overrightarrow{v}

169 ( 77.3 \widehat{j} ) + 31.7 ( 63.8 \widehat{i} ) = ( 169 + 31.7 ) \overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{v} \approx 65.1 \widehat{j} + 10.1 \widehat{i}

|\overrightarrow{v}| \approx \sqrt{65.1^2 + 10.1^2}

|\overrightarrow{v}| \approx 65.9 \texttt{ km/hr}

A construction worker dropped a brick from a high scaffolding. How fast was? a. How fast was the brick moving after 4.0 s of fal
Zigmanuir [339]
A) How fast was the brick moving after 4s?
Vf=?
Vi=0 (because it was dropped, not thrown)
A= -9.8m/s^2 (gravity)
t= 4s
Use the equation Vf=Vi+A(t)
Vf=0+(-9.8)(4)
Final answer: Vf= -39.2m/s
b) How far did the brick fall after 4s?
D=?
Vi=0
t=4s
A=-9.8m/s2
**You do have the final velocity, but it is best to avoid using numbers that you have calculated yourself.**
Use the equation: d=Vi(t)+0.5(A)(t)^2
d=(0)(4)+0.5(-9.8)(4)^2
d=(-4.9)(16)
d=-78.4m
Therefore, after 4s the brick fell 78.4m

3. A certain horizontal east-west lined wire has a mass of 0.2kg per meter of length and carries a current I. Impressed on the w
erica [24]

Answer:

i = 4.9 A

Explanation:

The expression for the magnetic force in a wire carrying a current is

          F = i L x B

bold letters indicate vectors.

The direction of the cable is towards the East, the direction of the magnetic field is towards the North, so the vector product is in the vertical direction (z-axis) upwards and the weight of the cable is vertical downwards. Let's apply the equilibrium condition

            F - W = 0

            i L B = m g

They indicate the linear density of the cable λ = 0.2 kg / m

           λ = m / L

           m = λ L

we substitute

           i B = λ g

           i = \frac{ \lambda \ g}{B}

let's calculate

          i = 0.2 9.8 / 0.4

          i = 4.9 A
