115 divided by 2 equals 57.5
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
The net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.
<h3>Net force acting on the crate</h3>
The net force acting on the crate is calculated as follows;
∑F = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4
F(net) = -440y + 176x + 440y - 352x
F(net) = -176 x
The resultant force is pointing in negative x direction.
Thus, the net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.
