A grocery shopper tosses a(n) 8.9 kg bag of

Physics
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
4 0

The final speed of the cart and the bag is 1.9 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore, we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 8.9 kg is the mass of the bag

u_1 = 5.7 m/s is the initial velocity of the bag

m_2 = 18.4 kg is the mass of the cart

u_2 = 0 is the initial velocity of the cart (which is stationary)

v is the final combined velocity of the cart with the bag

Re-arranging the equation and substituting, we find the final combined velocity (and speed):

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(8.9)(5.7)+0}{8.9+18.4}=1.9 m/s

Fl-19 in florida, if your pwc is equipped with an engine cut-off lanyard, what must you do with it?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Attach it to clothing, personal flotation device or the person's person.

Explanation:

This particular Question or problem has to do with the rules and regulations or laws governing the use of Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida in the United States of America. Hence, one of the rules that is applicable to the use of boats and waterways or the use of personal watercraft in Florida is that in florida, if ones pwc is equipped with an engine cut-off lanyard the person operating it must ATTACH IT TO THE CLOTHING, PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE IR THE OPERATORS' PERSON.

Another rule band the use of flammable personal flotation device with Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida. All this rules and guildlines are made to limit or minimize hazards.

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

In a uniform circular motion map, what is always true? Check all that apply.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Velocity vectors are always perpendicular to the circle.

Acceleration vectors point toward the center of the circle.

Velocity vectors are the same length.

Explanation:

(THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS BTW)

1) Acceleration and velocity are vectorial quantities, which means they have magnitude and direction.

2) In a circular motion velocity direction changes all the time, which means that it is accelerated.

3) In a uniform circular motiion, the velocity changes in a constant value. This is the rate of change of velocity, which is the magnitude of the acceleration, is constant (uniform).

4) The velocity is perpendicular to the path, i.e. the circle. You can see it if you think that if the object stopped changing the direction, then the object would follow a straight path (as per inertia principle). That is why this velocity is called tangential velocity (to differentiate it of the angular velocity).

This is what the option C says "Velocity vectors are always perpendicular to the circle". Then this is true.

5) The constant change of direction in a circular path, means that the object is been pushed, accelerated, toward the center of a circle. This is, all the time the object in motion tries to follow the perpendicular path but a push (a force) directed to the center of the circle changes its direction. Such force accelerates the object toward the center of the circle. So, the acceleration vectors point toward the center of the circle, which is what the option D says. So, this is also true.

6) Since the motion is uniform, the magnitude or length of the velocity vectors are always the same, are constant. So, the option E. is also true.

Please answer-WILL MARK THE BEST ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST (100 POINTS)
Masja [62]

Answer:

The Earth’s lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, is made up of a series of pieces, or tectonic plates, that move slowly over time.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Pacific Ring of Fire are two examples of divergent plate boundaries.

When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench. A chain of volcanoes often forms parallel to convergent plate boundaries and powerful earthquakes are common along these boundaries.

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions. Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating a linear fault valley or undersea canyon. Earthquakes are common along these faults. In contrast to convergent and divergent boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at transform margins, but is not created or destroyed.
