A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

12 kg. Assuming the child rides on the cart after the collision, find the speed of the child and shopping cart just after the child jumps on. show all work please

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

Chintu and raven build a roccket, which moved from the earth to about 86m into the shy. It tales 3.7 seconds to reach the rocket
vaieri [72.5K]

   Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)..

From the ground to the highest point,
the rocket's AVERAGE speed is

                     (86 m) / (3.7 sec)  =  23.2 m/s  (rounded) .

Help with this. <br><br><br><br><br><br> ....
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

The x component is the adjacent side making up the given angle (39.4)

The vector is the hypotenuse.

The definition of the cos (x) is adjacent / hypotenuse.

cos(39.4) = adjacent / 47.3      Multiply both sides by 47.3

47.3 * cos(39.4) = adjacent      Cos(39.4) = 0.7727

adjacent = 36.55

In what fundamental way did the work of Galileo differ from his predecessors who had thought about the sky?
kompoz [17]

Answer: The correct answer is:

Galileo used instruments and experiments to show him what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic

Explanation:

Galileo can be considered as one of the precursors of experimentation and the scientific method. A method that doesn't rely on "common sense" and rationalization and logic, but instead is fuelled by a disposition of skepticism and rather makes claims about reality based on experimentation and empirical data shows.

Galileo differed from his predecessors because he actually used and developed instruments and method to reliable measure and observe what nature was doing, instead of relying on pure logic.

What is the product of an object’s mass and velocity? momentum net force kinetic energy
kaheart [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.

It is a term which describes the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Momentum can be represented in the form of an equation as:

P = mv

where P is the momentum,

m is the mass of the object; and v is the velocity of that object.
