A 10 kg bear is running to the right at 10 m/s. He crashes into another 10 kg bear running to the left at -5 m/s. They collide a

nd stick together, and move on together at 2.5 m/s. Write at least 2 or 3 sentences explaining whether momentum was conserved in this situation.

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of  

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet

Time period of the pendulum is given as

T = \frac{t}{n}

T = \frac{128}{99}

T = 1.3 sec

Time period of the pendulum is also given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

1.3 = 2(3.14) \sqrt{\frac{0.53}{g}}

g = 12.4 m/s²
