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

Write the equation that links current, potential difference, and resistance
mrs_skeptik [129]

You can write the equation in 3 different ways, depending on which quantity you want to be the dependent variable.  Any one of the three forms can be derived from either of the other two with a simple algebra operation.  They're all the same relationship, described by "Ohm's Law".

==> Current = (potential difference) / (resistance)

==> Potential difference = (current) x (resistance)

==> Resistance = (potential difference) / (resistance)

: A honeybucket man is carrying his load. He has a pole 2 m long with a bucket hanging from each end. The buckets have a mass of
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment, assuming the rod is uniform rod of mass 1 kg

the center of mass of the rod will be at 1 m

assuming the system is in equilibrium,

clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment

let the distance of the man shoulder be x from the center of gravity and also is the pivot point

total mass of bucket + mass of honey = 2kg + 3 kg =  5 kg for rear bucket and

2kg + 5 kg = 7 kg for front bucket

( 5kg × ( 1+x)) + ( 1 kg × x) = 7 kg × ( 1 - x)

5 + 5 x + x = 7 - 7x

5 + 6x = 7 - 7x

6x + 7x = 7 - 5

13x = 2

x = 2 / 13 = 0.154 m

the honeybucket man's shoulder is 0.154 m from the center of the pole ( forward ).

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s
