During a collision, a bus runs into a skateboarder inelastically. If the mass of the skateboarders is 70 kg and is moving at 12

m/s to the right, what is the final velocity of the skateboarder if the 2000 kg bus is traveling at 25 m/s to the left before the collision?

The final velocity of the skateboarder is 23.75 m/s.

We can use conservation of momentum to calculate the magnitude of the final velocity.

Momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v

here, v is final velocity of the skateboarder, assuming right side velocity as positive, and left side velocity as negative.

70*12+2000*(-25)=(70+2000)v

v=-23.75 m/s

Here, negative sign indicates that both skyboarder and bus will move in left direction.

a sphere of diameter 6•0cm is moulded into a thin uniform wire of diameter 0•2mm.calculate the length of the wire in metres

Scilla [17]

The length of the wire is 36 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given, Diameter of sphere = 6 cm

We know that, radius can be found by taking the half in the diameter value. So,

$\text { sphere radius, } R=\frac{D}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3 \mathrm{cm}=3 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}$

Similarly,

$\text { wire radius, } r=\frac{0.2}{2}=0.1 \mathrm{mm}=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}$

We know the below formulas,

$\text {volume of sphere}=\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times R^{3}$

$\text {volume of wire}=\pi \times r^{2} \times l$

When equating both the equations, we can find length of wire as below, where $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$

$\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times R^{3}=\pi \times r^{2} \times l$

$\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(3 \times 10^{-2}\right)^{3}=\frac{22}{7} \times\left(1 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2} \times l$

The $\pi$ value gets cancelled as common on both sides, we get

$\frac{4}{3} \times 27 \times 10^{-6}=10^{-6} \times l$

The $10^{-6}$ value gets cancelled as common on both sides, we get

$l=4 \times 9=36 m$

Gyroscopic wander can be divided in to two categories, one is DRIFT, what is the other?

Tju [1.3M]

Gyroscopic wander can be divided into two categories and these are:

Drift
Topple

<h3>What is gyroscopic wander?</h3>

Gyroscopic wander can be defined as a movement of the spin axis (axis of rotation) away from a specific fixed direction.

Based on scientific information and records, there are two main types of gyroscopic wander and these include the following:

Drift

Topple

A car is traveling at 108 km/h, stuck behind a slower car. Finally the road is clear and the car pulls over to make a pass. The

mezya [45]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the car is 2.143 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let assume that car accelerates uniformly, in that case, we can obtain the value of acceleration by using the following equation of motion:

$v = v_{o}+a\cdot t$

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Now, we clear acceleration within expression:

$a = \frac{v-v_{o}}{t}$

Initial and final velocities are now converted from kilometers per hour into meters per second:

$v_{o} = \left(108\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v_{o} = 30\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v = \left(135\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\cdot \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v = 37.5\,\frac{m}{s}$

If we know that $t = 3.5\,s$ , then, the average acceleration of the car is:

$a = \frac{37.5\,\frac{m}{s}-30\,\frac{m}{s} }{3.5\,s}$

$a = 2.143\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The average acceleration of the car is 2.143 meters per square second.
