Velocity is calculated by distance and time

v = d/t
v = 8m/4s
v = 2 m/s

It's velocity is 2 meters per second

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

   = (8 m) / (4 s)

   = ( 8 / 4 ) m/s

   = 2 m/s .

That 's the toy car's speed. We can't tell its velocity,
since we have no information about its direction.

One object (m1 = 0.220 kg) is moving to the right with a speed of 2.10 m/s when it is struck from behind by another object (m2 =

blagie [28]

Answer:

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s , to the right

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

Explanation:

Theory of collisions

Linear momentum is a vector magnitude (same direction of the velocity) and its magnitude is calculated like this:

p=m*v

where

p:Linear momentum

m: mass

v:velocity

There are 3 cases of collisions : elastic, inelastic and plastic.

For the three cases the total linear momentum quantity is conserved:

P₀ = Pf Formula (1)

P₀ :Initial linear momentum quantity

Pf : Final linear momentum quantity

Data

m₁= 0.220 kg : mass of object₁

m₂= 0.345 kg : mass of object₂

v₀₁ = 2.1 m/s ₁ , to the right : initial velocity of m₁

v₀₂= 6 m/s, to the right i :initial velocity of m₂

Problem development

We appy the formula (1):

P₀ = Pf

m₁*v₀₁ + m₂*v₀₂ = m₁*vf₁ + m₂*vf₂

We assume that the two objects move to the right at the end of the collision, so, the sign of the final speeds is positive:

(0.22)*(2.1) + (0.345)*(6) = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*vf₂ Equation (1)

Because the shock is elastic, the coefficient of elastic restitution (e) is equal to 1.

$e= \frac{v_{f2}-v_{f1} }{v_{o1} -v_{o2} }$

1*(v₀₁ - v₀₂ ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

(2.1 - 6 ) = (vf₂ -vf₁)

-3.9 = (vf₂ -vf₁)

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9

vf₂ = vf₁ - 3.9 Equation (2)

We replace Equation (2) in the Equation (1)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)*( vf₁ - 3.9)

2.532 = (0.22)*vf₁ +(0.345)* (vf₁) -(0.345)( 3.9)

2.532 + 1.3455 = (0.565)*vf₁

3.8775 = (0.565)*vf₁

vf₁ = (3.8775) / (0.565)

vf₁ = 6.86 m/s, to the right

We replace vf₁ = 6.86 m/s in the Equation (2)

vf₂ = 6.86 - 3.9

vf₂ = 2.96 m/s, to the right

A car starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 meters per second per second. How fast will it be going in 5 seconds?

irinina [24]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s

Solving for the average velocity. avg v

avg v = (vo + v) / 2

avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2

avg v = 6 m / s

Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s

d = avg v * t

d = 6 m / s * 3 s

d = 18 meters

In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

A brick in the shape of a cube with sides 10 cm has a density of 2500 kg/m^3. What is its weight? a.) 250 N

Arisa [49]

Answer:

c.) 25 N

Explanation:

We find the volume of the brick, knowing that the volume of a cube is given by the formula:

$l=0,1 metros \\V=l^{3}\\V=(0,1\: \: m)^{3}=0,001\: \: m^{3}$

being l the side of the cube, which in this case is 10 cm or 0,1 m. Now we find the mass of the object, knowing the density and the Volume of the cube:

$m=V*d\\m=(0,001 \:\:m^{3})(2500 \: \: \frac{Kg}{m^{3}})=2,5 \:\: Kg$

We find the weight by multiplying the mass of the object with the gravity constant.

$W=m*g=(2.5 \:Kg)*(9,81 \:m/s^{2} )=24,5 N\approx25\: N$
