A 50-kg toboggan is coasting on level snow. As it passes beneath a bridge, a 20-kg parcel is dropped straight down and lands in

the toboggan. If KE1 is the original kinetic energy of the toboggan and KE2 is the kinetic energy after the parcel has been added, what is the ratio KE2/KE1

Answer:

KE2/KE1=0.71

Explanation:

By conservation of the linear momentum:

m1*V1 = (m1+m2)*V2

Solving for V2:

V2 = \frac{m1}{m1+m2}*V1

The kinetic energies are:

KE1=1/2*m1*V1^2

KE2 = 1/2*(m1+m2)*V2^2

KE2 = 1/2*(m1+m2)*(\frac{m1}{m1+m2}*V1)^2

Simplifying:

KE2 = 1/2*\frac{m1^2}{m1+m2}*V1^2

The ratio will be:

KE2/KE1=\frac{1/2*\frac{m1^2}{m1+m2}*V1^2}{1/2*m1*V1^2} =\frac{m1}{m1+m2}

KE2/KE1=0.71

the impact time for a particular collision is 3.0 × 10-3 seconds and the impulse in the collision is 0.30 newton seconds. what i
Zanzabum
There are several information's already given in the question. The answer can be easily deduced using those information's. 

Time = 3.0 * 10-3 seconds
Impulse = 0.30 newton
Then
Force = Impulse/Time
          = 0.30/3.0 * 10-3
          = 1 * 10^3 newtons.
I hope the above procedure is clear for you to understand and it has actually come to your great help.

What is escape velocity?
olga_2 [115]
<span>It is the lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Every planet has their own corresponding escape velocities. Example - Earth has escape velocity of 11.2 Km/s. It means, if you want to leave the Earth's gravitational field then it's the lowest speed which you need to acquire otherwise you wouldn't do that!

Hope this helps!</span>
