Explanation:

a) Given in the y direction (taking down to be positive):

Δy = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 3.2 s

b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 12 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 3.2 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (12 m/s) (3.2 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.2 s)²

Δx = 38 m

Two astronauts are floating together with zero speed in a gravity-free region of space. The mass of astronaut A is 110 kg and th

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The recoil speed of Astronaut A is 0.26 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut A, $m_A=110\ kg$

Mass of astronaut B, $m_B=74\ kg$

Astronaut A pushes B away, with B attaining a final speed of 0.4, $v_B=0.4\ m/s$

We need to find the recoil speed of astronaut A. The momentum remains conserved here. Using the law of conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_Av_A=m_Bv_B\\\\v_A=\dfrac{m_Bv_B}{m_A}\\\\v_A=\dfrac{74\times 0.4}{110}\\\\v_A=0.26\ m/s$

So, the recoil speed of Astronaut A is 0.26 m/s.

A 2 kg blue car is moving 6 m/s to the right and collides with a 3 kg red car that is moving 2 m/s to the left. The cars collide

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.
