The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

What is the momentum of a 0.000015 kg mosquito flying straight at you with a velocity of 5.20 m/s?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Momentum, p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a mosquito, m = 0.000015 kg

Velocity of the mosquito, v = 5.2 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the mosquito. The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Put all the values in the above formula.

p=0.000015\ kg\times 5.2\ m/s\\\\p=0.000078\ N-m\\\\\text{or}\\\\p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m

So, the momentum of the mosquito is 7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m.

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

A 6,600 kg train car moving at +2.0 m/s bumps into and locks together with one of mass 5,400 kg moving at -3.0 m/s.
Katarina [22]
Option B would be right one
according to momentum conservation
6600*2 = 13200kgm/s
5400*3 = 16200kgm/s
16200-13200 = 3000
now 6600-5400 = 1200 kg
thus 3000/1200 = 2.5 v

A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn
xenn [34]

Answer:

T = 2010 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg

Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as

W = mg

W = 150 x 9.8

W = 1470 N

T = Tension force in the wire

θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal =  47° deg

L = length of the beam

From the figure,

AC = L

BC = L/2

From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C

T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)

T L Sin47 = W (L/2)

T Sin47 = W/2

T Sin47 = 1470

T = 2010 N

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain
IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f

where :

K_i = 0 is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

U_i = mgh is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

U_f = 0 is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation,  we find

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

and we have:

g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m
