Given
Car 1
m1 = 1300 kg
v1 = 20 m/s
m2 = 900 kg
v2 = -15 m/s
(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)
Procedure
As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,
Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.
Answer:
12m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance walked westward = 2.8m
Time of travel = 5min
Distance walked eastward = 9.2m
Time of travel = 10min
Unknown:
The total shopper's travel distance = ?
Solution:
Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.
Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward
Total distance = 2.8m + 9.2m = 12m
To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation
.
or
Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.
Given, 
,
and 
.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.
Answer:
100years later
Explanation:
Because the lights will arrive at world after 100 years later.
Answer:
= 0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
- According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.
Therefore;<em> F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.</em>
<em>Thus; a = F/m</em>
<em>but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg</em>
<em> a = 5 /10</em>
<u>= 0.5 m/s²</u>
