6 0

Answer:

Tilted forward to keep the driest.

Explanation:

The rain is falling vertically so there is no wind. In these circumstances the umbrella should be tilted vertically forward.

The situation is the same as if you would stand still and the rain would come under an angle from the front.

a ball of mass 0.80 kg moving at a speed of 2.5 m/s along a straight line collided with a mass 2.5 kg which was initially statio
Likurg_2 [28]

The speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the ball, m₁ = 0.8 kg
  • speed of the ball, u₁ = 2.5 m/s
  • mass of the object at rest, m₂ = 2.5 kg
  • final velocity of the object at rest, v₂ = 1 m/s

Let the final velocity of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

(0.8 x 2.5) + (2.5 x 0) = (0.8)v₁  +  2.5(1)

2 = 2.5 + (0.8)v₁

-0.5 = (0.8)v₁

v_1 = \frac{-0.5}{0.8} \\\\v_1 = -0.625 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.
