Conservation of Momentum Practice

Physics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Before: 0 m/s  

After: -4 m/s

Explanation:

Before: Since you and your beau started at rest, your beau initial velocity is 0 m/s.

After: Since we have to conserve momentum,

momentum before push = momentum after push.

The momentum before push = 0 (since you and your beau are at rest)

momentum after push = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ were m₁ = your mass = 60 kg, v₁ = your velocity after push = 3 m/s, m₂ = beau's mass = 45 kg and v₂ = beau's velocity.

So, m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = 0

m₁v₁ = -m₂v₂

v₂ = -m₁v₁/m₂ = -60 kg × 3 m/s ÷ 45 kg = -4 m/s

So beau moves with a velocity of 4 m/s in the opposite direction

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
kifflom [539]
Based on the law of conservation of energy, we know that we can't create energy, machines can only convert one type of energy into another. So, if we want to improve a machines's ability then we need to reduce it's loss energy (part of energy which is useless). Out of all the options only Option C fits best with it.

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?
NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%

What happens to the mechanical energy of an apple as it falls from a tree?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

When the apple falls from the tree, it has some gravitational potential energy due to its height. Now, When it starts falling, the Gravitation Potential energy will starts converting into the Kinetic Energy. When the apple is about to strikes the ground, the Gravitational Potential energy have been converted into the Kinetic Energy.

Compared to energy-flow in ecosystems, the flow of matter ________.
disa [49]
Compared to energy-flow in ecosystems, the flow of matter <span>reflects conservation and recycling.
For example, let's take a look at the food chain system. Every time an organism is consumed by another organism, the energy that is given to the eater is only about 10% of the total existing energy

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?
tresset_1 [31]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.
