Conservation of Momentum Practice

Physics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]2 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

Why do astronomers use the word on to describe angles on the sky rather than angles in the sky?
Sever21 [200]
<span>The use of the word on instead of the word in when referring to the angular distance between celestial objects comes about because all of the objects appear to be on the celestial sphere and at an indeterminable distance. While we know that objects are at different distances in the sky, their distance from Earth is irrelevant in determining the angular distance between the two objects as viewed from Earth.</span>
