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

Two college teams, A and B, are playing a game of tug of war. Team A applies a force of 103 newtons, but the rope does not move
Kipish [7]
Given that the rope is not moving (acceleration is zero), by the second Law of Newton (F=m*a), the net force acting on the rope is zero.

Then, the force applied by the team B equals the force applied by the tema A: 103 N.

Jim stands beside a wide river and wonders how wide it is. he spots a large rock on the bank directly across from him. he then w
LuckyWell [14K]

To solve this problem, we must imagine that Jim’s initial position, the position of the rock, and Jim’s final position all connects to form a triangle. Now we can imagine that the triangle is a right triangle with the 90° angle on the initial position.

The angle of 30° is directly opposite to the length of his total stride while the width of the river is the side adjacent to the angle. Therefore can use the tan function to solve for the width of the river:

tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side

tan 30 = total stride distance / width of river

where total stride distance = 65 * 0.8 = 52 m

width of river = 52 m / tan 30

<span>width of river = 90.07 m</span>
