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

What is the net force required to accelerate a 884 kg car at 2 m/sec2?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

1768 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a car of mass

m = 884 kg

And its acceleration is

a=2 m/s^2

Substituting into the equation, we find the net force on the car:

F=(884)(2)=1768 N

Is it true or false that A proton traveling to the right moves in between the two large plates. A vertical electric field, point
Lelu [443]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In the question it is given that a proton travels in the right moves in between the two plates. An electric field that is pointing in the vertically upward direction has magnitude of 3 N/C. The electric field is produced by the plates.

Now from here we can conclude that the direction of the force acting on the proton when the proton is in between the plates acts in the downward direction. While the electric field lines points in the upward direction. Thus the electric point will not be in the direction of the force that acts on the proton.
