Two asteroids identical to those above collide at right angles and stick together; i.e, their initial velocities were perpendicu

lar to each other (take A initially moving to the right and B initially moving up). Use momentum conservation (make a complete Momentum Chart) to find the velocity (magnitude and direction with-respect-to the velocity asteroid A had before the collision) of the asteroids after the collision.

Answer:

velocity = 62.89 m/s  in 58 degree measured from the x-axis

Explanation:

Relevant information:

Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.

Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.

Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = $ 10^5$ kg - m/s in the right direction.

Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x $ 10^5$  kg - m/s in upward direction.

Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg

Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get

Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction = $ 10^5$

And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x $ 10^5$

So, $ V_x = \frac{10^5}{3000} $  = $ \frac{100}{3} $  m/s

and $ V_y=\frac{160}{3}$  m/s

Therefore, velocity is = $ \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} $

                                   = $ \sqrt{(\frac{100}{3})^2 + (\frac{160}{3})^2} $

                                   = 62.89 m/s

And direction is

tan θ = $ \frac{V_y}{V_x}$     = 1.6

therefore, $ \theta = \tan^{-1}1.6 $

                   = $ 58 ^{\circ}$  from x-axis

sergey [27]

Answer:

Time, t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 50 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).

Final velocity, v = 8 m/s

Force, F = 200 N

To find the time, we would use the following formula;

F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t}

Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;

t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200}

t = \frac {50*(8)}{200}

t = \frac {400}{200}

Time, t = 2 seconds

You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks
Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.
