The correct answer to the question is : The ostrich is motion.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the momentum of ostrich P = 5400 Kg. Km/hr.

The mass of the ostrich m = 120 Kg.

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of mass with velocity.

Mathematically P = mv.

The velocity of the ostrich v is calculated as -

                                           v = \frac{P}{m}

                                              = \frac{5400}{120}\ Km/hr

                                              = 45 Km/hr

Hence, the ostrich is in motion as it is moving with a velocity of 45 Km/hr.

As
   momentum=5,400kg*km/hr
   mass=120kg
   momentum=mass*velocity
   velocity=45km/hr or 12.5ms^-1
    so ostrich is moving with 12.5ms^-1

Calculate the force exerted by a mental ball having a mass of 70kg moving with speed of 20m/s>2
lord [1]

Answer:

F = 1400 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 70 kg

It is moving with an acceleration of 20 m/s². We need to find the force exerted by the ball.

Force is given by the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F = ma

F=70\ kg\times \ 20m/s^2\\\\F=1400\ N

So, the force of 1400 N is exerted by a metal ball.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.
klio [65]
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
c=f \lambda
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}=  2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m

A 2 kg blue car is moving 6 m/s to the right and collides with a 3 kg red car that is moving 2 m/s to the left. The cars collide
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.
