Answer:

M = 250kg

Explanation:

Ft = M x V

Where ft = momentum

M = mass

V = velocity

Given

Ft = 125,000 kgm/s

V = 500m/s

Therefore

125000 = M x 500

Divide both sides by 500

125000/500 = M x 500/500

250 = M

M = 250kg

You are coasting on your 12-kg bicycle at 13 m/s and a 5.0-g bug splatters on your helmet. The bug was initially moving at 1.5 m
Brut [27]

Answer:

a) Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s

b) Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

c) ΔV = - 0.0007 m/s

d) ΔV = - 0.0008 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the bicycle, mc = 12 kg

- The mass of passenger, mp = 70 kg

- The mass of the bug, mb = 5.0 g

- The initial speed of the bicycle, vpi = 13 m/s

- The initial speed of the bug, vbi = 1.5 m/s

Find:-

a.What is the initial momentum of you plus your bicycle?

b.What is the initial momentum of the bug?

c.What is your change in velocity due to the collision the bug?

d.What would the change in velocity have been if the bug were traveling in the opposite direction?

Solution:-

- First we will set our one dimensional coordinate system, taking right to be positive in the direction of bicycle.

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,c) of the passenger and the bicycle would be:

                       Pi,c = vpi* ( mc + mp)

                       Pi,c = 13* ( 12+ 70 )

                       Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s  

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,b) of the bug would be:

                       Pi,b = vbi*mb

                       Pi,b = 0.005*1.5

                       Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

- We will consider the bicycle, the passenger and the bug as a system in isolation on which no external unbalanced forces are acting. This validates the use of linear conservation of momentum.

- The bicycle, passenger and bug all travel in the (+x) direction after the bug splatters on the helmet.

                       Pi = Pf

                       Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)

Where,    V : The velocity of the (bicycle, passenger and bug) after collision.

                      1066 + 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1066.0075 / 82.005

                      V = 12.9993 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.9993 =  - 0.00070 m/s      

- If the bug travels in the opposite direction then the sign of the initial momentum of the bug changes from (+) to (-).

- We will apply the linear conservation of momentum similarly.

                      Pi = Pf

                      Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)        

                      1066 - 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1065.9925 / 82.005

                      V = 12.99911 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.99911 =  -0.00088 m/s

True/False: If an object stays still, but the observer moves, the Doppler Effect is still observered
Vladimir79 [104]

Well, Harry, what you said is not necessarily true the way you said it. 
But we know what you mean, and what you meant to say is true.

The Doppler effect is observed if there is relative radial motion
between an object and an observer <em><u>AND</u></em> if the object happens
to be putting out sound or light in the observer's direction.
