a 62.0 kg curler runs into a stationary 78.1 kg curler and they hold on to each other. Together they move away at 1.29 m/s, west

. What was the original velocity of the 62.0 kg curler?

Momentum P is given by:
P = mv

Given: m₁ = 62 kg, m₂ = 78.1 kg, v₁ = ?, v₂ = 0 m/s, v₁₊₂ = 1.29 m/s

before:
P = m_1 v_1 * m_2 v_2 = m_1 v_1

after:
P = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}

Since momentum is conserved, the momentum before the collision must be equal to the momentum after the collision.

P = m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2} \\ v_1 =  \frac{(m_1 + m_2)v_{1+2}}{m_1}

Solve for v₁.

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

v_x=34 m/s

v_y=53.9\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

v_x=34 m/s

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9

v_y=53.9\ m/s
