Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t

he collision, the new, combined cloud travels with a velocity of 0.25 m/s. What is the ratio of the masses of the two original clouds

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3

It takes 6 seconds for a stone to fall to the bottom of a mine shaft. how deep is the shaft
Margaret [11]
You need the kinematic equation for distance as a function of acceleration:

d = [v(initial) *t] + 0.5a*t^{2}

where a = gravitational acceleration 9.8m/s^{2}
v(initial) = starting velocity
t = time of fall

if the stone started at rest then v(initial) = 0 making the equation simply 0.5a * t^{2}

Let me know if you still need further help :)

A ferris wheel has a radius of 36 feet and completes one revolution every 5.4 minutes. what is the speed of the ferris wheel (in
KIM [24]
In order to find the speed per minute you will have to divide the two numbers together. You need to do 36/5.4 so the answer will be around 6.7 feet per minute.

A car traveling at 40 ft/sec decelerates at a constant 5 feet per second per second. how many feet does the car travel before co
Tema [17]
<span>This problem is solved by the equation of motion: x = x0 + v0*t + 1/2*a*t^2, Here x0 = 0, v0 = 40ft/sec and a = -5 ft/s^2, we need to solve for t: v = v0 + a*t, solve how long does it take to stop: 0 = v0 + a*t --> a*t = -v0 --> t = -v0/a -- > 40/5 = 8 seconds to stop. In this time, the car travels x = 0 + 40*8 + 0.5*-5*8^2 ft ~ 160 ft. Answer: The car travels 160 ft.</span>
