An unnamed professor is walking to class when an office chair (travelling in the same direction) collides with them. The profess

or fails into the chair and remains in the chair after collision. The professor, with a mass of 113kg, is travelling at 1.56 m/s. The chair has a velocity of 6.5 m/s, and a mass of 10kg. After the collision, and ignoring any effects of professor falling, what would be the speed of the chair professor system

Answer: 1.96 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of Professor m_1=113\ kg

Velocity of professor u_1=1.56\ m/s

mass of chair m_2=10\ kg

velocity of chair u_2=6.5\ m/s

Suppose  after the collision, v is the common velocity

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{113\times 1.56+10\times 6.5}{113+10}=\dfrac{241.28}{123}\\\\\Rightarrow v=1.96\ m/s

What is the velocity of an object that has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg? Round to the nearest hundredth.
julia-pushkina [17]
<h2>Answer: 34.78 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum p is given by the following equation:

p=m.V   (1)

Where:

m is the mass of the object

V is the velocity of the object

Finding the velocity from (1):

V=\frac{p}{m}   (2)

V=\frac{4000kg.m/s}{115kg}  

<u>Finally:</u>

V=34.78m/s >>>This is the velocity of the object

Answer:

Multiplexer

Explanation:

-In electronics, a multiplexer, also known as a data, is a device that selects between several analog or digital input signals and forwards it to a single output line.

-This device combines multiple circuits at one end of a connection into a single complex circuit on a single wire.

-The selected signals is then transmitted at a higher speed.
