A 1250-kg compact car is moving with velocity v1 =36.2i^+12.7j^m/s. It skids on a frictionless icy patch and collides with a 448

-kg hay wagon moving with velocity v2=13.8i^+10.2j^m/s.
If the two stay together, what is their velocity?

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the separate momenta of the car and wagon is equal to the momentum of the combined system:

(1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s) = ((1250 + 448) kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the system. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = ((1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s)) / (1698 kg)

<em>v</em> ≈ (30.3 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) m/s

A motorcycle is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the motorcycle accelerates to a speed of 91 km/h over a
zimovet [89]

Given :

Initial speed , u = 0 m/s .

Final speed , v = 91 km/h = 25.28 m/s .

To Find :

a) Average acceleration .

b ) Assuming the motorcycle maintained a constant acceleration, how far is it from the traffic light after 3.3 s .

Solution :

a )

We know ,by equation of motion :

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{25.28^2-0^2}{2\times 47}\ m/s^2\\\\a=6.8\ m/s^2

b)

Also , by equation of motion :

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=0+\dfrac{6.8\times (3.3)^2}{2}\ m\\\\s=37.02\ m

Hence , this is the required solution .

Thing 1 and Thing 2 push with a force of 2000 N to move a rather small 500 kg elephant 30 m across the kitchen floor. How much w
Amanda [17]

Answer:

60000 J

Explanation:

Assuming the force is applied parallel to the displacement of the elephant, the work done to move it across the floor is

W=Fd

where

F = 2000 N is the force applied

d = 30 m is the displacement of the elephant

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

W=(2000 N)(30 m)=60,000 J

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m
