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

1) Beth rode the Flying Saucer ride at her favorite amusement park. The ride hung from a rod and swung back and forth while simu
quester [9]

#1

Since Beth rode the Flying saucer ride which is spinning on its axis while axis is moving to and fro as well, so here Beth will experience two motions in this case

(i) Spinning motion

(ii) Rotational motion

#2

Jill and Scott both traveled for 30 min

So time of motion for both is 0.5 h as we know that 1 h = 60 min

Now from the formula of speed we know that

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed of Jill

v_1 = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 km/h

speed of Scott

v_2 = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 km/h

so correct answer is

B) Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.

#3

Since we know that <em>acceleration is rate of change in velocity</em>

So here we can say that every motion where velocity changes with time then it is an accelerated motion.

Now change in velocity occurs when either the magnitude will change or its direction will change because here velocity is a vector quantity and it will change with magnitude and direction both.

so here due to oval path the direction of velocity will changes at many points and hence it will be an accelerated motion.

so correct answer is

<em>C) James was right since the car changed direction during the race.</em>

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.

A car of mass 1000 kg is moving at 25 m/s. It collides with a car of mass 1200 kg moving at 30 m/s. When the cars collide, they
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The total momentum of the cars before the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The velocity of the cars after the collision is 27.727 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first car, m₁ = 1000 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s

mass of the second car, m₂ = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the second car, u₂ = 30 m/s

The common velocity of the cars after collision = v

The total momentum of the cars before collision is calculated as;

P₁ = m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂

P₁ = (1000 x 25)  +  (1200 x 30)

P₁ = 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after collision is calculated as;

P₂ = m₁v + m₂v

where;

v    is the common velocities of the cars after collision since they stick together.

P₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

To determine "v" apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂  = v(m₁  + m₂)

(1000 x 25)  +  (1200 x 30) = v(1000 + 1200)

61,000 = 2,200v

v = 61,000/2,200

v = 27.727 m/s

The total momentum after collsion = v(m₁ + m₂)

                                                         = 27.727(1000 + 1200)

                                                          = 61,000 kg.m/s

Thus, momentum before and after collsion are equal.
