Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple Law of Momentum Conservation problem of the inelastic type. The equation for this is

[m_1v_1+m_2v_2]_b=[(m_1+m_2)v]_a  Filling in:

[1200(4.5)+2100(0)]=[(1200+2100)v] which simplifies to

5400 + 0 = 3300v

so v = 1.6 m/s to the east, choice B

marin [14]
Let's assume that ground level is the height 0 meters. The change in potential energy is going to be gravitational potential energy, which is given by PE=mgh.
ΔPE=mgh-mgy
=mg(h-y)

A sanding disk with rotational inertia 1.2 10-3 kg·m2 is attached to an electric drill whose motor delivers a torque of 10 N·m a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Angular momentum = 0.7 kg.m²/s

Angular velocity = 583.3 rad/s

Explanation:

1. The torque τ  is related to the angular momentum L by the relation

τ = ΔL/Δt

ΔL = τΔt

τ = 10 N. m

Δt = 70 ms = 70 × 10⁻³s

ΔL = (10 N. m) × (70 × 10⁻³s) = 700 × 10⁻³ kg.m²/s = 0.7 kg.m²/s

2. The rotational inertia I relates the angular momentum L to the angular velocity w

L = Iw

w = L/I

L =  0.7 kg.m²/s

I = 1.2 × 10⁻³ kg.m²

w = (0.7 kg.m²/s)/(1.2 × 10⁻³ kg.m²) = 583.3 rad/s

A 615.00 kg race car is uniformly traveling around a circular race track. It takes the race car 20.00 seconds to do one lap arou
koban [17]

Answer:

The value is  f  =  0.05 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  =  615 \  kg

      The period of the circular motion is  T  =  20 \  s

      The radius  is r =  80 \  m/s

Generally the frequency of the circular motion is  

       f  =   \frac{1}{T }

=>    f  =   \frac{1}{ 20  }

=>    f  =  0.05 \ Hz

ale4655 [162]

m = 43.2 kg

Explanation:

volume of sphere = (4/3)pi(r)^3

= (4/3)(3.14)(2 m)^3

= 33.5 m^3

density = mass/volume

or solving for mass m,

m = (density)×(volume)

= (1.29 kg/m^3)(33.5 m^3)

= 43.2 kg

Suppose you wanted to break a meter stick over your knee. The cross-section of a meter stick is rectangular. Will it be easier t
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.

Explanation:

To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.
