Answer:

the phenomenon of the system supports the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum says that:

Initial Momentum = Final Momentum

So, first we calculate initial momentum of the system:

Initial Momentum = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

where,

m₁ = mass of car = 600 kg

m₂ = mass of van = 400 kg

u₁ = Initial Speed of Car

For initial speed of car, we use:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 m/s + (0.2 m/s²)(60 s)

Vf = u₁ = 12 m/s

u₂ = Initial Speed of Van = 0 m/s

Therefore,

Initial Momentum = (600 kg)(12 m/s) + (400 kg)(0 m/s)

Initial Momentum = 7200 Ns --------------- equation (1)

Now, for the final momentum:

Final Momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where,

v₁ = v₂ = Final Speed of Car and van (both are locked) = 7.2 m/s

Therefore,

Final Momentum = (600 kg)(7.2 m/s) + (400 kg)(7.2 m/s)

Final Momentum = 7200 Ns ------------- equation (2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2):

Initial momentum = Final Momentum

<u>Hence, the phenomenon of the system supports the principle of conservation of momentum.</u>

A puck of mass 0.70 kg approaches a second, identical puck that is stationary on frictionless ice. The initial speed of the movi

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

$v_1 = \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to remember conservation of momentum, as there are no external forces in the horizontal direction:

$\vec{p}_i = \vec{p}_f$

where the suffix i means initial, and the suffix f means final.

The initial momentum will be:

$\vec{p}_i = m_1 \ \vec{v}_{1_i} + m_2 \ \vec{v}_{2_i}$

as the second puck is initially at rest:

$\vec{v}_{2_i} = 0$

Using the unit vector $\vec{i}$ pointing in the original line of motion:

$\vec{v}_{1_i} = 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \hat{i}$

$\vec{p}_i = 0.70 \ kg \ 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \ \hat{i} + 0.70 \ kg \ 0$

$\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}$

So:

$\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = \vec{p}_f$

$\vec{p}_f = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}$

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

$\ \vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )$

So, our velocity vectors will be:

$\vec{v}_{1_f} = v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )$

$\vec{v}_{2_f} = v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )$

We got

$\vec{p}_f = 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{1_f} + 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{2_f}$

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ ) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )$

So, we got the equations:

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ cos(-60 \°)$

and

$0 = 0.7 \ kg \ v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$ .

From the last one, we get:

$0 = 0.7 \ kg \ ( v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°) )$

$0 = v_1 \ sin(30 \°) + \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$

$v_1 \ sin(30 \°) = - \ v_2 \ sin(-60 \°)$

$v_1 = \ v_2 \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }$

and, for the first one:

$4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} = 0.7 \ kg \ ( v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°) )$

$\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} = v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°)$

$\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} = v_1 \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = (\ v_2 \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \ cos(30 \°) + v_2 \ cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2 (\ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \ cos(30 \°) + cos(60 \°)$

$6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2 * 2$

so:

$v_2 = 6 \ \frac{m}{s} / 2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}$

and

$v_1 = \ 3 \frac{m}{s} \ \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }$

$v_1 = \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}$

2. Compare and Contrast A fault cuts through

Elenna [48]

Explanation:

The principle of cross-cutting relationships states that a fault or intrusion is younger than the rocks that it cuts through. The fault labeled "E" cuts through all three sedimentary rock layers (A, B,and C) and also cuts through the intrusion (D). So the fault must be the youngest formation that is seen and known of.

Answer:

Energy is essentially work done by an object or on object.

From,

W = Fd

It's directly proportional to mass.

from,

K. E = 1/2mv²

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

P. E = mgh

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

H = mc∆T

Energy is directly proportional to mass.

Thus increasing mass will increase the energy also imparted on another object since all the above eqns show that relationship.

And for 2 moving bodies

K.Ei = K.Ef(energy conservation)

m1u²1 + m2u²2 = m1v²1 + m2v²2

The relationship is the same that the greater mass the greater the impact.
