Answer:
a = 0.3 m/s²
Explanation:
Given: 45 N, 150 kg
To find: a
Formula:
Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight
A = F ÷ m
= 45 ÷ 150
= 0.3 m/s²
Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.
Answer:
14.47 m/s
Explanation:
The momentum must be preserved before and after the collision:
The total momentum before the collision
where are the masses of the car moving south and north, respectively, before the collision.
is the velocity of the car moving South. We take the velocity to the North as the positive direction
The total momentum after the collision
where V = 5.22m/s is the velocity of both cars after the collision
We can equalize the 2 equations and plug in the numbers:
