You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w

here the lumps collide and stick together. Just before the impact, the velocity of one lump was < 3, 3, -3 > m/s, and the velocity of the other lump was < -4, 0, -4 > m/s. What is the velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision

Answer:

\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

u_1 = Velocity of one lump = 3x+3y-3z

u_2 = Velocity of the other lump = -4x+0y-4z

m = Mass of each lump = 30\ \text{g}

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is \ \text{m/s}.

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J  

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J  

But  ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.
hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.
