In an isolated system, bicycle 1 and bicycle 2, each with a mass of 15 kg, collide. bicycle 1 was moving to the right at 1 m/s,

while bicycle 2 was moving to the left at 3 m/s. what is the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash?

To do this, all you need to do is get the momentum of each and get the sum. The formula of momentum is:

p=mv

where:
p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

Bicycle 1 and 2 have the same mass of 15 kg

Bicycle 1 v = 1 m/s
Bicycle 2 v = 3 m/s but because it was coming from the opposite direction then we get a negative velocity. The negative just indicates the direction so it will be -3m/s

m1v1+m2v2

=(15kg)(1m/s) + (15kg)(-3m/s) 
= 15kg.m/s + (-45kg.m/s)
=-30kg.m/s

Their combined momentum before the crash is 30kg.m/s. We take out the negative sign because the question is asking only for the magnitude and not the direction and remember the negative sign indicates the direction.

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car  = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

now, equating both the distances

23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

t_2^2 = 15.143

    t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south
