A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing

Physics
1 answer:
aalyn [17]3 years ago

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar M=1.2\times10^3\ kg

velocity of racecar u=8\ m/s

mass of still honeybadger m=80\ kg

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of v_1=2\ m/s

conserving linear momentum

Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]

1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2

1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s

Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk that is slowing down at a constant rate. The ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surfac
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The two ladybugs have same rotational (angular) speed

Explanation:

The rotational (angular) speed of an object in circular motion is defined as:

\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

where

\theta is the angular displacement

t is the time interval considered

Here we have two ladybugs, which are located at two different distances from the axis. In particular, ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation. However, since they rotate together with the disk, and the disk is a rigid body, every point of the disk cover the same angle \theta in the same time t: this means that every point along the disk has the same angular speed, and therefore the two ladybugs also have the same angular speed.

On the other hand, the linear speed of the two ladybugs is different, because it follows the equation:

v=\omega r

where r is the distance from the axis: and since the two ladybugs are located at different r, they have different linear speed.

Calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the mean radius of the earth at
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg

Explanation:

We know that force acting on an object due to Earth's gravity on the surface is given by:

mg = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\\ \Rightarrow g = \frac{GM}{r^2}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, r would be radius of Earth, M is the mass of Earth and G is the gravitational constant.

It is given that at pole, g = 9.830 m/s² and r = 6371 km = 6371 × 10³ m

\Rightarrow M = \frac{g\times r^2}{G}

M = \frac{9.830 m/s^2 \times (6371 \times 10^3 m )^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}}

\Rightarrow M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg

Hence, Earth's mass is 5.98\times 10^{24} kg

The spring in the muzzle of a child's spring gun has a spring constant of 730 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the sprin
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a. V=11.84 m/s

b.x=0.052m

Explanation:

a).

Given

K=730 N/m,m=0.053kg, h=1.90m.

v_f^2=v_i^2+2*g*h

v_i^2=2*g*h=2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m

v_i=\sqrt{2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}=\sqrt{37.24 m^2/s^2}

v_i=6.1 m/s

v_i=V*sin(31)

V=\frac{v_i}{sin(31)}=\frac{6.1m/s}{sin(31)}

V=11.84 m/s

b).

K_k=\frac{1}{2}*K*x^2

No friction on the ball so:

x^2=\frac{2*K_k}{K}

x=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.053kg*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}{730N/m}}

x=\sqrt{2.7x10^{-3}m^2}=0.052m
