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

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

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

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

What is the difference between a mineral and a rock

Sedbober [7]

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

Objects with masses of 120 kg and a 420 kg are separated by 0.380 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objec

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$F_{net} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of first object, m = 120 kg

Mass of second object, m' = 420 kg

Mass of the third object, M = 69.0 kg

Distance between the m and m', d = 0.380 m

Now,

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m:

$F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}$

$F = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 120\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7}\ N$

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m':

$F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}$

$F' = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 420\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 5.35\times 10^{- 7}\ N$

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m and m':

$F_{net} = F + F'$

$F_{net} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7} + 5.35\times 10^{- 7} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N$

Fan can accelerate from the starting blocks to running 11m/s down the track in 5 seconds. What is her acceleration?

Firdavs [7]

To answer this question we subtract the initial velocity from her final velocity. On the starting blocks the initial velocity was 0 m/s. Her final velocity was 11 m/s.t = 11m/s - 0 m/s, so the change in velocity is 11m/s. Time was 5 seconds.Plug it into the formula: 11 m/s ÷ 5 s= 2.2 m/s<span>2</span>
