This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut
Answer:
I = 0.2 A
Explanation:
Lamp is rated at 300 mA
I_lamp = 0.3 A
Voltage is; V = 3V
Thus; Resistance is given by;
R = V/I
R = 3/0.3
R = 10 ohms
Now, since the ammeter of 5 ohms is connected in series with the lamp. Thus equivalent resistance;
R_eq = 10 + 5
R_eq = 15 ohms
Ammeter current will be;
I = V/R_eq
I = 3/15
I = 0.2 A
Answer:
<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum
</u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:
If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:
Since the total momentum is conserved, then:
P = P'
In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:
If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:
The common velocity after this situation is:
The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:
The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
Answer:
After 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car
Explanation:
Let the time for the green car to catch up with the blue car be T
When the green car catches up to the blue car, the distances covered by each car after time T will be equal. Also, their velocities at that instant will be equal
Distance covered by blue car after time T is given by: s = ut + 0.5 at²
Where u = 0, a = 0.2 m/s², t = T
S = 0.5 × 0.2 × T² = 0.1 T²
Velocity of blue car, v = u+ at
v = 0.2T
Distance covered by green car at T is given as: S = Velocity × time
Where v = 0.2T, t = T - 7.5 (since the blue car started 7.5 seconds earlier)
S = 0.2T (T - 7.5)
S = 0.2 T² - 1.5T
Equating the distance covered by the two cars
0.2T² - 1.5T = 0.1T²
0.1T² - 1.5T = 0
T(0.1T - 1.5) = 0
T = 0 or
T = 1.5/0.1 = 15 secs
Therefore, after 15 seconds, the green car will catch up with the blue car
Acceleration is the ratio of a change in velocity to the time over which the change happend
