Answer:
<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>1,500 kg.m/s</em></u>
Explanation:
First, arrange the information in a table:
Object Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s)
A 200 15
B 150 - 10
After the collision, the two objects are stick together, thus you talk aobut one object and one momentum.
According to the law of convervation of momentum, the momentum after the collision is equal to the momentum before the collision.
<u>Momentum before the collision, P₁</u>:


<u>Momentum after the collision</u>:
- As stated, it es equal to the momentum before the collision: 1,500 kg . m/s
It depends on speed because it is a part of a car
Answer:
(A) 3,449,600 N/m
(B) 62,720 poeple
Explanation:
extension of the sling shot (e) = 4 m
mass of projectile (m) = 440 g = 0.44 kg
speed of projectile (v) = 11.2 km/s = 11,200 m/s
average force a person can exert = 220 N
spring constant (k) = ?
(A) When all the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

rearranging the above equation
spring constant (K) = 
spring constant (K) = 
spring constant (K) = 
spring constant (K) = 3,449,600 N/m
(B) force required to stretch the slingshot (F) = ke = 3,449,600 x 4 = 13,798,400 N
number of people required = required force / average force per person = 13,798,400 / 220 =62,720 poeple
