Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

A ship's wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.930 kilogram·meters squared. The inner radius of the ring is 26 centimeters, and the

Vikki [24]

We can use the formula of the moment of inertia given by:

$r\cdot F=I\alpha$

Where:

r = Distance from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied

F = Force

I = Moment of inertia

α = Angular acceleration

So:

$\begin{gathered} r\cdot F=(-0.26\times314+290\times0.32)=92.8-81.64=11.16 \\ I=0.930 \\ so,_{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}\alpha: \\ \alpha=\frac{r\cdot F}{I} \\ \alpha=\frac{11.16}{0.930} \\ \alpha=\frac{12rad}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

12 rad/s²

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

$m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2$

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute $m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3$
