Answer: 6.21 m/s opposite to Janet

Explanation:

Given

mass of Janet $m_j=59\ kg$

mass of Sarah $m_s=32\ kg$

The initial velocity of Janet $u_1=7\ m/s$

The final velocity of Janet after the collision is $v_1=2\ m/s$

the final velocity of Sarah after the collision is $v_2=3\ m/s$

Conserving linear momentum

$\Rightarrow m_ju_1+m_su_2=m_jv_1+m_sv_2\\\Rightarrow 59\times 7+32\times u_2=59\times 2+32\times 3\\\Rightarrow 32u_2=118+96-413\\\Rightarrow u_2=\frac{-199}{32}=-6.21\ m/s$

Negative indicates the direction of velocity is opposite than of Janet

In which one of the following situations does a car have a WESTWARD acceleration? The car travels westward and slows down. The c

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Let east direction is negative and west direction is positive. The acceleration of an object is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

As the car decelerates, the final speed of the car is less as compared to the initial speed. As a result, its acceleration is negative. It means the car travels eastward and slows down. Hence, this is the required solution.

If the box is a distance 1.81 m from the rear of the truck when the truck starts, how much time elapses before the box falls off

alexira [117]

If the box is a distance 1.81 m from the rear of the truck when the truck starts, ... Force of Friction = mu_s * Normal Force( M * G) ... The box starts moving! ... Now that the box is moving, the bed of the truck pulls at it with 17.4 ... out how long it will take the box to reach the back of the truck. ... T^2 = 2 * 1.81 / .64
