Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running
crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is ____ and the weight of the object is e
Maslowich

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is <em>zero</em> (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to <em>the force of air resistance against the object</em>.  (choice-D)

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

They will not meet

h-hX=1.2*g*t²

hX=v0*t-(1/2*g*t²)

Explanation:

fall h=1/2*g*t²

elevation time if v0=20 m/s  te=v0/g=20 m/s /9.81 m/s²=2.0387s

hmax=v0²/(2*g)=(400 m²/s²)/19.62 m/s²2=20.387 m

free fall

t=2.0387s yields hX=1/2*g*t²=20.387 m

h-hX=200m - 20.387 m=179,613 m.

so, the second body has not enough initianoal speed to reach a meeting point
