Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie

s to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna, what is the velocity of the well fed shark?

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 3,000,000 m

B. 0.25 km

C. 10 m

D. 1,000 cm

Explanation:

no hablo español, así que solo ingrese esto en el traductor de G*ogle

A. One kilometer equals 1000 meters, so

3,000*1,000 = 3,000,000 m

B. One meter equals 0.001 kilometer, so

250*0.001 = 0.25 km

C. One centimeter equals 0.01 meter

1,000*0.01 = 10 m

D. One milimeter equals 0.1 centimer, so

10,000*0.1 = 1,000

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

The average density of the body of a fish is 1080 kg/m3. To keep from sinking, the fish increases its volumeby inflating an inte
Dimas [21]

Answer:

f = 8 %

Explanation:

given,

density of body of fish = 1080 kg/m³

density of air = 1.2 Kg/m³

density of water = 1000 kg/m²

to protect the fish from sinking volume should increased by the factor f

density of fish + density of water x increase factor = volume changes in water                                                    

1080 +f x 1.2 =(1 + f ) x 1000                

1080 + f x 1.2 = 1000 + 1000 f      

998.8 f = 80                                  

f = 0.0800                            

f = 8 %                                        

the volume increase factor of fish will be equal to f = 8 %
