By the law of momentum conservation:-
=>m¹u¹ + m²u² = m1v1 + m²v² {let East is +ve}
=>u¹ + u² = v¹ + v² {as m1=m2}
=>3.5 - 2.75 = v1-1.5
<span>
=>v¹ = 2.25 m/s (East) </span>
Answer:
The net displacement of the car is 3 km West
Explanation:
Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).
Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.
So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.
Answer:
120 miles per hour.
Explanation:
We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.
So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.
Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.
So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.
The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus, speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.
So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
