A candy-filled piñata is hung from a tree for Elia's birthday. During an unsuccessful attempt to break the 4.4-kg piñata, Tonja

smacks it with a 0.54-kg stick moving at 4.8 m/s. The stick stops and the piñata undergoes a gentle swinging motion. Determine the swing speed of the piñata immediately after being cracked by the stick

Answer: v = 0.6 m/s

Explanation: <u>Momentum</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>Principle</u> states that for a collision between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.

Momentum is calculated as Q = m.v

For the piñata problem:

Q_{i}=Q_{f}

m_{p}v_{p}_{i}+m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}_{f}

Before the collision, the piñata is not moving, so v_{p}_{i}=0.

After the collision, the stick stops, so v_{s}_{f}=0.

Rearraging, we have:

m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}

v_{p}_{f}=\frac{m_{s}v_{s}_{i}}{m_{p}}

Substituting:

v_{p}_{f}=\frac{(0.54)(4.8)}{(4.4)}

v_{p}_{f}= 0.6

Immediately after being cracked by the stick, the piñata has a swing speed of 0.6 m/s.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The gravity arrow for each body rotates, always pointing toward the other body. Both arrows grow longer when the bodies come closer to one another and shorter when they move farther apart. This change shows that the gravitational force is stronger the closer together the bodies are.

Energy in a spring:

E = 0.5 * k * x²

k spring constant = 800 n/m
x stretch of the spring = 5 cm = 0.05 m

E = 0.5 * 800 * 0.05² = 1

Savatey [412]

Hi there!

Informative writing has the intent to inform or educate us on a particular topic or event. It gives us more information and insight onto something.

Persuasive writing has the intent of convincing us to believe in a certain idea or to perform a certain action. For instance, advertisements have a persuasive intent; they are persuading us to buy a product or service.

Argumentative writing is similar to persuasive writing in the sense that they are persuading us to believe a certain idea. However, they are often based on logic and fact rather than opinions.

Let's look at the first excerpt.

<em>This morning at 9 a.m., a school bus collided with a car at the intersection of Osmena and Cabrera streets. The passengers were not injured, but the medical personnel checked each student as well as the driver before they were transported to their school.</em>

This text doesn't try to convince us in believing something. It doesn't argue anything and it only tries to give us more insight onto the event, which is a car accident. No opinions are stated and only events are given.

Therefore, this excerpt uses an informative writing technique.
