Answer:

5 miles per hour

Explanation:

if you divide 15 by 3 you get 5, therefore the student is going 5 miles per hour.

Object A has mass mA = 9 kg and initial momentum vector pA,i = < 20, -6, 0 > kg · m/s, just before it strikes object B, wh
love history [14]

Answer:

p= kg m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a vector quantity that represents the "amount of motion" of an object.

Mathematically, the momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity

Since momentum is a vector, it also has a direction, which is the same as the velocity.

Therefore, if we have two objects, the total momentum of the two objects will be obtained from the vector sum of the individual momenta of the two objects.

In this problem we have:

p_A=  kg m/s is the momentum of object A

p_B = kg m/s is the momentum of object B

Therefore, the total momentum of objects A and B can be obtained by adding each components of A to the corresponding component of B, so:

p_x = 20 +6 = 26 kg m/s\\p_y = -6 +6 = 0 kg m/s\\p_z = 0 + 0 = 0 kg m/s

So the total initial momentum is

p= kg m/s

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles

6000 kg train moving 5 m/sec to east collides with 5000 kg train moving 3 m/sec to west. What is their velocity
Svetlanka [38]

The final velocity is 1.37 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two trains must be conserved before and after the collision.

So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 6000 kg is the mass of the first train

u_1 = 5 m/s is the initial velocity of the first train (we take east as positive direction)

m_2 = 5000 kg is the mass of the second train

u_2 = -3 m/s is the initial velocity of the second train

v is the final combined velocity of the two trains

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(6000)(5)+(5000)(-3)}{6000+5000}=1.37 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is east.

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 meters p
bagirrra123 [75]

Complete question is;

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets, causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 m/s² rightward. After 3s, what will be the velocity of the rocket ship?

Answer:

v = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s (because ship starts from rest)

Acceleration; a = 4 m/s²

Time; t = 3 s

To find velocity after 3 s, we will use Newton's first equation of motion;

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4 × 3)

v = 12 m/s
