A 2,000 kg car is moving at 15m/s when it collides with a 1200kg car sitting still. Briefly compare the impulse imparted on the

1200kg car by the 2000 kg car to the impulse on the 2000 kg car by the 1200 kg car which car under goes the greater change in momentum

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

mass of car 1 = 2000 kg

speed of car 1 = 15 m/s

mass of car 2 = 1200 kg

car 2 is initially at rest.

Impulse (F Δt) = change in momentum = Δ(mv)

Change in Momentum depends on the mass and velocity.

When car 1 collides with car 2, car 1 would under go greater change in the momentum because it has greater mass and initial velocity while car 2 has smaller mass and is initially at rest.

impulse = F × t

The greater the impulse exerted on something, the greater will be the change in momentum.

impulse = change in momentum

Ft = ∆(mv)

A vector → A has a magnitude of 56.0 m and points in a direction 30.0° below the negative x axis. A second vector, → B , has a m
MissTica

Answer:

  • The magnitude of the vector \vec{C} is 107.76 m

Explanation:

To find the components of the vectors we can use:

\vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.

The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° + 30 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° + 30 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = 56.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 210 \°) \ , \ sin (210 \°) \ )

\vec{A} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 180 \° - 49 \°) \ , \ sin (180 \° - 49 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = 82.0 \ m \ ( \ cos( 131 \°) \ , \ sin (131 \°) \ )

\vec{B} = ( \ -53.797 \ m \ , \ 61.886\ m \ )

Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:

(a_x,a_y) + (b_x,b_y) = (a_x+b_x,a_y+b_y)

So, for our vectors:

\vec{C} = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ , \ - 28 \ m \ ) + ( \ -53.797 \ m \ ,  ) = ( \ -48.497 \ m \ -53.797 \ m , \ - 28 \ m \ + \ 61.886\ m \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 102.294 \ m , \ 33.886 m \ )

To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{C_x^2 + C_y^2}

|\vec{C}| = \sqrt{(- 102.294 \ m)^2 + (\ 33.886 m \)^2}

|\vec{C}| =107.76 m

And this is the magnitude we are looking for.

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa
Lesechka [4]
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }

The mass of jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Tjupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Rjupiter
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) 11.9 yr

Explanation:

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass.

By keppler's law  we know that

T^2= r^3

T= orbital time period

r= mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

clearly, The orbital period does not depend on the satellite's mass

there, the correct answer will be c= 11.9 yr.
