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 deer with a mass of 176 kg is running head-on towards you with a velocity of 19 m/s. you are going north. find the magnitude a
Igoryamba

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

According to this formula,

Momentum of deer = 176 × 19 = 3344 kg•m/s.

Since you are heading north and the deer is running towards you, the direction of the deer' s momentum is north as well.

As a 15000 kg jet plane lands on an aircraft carrier, its tail hook snags a cable to slow it down. The cable is attached to a sp
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy,

The kinetic energy of the plane = Energy of store in the spring when the plane lands.

1/2mv²  = 1/2ke²

making v the subject of the equation.

v = √(ke²/m).................... Equation 1

Where  v = the plane landing speed, k = spring constant, e = extension. m = mass of the plane.

Given: m = 15000 kg, k = 60000 N/m, e = 30 m.

Substitute into equation 1

v = √(60000×30²/15000)

v = √(4×900)

v = √(3600)

v = 60 m/s.

Hence the plane's landing speed = 60 m/s

Andre, whose mass is 77.1 kg, sits on a diving board above a dunk tank. If he is sitting 0.90 m above the water, what is his tot
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

680 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

ME = PE + KE

ME = mgh + ½ mv²

ME = (77.1 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.90 m) + ½ (77.1 kg) (0 m/s)²

ME = 680 J
