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)

baherus [9]

(a)The acceleration of the 1,400-kg boat will be 0.425 m/sec²

(b) If it starts from rest, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s will be 85 m.

(c)Velocity at the end of that time will be 8.5 m/sec.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

Given data;

Forwad force acting on the boat,v₁ = 1,800-N

Resistive force acting on the boat,v₂ = 1,200-N

The acceleration of the boat,a

Mass of boat,m = 1,400-kg

Initial velocity of boat,u= 0 m/sec

Distance travelled by boat,S = ?

Time for the boat travels,t = 20.0 s

Final velocity,V = ? m/sec

The net force on the boat;

F = F₁ - F₂

F = 1800 N - 1200 N

F = 600 N

From the defination of force;

F= ma

a = F / m

a = 600 N / 1400 kg

a = 0.425 m/sec²

b)

The distance through which the boat moves is 20.0 s;

\rm x_f = x_ 0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f  = \frac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\ x_f = 0+0 + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.425 \times (20 )^ 2 \\\\ x_f  = 85 \ m

c)

The velocity at the end of that time is found as;

\rm  v_f = v_ 0 + at \\\\ v_f =- 0+ at \\\\ v_f = 8.5 m/sec

Hence the acceleration of the boat, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s, and velocity at the end of that time will be 0.425 m/sec²,85 m, and 8.5 m/sec.

Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it conta
shtirl [24]

Answer:

1020 km

Explanation:

A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.

The circumference is

C = \pi d

where <em>d</em> is the diameter of the wheel.

300,000 rotations = 300000\pi d = 300000\times\pi\times1.08\text{ m} = 1017876.0\ldots\text{ m}

In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 \frac{m}{s}

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = \frac{v-u}{a}

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = \frac{0-8}{-9.8}

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s
