Answer:

Momentum is given by

p

=

m

v

. Impulse is the change of momentum,

I

=

Δ

p

and is also equal to force times time:

I

=

F

t

. Rearranging,

F

=

I

t

=

Δ

p

Momentum before the collision is

Assuming the truck comes to a complete halt, the momentum after the collision is

The change in momentum,

Δ

This is called the impulse:

I

=

Δ

p

. Impulse is also equal (check the units) to force times time:

I

=

F

t

.

We can rearrange this expression to make

F

The negative sign just means the force acting is in the opposite direction to the initial momentum.

(This will be the average force acting during the collision: collisions are chaotic so the force is unlikely to be constant.)

6. If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 39m/s, how far would
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  175 m

Explanation:

The average velocity for constant acceleration is the average of the beginning and ending velocities. That is (0+39)/2=19.5 m/s. If the bicyclist rides for 9 seconds, the distance traveled is ...

  (9 s)(19.5 m/s) = 175.5 m

She would travel 175.5 meters in that time.

A person walks 25 m west and then 45 m at the angle of 60 degrees north of east what is the magnitude of the total displacement?
expeople1 [14]


To solve this question, we need to use the component method and split our displacements into their x and y vectors. We will assign north and east as the positive directions.

The first movement of 25m west is already split. x = -25m, y = 0m.

The second movement of 45m [E60N] needs to be split using trig.
x = 45cos60 = 22.5m
y = 45sin60 = 39.0m

Then, we add the two x and two y displacements to get the total displacement in each direction.

x = -25m + 22.5m = -2.5m
y = 0m + 39.0m

We can use Pythagorean theorem to find the total displacement.
d² = x² + y²
d = √(-2.5² + 39²)
d = 39.08m

And then we can use tan to find the angle.
inversetan(y/x) = angle
inversetan(39/2.5) = 86.3

Therefore, the total displacement is 39.08m [W86.3N]
