Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a hori
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sam mass=75kg

Height is 50m

20° frictionless slope

Horizontal force on Sam is 200N

According to the work energy theorem, the net work done on Sam will be equal to his change in kinetic energy.

Therefore

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

Note initial the body was at rest at top of the slope.

Then, ∆K.E is K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

K.E Is given as ½mv²

Since initial velocity is zero then, K.E(initial ) is zero

Therefore, ∆K.E=½mVf²

Wg is work done by gravity and it is given by using P.E formulas

Wg=mgh

Wg=75×9.8×50

Wg=36750J

Ww is work done by wind and it's is given by using formulae for work

Work=force × distance

Ww=horizontal force × horizontal distance

Using Trig.

TanX=opposite/adjacent

Tan20=h/x

x=h/tan20

x=50/tan20

x=137.37m

Then,

Ww=F×x

Ww=200×137.37

We=27474J

Now applying the formula

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

36750 - 27474 =½×75×Vf²

9276=37.5Vf²

Vf²=9275/37.5

Vf²= 247.36

Vf=√247.36

Vf=15.73m/s

What is your average velocity after going 15 meters east followed by 20 meters
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity = displacement/time taken

going 15 meters east and then 20 meters west gives a displacement of 5 meters.

Velocity v = 5/10

= 0.5 m/s
