An 8.00 kg mass moving east at 15.4 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a 10.0 kg object that is initially at

rest. After the collision, the 8.00 kg object moves south at 3.90 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision

Answer:

9.3m/s

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision

m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2

m1 = 8kg

u1 = 15.4m/s

m2 = 10kg

u2 = 0m/s(at rest)

v1 = 3.9m/s

Required

v2.

Substitute

8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2

123.2=31.2+10v2

123.2-31.2 = 10v2

92 = 10v2

v2 = 92/10

v2 = 9.2m/s

Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s

1. A force acting on an object in the upward direction is 3 N. The force that would
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

We must perform a sum of forces on the body, that sum of forces is equal to zero. That is, the body is in balance and does not move.

ΣF = 0

3 - 3 = 0

This force is negative and acts by pointing downwards.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • height of the waterfall, h = 0.432 m
  • distance of the Salmon from the waterfall, s = 3.17 m
  • angle of projection of the Salmon, = 30.8º

The time of motion to fall from 0.432 m is calculated as;

h = v_0_y + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\0.432 = 0 + (0.5\times 9.8)t^2\\\\0.432 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{0.432}{4.9} \\\\t^2 = 0.088\\\\t = \sqrt{0.088} \\\\t = 0.3 \ s

The minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is calculated as;

X = v_0_x t\\\\3.17 = (v_0\times cos(30.8)) \times 0.3\\\\10.567 = v_0\times cos(30.8)\\\\v_0 = \frac{10.567}{cos(30.8)} \\\\v_0 = 12.3 \ m/s

Thus, the minimum velocity of the Salmon jumping at the given angle is 12.3 m/s.

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force F_g = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.
