Answer:

the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg

mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg

initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

800 x 12    +   1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)

9600 = 2200v

v = 9600/2200

v = 4.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

\Delta  v=-27 m/s is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N

<u>Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon</u>:

<em>Original Question: C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → __CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>

<u>To balance this equation</u>:

⇒ must ensure that there is an equal number of elements on both sides of the equation at all times

<u>Let's start balancing:</u>

  • On the left side of the equation, there are 2 carbon molecule

              ⇒ but only so far one on the right side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ →  2CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>

  • On the left side of the equation, there are 6 hydrogen molecules

               ⇒ but only so far two on the right side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

  • On the right side of the equation, there are 7 oxygen molecules

                ⇒ but only so far three on the left side

         C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

<u>Let's check and make sure we got the answer:</u>

                           C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ →  2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>

<em>                 2 Carbon                ⇔                    2 Carbon</em>

<em>                 6 Hydrogen            ⇔                   6 Hydrogen</em>

<em>                 7 Oxygen                ⇔                   7 oxygen</em>

<u>Thefore the coefficients in order are</u>:

  ⇒ 1, 3, 2, 3

<u>Answer: 1,3,2,3</u>

Hope that helps!

Imagine you have just witnessed a small avalanche on a mountain while skiing, and two slushy snowballs just crashed together in
inn [45]
We have that the momentum p is given by the formula p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity. Since for A p=-14kgm/s and m=7, we have that the velocity is -14/7=-2m/s. Hence its speed is 2 m/s.
For b we have that p=15kgm/s and v=3m/s. Because m=p/v, we have m=3kg.
We also have that the momentum is conserved in this system. Hence, the net sum of the momentum of the 2 snowballs equals the momentum of the single giant ball. Hence, p(total)=p(combined)=-14+15=1kgm/s (momentum is a vector; the positive sign means that it tends to the positive direction).
