3.00 kg block moving 2.09 m/s right hits a 2.22 kg block moving 3.92 m/s left. afterwards, the 3.00 kg block moves 1.71 m/s left

. find the velocity of the 2.22 kg block afterwards

Momentum is conserved, so the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. Take the right direction to be positive. Then

(3.00 kg) (2.09 m/s) + (2.22 kg) (-3.92 m/s) = (3.00 kg) (-1.71 m/s) + (2.22 kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the 2.22 kg block after collision. Solve for <em>v</em> :

6.27 kg•m/s - 8.70 kg•m/s = -5.13 kg•m/s + (2.22 kg) <em>v</em>

(2.22 kg) <em>v</em> = 2.70 kg•m/s

<em>v</em> = (2.70 kg•m/s) / (2.22 kg)

<em>v</em> ≈ 1.22 m/s

i.e. a velocity of about 1.22 m/s to the right.

Orlov [11]
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.
NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is    (45 cm) / (3 sec)  =  15 cm/sec.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Use v^{2} = u^{2} +2as to do the question.

For first instance,

0 = v^{2} +2ax -------------------( 1 )

for second instance,

0 = (2v)^{2} +2as-----------------( 2 )

So by (1) and (2),

s = 4x
