Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic colli

sion. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of m A = 17.0 kg and an initial velocity of v 0A = 8.00 m/s, due east. Object B, however has a mass of m B = 29.0 kg and an initial velocity of v 0B = 5.00 m/s, due north. Find the magnitude and direction of the total momentum of the two-object system after the collision.

Answer:

pf = 198.8 kg*m/s

θ = 46.8º N of E.

Explanation:

  • Since total momentum is conserved, and momentum is a vector, the components of the momentum along two axes perpendicular each other must be conserved too.
  • If we call the positive x- axis to the W-E direction, and the positive y-axis to the S-N direction, we can write the following equation for the initial momentum along the x-axis:

       p_{ox} = p_{oAx} + p_{oBx}  (1)

  • We can do exactly the same for the initial momentum along the y-axis:

       p_{oy} = p_{oAy} + p_{oBy}  (2)

  • The final momentum along the x-axis, since the collision is inelastic and both objects stick together after the collision, can be written as follows:

       p_{fx} =  (m_{A} + m_{B} ) * v_{fx}  (3)

  • We can repeat the process for the y-axis, as follows:

       p_{fy} =  (m_{A} + m_{B} ) * v_{fy}  (4)

  • Since (1) is equal to (3), replacing for the givens, and since p₀Bₓ = 0, we can solve for vfₓ as follows:

       v_{fx} = \frac{p_{oAx}}{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} = \frac{m_{A}*v_{oAx} }{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} =\frac{17.0kg*8.00m/s}{46.0kg} =  2.96 m/s (5)

  • In the same way, we can find the component of the final momentum along the y-axis, as follows:

       v_{fy} = \frac{p_{oBy}}{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} = \frac{m_{B}*v_{oBy} }{(m_{A}+ m_{B)}} =\frac{29.0kg*5.00m/s}{46.0kg} =  3.15 m/s (6)

  • With the values of vfx and vfy, we can find the magnitude of the final speed of the two-object system, applying the Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

      v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{fx} ^{2} + v_{fy} ^{2}} = \sqrt{(2.96m/s)^{2} + (3.15m/s)^{2}} = 4.32 m/s (7)

  • The magnitude of the final total momentum is just the product of the combined mass of both objects times the magnitude of the final speed:

       p_{f} = (m_{A} + m_{B})* v_{f}  = 46 kg * 4.32 m/s = 198.8 kg*m/s (8)

  • Finally, the angle that the final momentum vector makes with the positive x-axis, is the same that the final velocity vector makes with it.
  • We can find this angle applying the definition of tangent of an angle, as follows:

       tg \theta = \frac{v_{fy}}{v_{fx}} = \frac{3.15 m/s}{2.96m/s} = 1.06 (9)

       ⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (1.06) = 46.8º N of E

A column of soldiers, marching at 114 steps per minute, keep in step with the beat of a drummer at the head of the column. It is
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

length of column is 140.42 m

Explanation:

in 1 min the soldiers travels 114 steps

so to complete 1 step the time taken by the soldiers =

t =  \dfrac{1\ min}{114}

t =  \dfrac{60}{114}  

t = 0.526 s

speed of sound = 343 m/s

length of the column = v × t

                                   = 343 m/s × 0.526 s

                                   = 140.42 m

hence the length of column is 140.42 m

What is the formula that describes the magnitude of impulse on an object?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option C.

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

Explanation:

Impulse is defined by the following the following formula:

Impulse = force (F) × time (t)

Impulse = Ft

From Newton's second law of motion,

Force = change in momentum /time

Cross multiply

Force × time = change in momentum

Recall:

Impulse = Force × time

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Recall:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum = mv

Chang in momentum = mass × change in velocity

Change in momentum = mΔv

Thus,

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in velocity

If you push an 5 N object 2 m and then push a 10 N object 2 m. Which is TRUE?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

You don't do the same amount of work. The work formula is F*d = W

W = work

F = force

d = the distance moved.

So you do more work when you move the 10N object because the Force (F) has doubled.

Pete is driving down 7th Street. He
lukranit [14]

Answer:

v=10.75m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Pete drives 215 Meters in 20 seconds. He is driving down 7th floor. We need to find his speed.

Speed = distance/time

⇒

v=\dfrac{215\ m}{20\ s}\\\\v=10.75\ m/s

Hence, the speed of Pete is 10.75 m/s.
