How is it possible for two objects to experience a collision that results in different accelerations?

Two colliding objects will exert equal forces upon each other. If the objects have different masses, then these equal forces will produce different accelerations.

Question 6 (10 points)

Answer:

a= g = - 9.81 m/s2.

The following equations will be helpful:

a = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 at2 vf2 = vo2 + 2ad

When you substitute the specific acceleration due to gravity (g), the equations are as follows:

g = (vf - vo)/t d = vot + 1/2 gt2 vf2 = vo2 + 2gd

If the object is dropped from rest, the initial velocity ("vi") is zero. This further simplifies the equations to these:

g = vf /t d = 1/2 gt2 vf2 = 2gd

The sign convention that we will use for direction is this: "down" is the negative direction. If you are given a velocity such as -5.0 m/s, we will assume that the direction of the velocity vector is down. Also if you are told that an object falls with a velocity of 5.0 m/s, you would substitute -5.0 m/s in your equations. The sign convention would also apply to the acceleration due to gravity as shown above. The direction of the acceleration vector is down (-9.81 m/s2) because the gravitational force causing the acceleration is directed downward.

hope this info helps you out!

What do microwaves have in common with light waves?
frozen [14]

Microwaves and light waves ... as well as radio, X-rays,
ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, etc. ... are waves of
electromagnetic radiation.  The difference is in their
frequency/wavelength.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 2.02 kg object is at 3.03 m, a 2.92 kg object is at 2.43 m, a 2.53 kg o
levacccp [35]

Answer:

0.975 m

Explanation:

The center of mass y = ∑m₁y₁/∑m₁ where m₁ = the individual masses and y₁ = the y - coordinates of the individual masses

So,

y = (2.02 kg × 3.03  m + 2.92 kg × 2.43 m + 2.53 kg × 0 m + 4.02 kg × -0.501 m)/(2.02 kg + 2.92 kg + 2.53 kg + 4.02 kg)

y = (6.1206 kgm + 7.0956 kgm + 0 kgm - 2.01402 kgm)/11.49 kg

y = 11.20218 kgm/11.49 kg

y = 0.975 m

So, the y- component of the center of mass of these objects is 0.975 m
