Answer:

The second option - same change in momentum, different force

Explanation:

They experience the same change in momentum, but the force on car A is greater.

p=m*v

Impulse, or change in p=F*t

We know the cars have the same change in momentum, because they both go from the same initial momentum (p=mv), to zero momentum. Therefore, both experience the same change in momentum. Since the time is different, but the change in momentum is the same, the force has to be different.

For example: if both cars had 200 kg*m/s of momentum at the start, and 0 at rest, the impulse is 200 kg*m/s

So,

p(a)= 200=F(0.3)

p(b)= 200=F(5)

Which force has to be greater to make the equations true? The force for Car A, of course!

Suppose we have a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it trie

sammy [17]

Answer:

2.64 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 600 kilogram great "yellow" shark swimming to the right at a speed of 3 meters traveled each second as it tries to get lunch. An unsuspecting 100 kilogram blue fin tuna is minding its own business swimming to the left at a speed of 0.5 meters traveled each second. GULP! After the great "yellow" shark "collides" with the blue fin tuna

Momentum = MV

Momentum of the yellow shark before collision = 600 × 3 = 1800 kgm/s

Momentum of the tun final before collision = 100 × 0.5 = 50 kgm/s

Total momentum before collision = 1800 + 50 = 1850 kgm/s

Let's assume that they move together after collision. Then,

1850 = ( 600 + 100 ) V

1850 = 700V

V = 1850 / 700

V = 2.64285 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the shark after collision is 2.64 m/ s approximately

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.

Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

$[I] = [N][s]$

So,

N • s

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

$I=\Delta p$

where the change in momentum is given by

$\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where m is the mass and $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

$[I]=[kg][m/s]$

so,

kg • meters per second

A man whose mass is 69 kg and a woman whose mass is 52 kg sit at opposite ends of a canoe 5 m long, whose mass is 20 kg. Suppose

dusya [7]

Answer:

the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water

Explanation:

Given that;

A man whose mass = 69 kg

A woman whose mass = 52 kg

at opposite ends of a canoe 5 m long, whose mass is 20 kg

now let;

x1 = position of the man

x2 = position of canoe

x3 = position of the woman

Now,

Centre of mass = [m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3] / m1 + m2 + m3

= ( 69×0 ) + ( 52×5) + ( 20× 5/2) / 69 + 52 + 20

= (0 + 260 + 50 ) / ( 141 )

= 310 / 141

= 2.19858 m

Centre of mass is 2.19858 m

Now, New center of mass will be;

52 × 2.5 / ( 69 + 52 + 20 )

= 130 / 141

= 0.9219858 m { away from the man }

To get how far, the canoe moved;

⇒ 2.5 + 0.9219858 - 2.19858

= 1.2234 m

Therefore, the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water
