For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. The truck then

keeps moving and pushes the car along with it.
If there are no other forces acting on this system, which best describes the results of the collision?

The collision is perfectly elastic.
Kinetic energy stays the same.
The momentum after the collision is greater than the momentum before the collision.
The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees
Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} and v_{f} =v_{0} +at where d is distance, v_{0} is the initial velocity, v_{f} is the final velocity, t is time, and a is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}, and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know d, v_{0} and t, we have to find the aceleration a in order to find v_{f}.

From the equation d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} we have to clear a, getting the equation as follows: a=\frac{2(d-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} }.

Substituting the values:

a=\frac{2(850m-54.5\frac{m}{s}.4.22s) }{(4.22s)^{2}}=69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}

To find v_{f} we use the equation v_{f} =v_{0} +at.

Substituting the values:

v_{f} =54.5\frac{m}{s} +(69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}.4.22s)=348.34\frac{m}{s}

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?
faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.
