a piece of clay with mass m is traveling with an unknown velocity in the positive x-direction, when it collides and sticks to a

block of mass 3m, moving with velocity v=-3m/s. after the collision, the block and clay are stuck together and traveling with a velocity of 1 m/s in the negative x-direction. what was the original velocity of the clay mass?

Answer:

13 m in the + x direction.

Explanation:

Givens

m1 = m

m2 = 3m

v1= ? = x

v2 = - 3 m/s

v3 = v4 = - 1 m/s

Equation

Let x be the speed of the lighter object before collision.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

Solution

mx   - 3m * 3m/s = (m1 + m2)*(-1)

m(x - 3*3m/s) = (m + 3m)(-1)

m(x - 9) = - 4m                                      Cancel the ms

x - 9 = 4                                                 Add 9 to both sides

x = 9 + 4

x = 13 m/s

What does it mean to have an acceleration of -10 m/s^2 when the velocity is 80 m/s?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

1,3

Explanation:

As the acceleration is -10m/s^2 , that means deceleration is occurring. That means, the object is slowing down.

v=u-at

or, 0=80-10t

or, t=8 seconds

So, the object will stop in 8 seconds.

So, the correct answers are 1 and 3.

Hope, this helps you.

When removing the objects from the oven, you accidentally touch each one with your hand. Rank these objects on the basis of how
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

So, we can assemble the options based or evaluation of there properties regarding getting an equilibrium or balanced state in a given time.We have the following rankings attributed to the elements:

  • Silveringpot≥ aluminiumpot ≥ironskillet  ≥glasscasseroldish ≥welldone steak ≥woodencuttingboard.

Explanation:

<u>Attaining equilibrium matters:</u>

When the materials are placed inside the oven, they attain a high temperature value causing it to be non touchable but some of the items has low value to attain the equilibrium state when comes in contact with other mediums. As these materials are also arranged based on that analyses.

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

a bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 metre per second square for 2 minutes find the speed acquired
blondinia [14]
S ?
U 0m/s
V ?
A 0.1m/s^2
T 2min (120 sec)

S=ut+0.5at^2
S=0(120 sec)+0.5(0.1m/s^2)(120 sec)^2
S=720m

Distance double 720m*2=1440m

V^2=u^2+2as
V^2=(0)^2+2(0.1 m/s^2)(1440m)
V^2=288
V= square root of 288=12 root 2=16.97 to 2 decimal places
