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

An aurora occurs when ____
ASHA 777 [7]

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.

According to the first rule, if a force pulls on one end of a rope, the tension in the rope equals the magnitude of the pulling
mixer [17]

Answer:

F.

Explanation:

Here in the question the mass of the pulley is zero, hence, the tension in the cable throughout is same.

magnitude of tension in rope 1 is

T1= F

Hence the tension T1 is rope 1 is F.

Newton's first law of motion gives the concept of force moment ​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Hey there

Where trying to say that:

Newton's first law gives the concept of force and momentum?

That's false if that's is what you said.

Newton's first law tells us that objects in motion will remain in motion and objects at rest will remain at rest.

Newton's second law gives us the concept of force and momentum.
