Why do you keep your legs far apart when you have to stand in the aisle of a bumpy-riding bus??

Physics
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]4 years ago
7 0
<span>If you stand with your legs together, you aren’t going to be able to balance as easily, and you may well end up in the lap of someone who is sitting down. If you spread your legs apart, however, you will be able to plant your feet and lean into any bumps, thus drastically lowering your chance of falling.</span>

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

In the sum A→+B→=C→, vector A→ has a magnitude of 13.6 m and is angled 40.2° counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector
il63 [147K]

Answer:

|B|=27.00425726m

\alpha =210.3781372°

Explanation:

Let's use the component method of vector addition:

A_x=13.6cos(40.2)=10.38762599\\A_y=13.6sin(40.2)=8.778224553\\Cx=13.8cos(20.7+180)=-12.90912763\\Cy=13.8sin(20.7+180)=-4.877952844

Now, we know:

C_x=A_x+B_x\\\\C_y=A_y+b_y

So:

B_x=C_x-A_x=-23.29675362\\B_y=C_y-A_y=-13.6561774

Now lets calculate the magnitude of the vector B:

|B|=\sqrt{(B_x)^{2} +(B_y)^{2}  }=27.00425726m

Finally its angle is given by:

\alpha =(arctan(\frac{B_y}{B_x}))+180=30.37813438+180=210.3781344°

Keep in mind that I added 180 to the angles of C and B to find the real angles measured from the + x axis counter-clock wise.
