If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

$\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}$

$\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}$

$\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}$

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

A girl runs 40m due south in 40 seconds an d then 20m due north in 10 secondsCalculate.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Average speed = total distance/total time

Average speed = (40 + 20)/(40 + 10)

Average speed = 60/50

Average speed = 1.2 m/s

Average velocity = displacement/time

Now, she ran 40 m south and ran 20 m back north which is in the direction of where she began the journey.

Thus;

Displacement = 40 - 20 = 20 m

Average velocity = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s
