Can you hit the monkey at a slow speed with gravity on?

Speed is a scalar quantity which gives a measure of how fast a body is moving. It is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled by an object and the time taken to cover that distance:

$speed = \frac{d}{\Delta t}$

where

d is the distance covered

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

It is important to note that being a scalar, speed does not have any direction. Moreover, distance is also a scalar quantity, which corresponds to the total length of the path covered by the object, regardless on the direction taken.

So, the equation "travelled distance/elapsed time" corresponds to the average speed. (where the term average refers to the fact we are not measuring the speed at a specific instant in time, but on a certain time interval $\Delta t$ .

2)

Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by:

$velocity=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta x$ is the change in position (or displacement) of the object

$\Delta t$ is the time taken

And the direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

We must note that while distance does not depend on the direction, displacement does. In fact, displacement measures the difference between the initial and final position of the object.

Therefore, the equation "change in position / elapsed time" is equal to the average velocity.

On her camping trip, Penelope was in charge of collecting firewood. The firewood she found had a mass of 120 g and a volume of 4

zloy xaker [14]

From the formula: density=mass/volume
But first, we have to convert the cm³ to m³ by multiplying the value in cm³ by 10^-6, by so doing we'll have the volume to be 0.48*10^-3cm³.
we will also need to convert the mass which is in g to kg by simply dividing by 1000 so the mass becomes 0.12kg
Now we can solve for the density using the formula I earlier stated which is the mass divided by the volume =0.12/0.48*10^-3 so the density will be 0.25*10^3kgm-3 or 2.5*10^2kgm-3

A striped billiard ball moves toward the right with speed 3 m/s. A solid billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left

Helen [10]

Answer:

Final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Explanation:

Given :

Two billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left at the same speed 3 m/s .

Let , us assume right hand side direction to be positive and left hand side direction to be negative .

Also , let speed of ball after collision is (striped ball ) u and (solid ball) v .

It is also given that the collision is elastic .

Therefore , kinetic energy is conserved .

$\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}+\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}=\dfrac{mu^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\u^2+v^2=18$ ...... ( 1 )

Also , by conserving linear momentum .

We get :

$3m-3m=mu+mv\\u=-v$ ...... ( 2 )

Putting value of u from equation 2 to equation 1 .

We get :

$2v^2=18\\v=3\ m/s$

And , u = -3 m/s .

Therefore , final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Hence , this is the required solution .
