A subway car whose mass is 52,000. kg is traveling with a velocity of 3.4 m/s due north and collides with a second subway car wh

ose mass is also 52,000. kg and is at rest. If the two cars stick together after the collision, what is the velocity of the two cars?

Answer:

1.7 m/s

Explanation:

52,000kg x 3.4 m/s= 176,800

52,000+52,000= 104,000

176,800/104,000= 1.7m/s

how much centripetal force is needed to make a body of mass 0.5 kg to move in a circle of radius 50 cm with a speed 3ms-1

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

9 N

Explanation:

The centripetal force F is F = mrω^2 = (mv^2)/r where m is mass, r is radius of the curve, ω is angular velocity and v is tangential velocity.

In this case, m = 0.5kg, r = 0.5m, v = 3m/s

So F = [0.5kg(3m/s)^2]/0.5m = 9kg-m/s^2 which is 9N

A ball was rolling downhill at 2 m/s. After 5s, it was rolling at 90 m/s. What is its acceleration?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

17.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

$v_{f}$ = 90 m/s (final velocity)

$v_{i}$ = 2 m/s (initial velocity)

Δt = 5s (change in time)

The formula for acceleration is:

$a_{avg}$ = Δv / Δt

We can find Δv by doing

Δv = $v_{f}$ - $v_{i}$

Replace the values

Δv = 90m/s - 2m/s

Δv= 88m/s

Using the equation from earlier, we can find the acceleration by dividing the average velocity by time.

$a_{avg}$ = Δv / Δt

$a_{avg}$ = $\frac{88m/s}{5/s}$

acceleration = 17.6 $m/s^{2}$
