Hi there!

This is an example of a recoil collision.

Using the conservation of momentum:

$p_i = p_f$

The initial momentum is 0 kgm/s (objects start from rest), so:

$p_f = 0$

We are given that the 15 kg block has a velocity of 12 m/s to the left, so:

$m_1v_1' + m_2v_2' = 0 \\\\15(-12) + 18v_2' = 0 \\\\$

Solve for v2':

$18v_2' = 180 \\\\v_2' = \boxed{10 m/s}$

A 4.00 m long, massless beam rests horizontally on a support 3.00 m from the left

Rus_ich [418]

If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

Given the data in the question;

Length of the massless beam; $L = 4.00m$

Distance of support from the left end; $x = 3.00m$

First mass; $m1 = 31.3 kg$

Distance of beam from the left end( m₁ is attached to ); $x_1 = ?$

Second mass; $m_2 = 61.7 kg$

Distance of beam from the right of the support( m₂ is attached to ); $x_1 = 0.273m$

Now, since it is mentioned that the beam is in static equilibrium, the Net Torque on it about the support must be zero.

Hence, $m_1g( x-x_1) = m_2gx_2$

we divide both sides by $g$

$m_1( x-x_1) = m_2x_2$

Next, we make $x_1$ , the subject of the formula

$x_1 = x - [ \frac{m_2x_2}{m_1} ]$

We substitute in our given values

$x_1 = 3.00m - [ \frac{61.7kg\ * \ 0.273m}{31.3kg} ]$

$x_1 = 3.00m - 0.538m$

$x_1 = 2.46m$

Therefore, If the beam is in static equilibrium, meaning the Net Torque on it about the support is zero, the value of x₁ is 2.46m

On a nice summer day,Kim takes her niece Madison for a walk in her stroller.If they start from rest and accelerate at a rate of

11111nata11111 [884]

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

time of travel = 5s

Solution:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time:

Acceleration = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity}{time}$

From the equation above, the unknown is final velocity:

Final velocity - initial velocity = Acceleration x time

since initial velocity = 0

Final velocity = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5m/s

If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, nea

exis [7]

Answer: A volcanic island arc like Hawaii.

Explanation: The Hawaiian island is the most safest place for the people to live in comparison to the other given options.

The plate tectonic movement generates energy due to collision, resulting in sudden release of energy, and seismic waves are produced that propagates and causes earthquake.

Due to the constant collision between the plates, different places at different time experiences earthquake. Near a fault region, earthquakes are very severe, and also near the mid oceanic ridge it is not possible for a person to live. The subduction zones are the region where a denser plate subducts beneath the other, and its impossible for life to exist there.

Thus the most safest place out of all the option is the volcanic islands where numerous people resides. for example, the Hawaiian and Stromboli.
