Answer:
a) 4.2m/s
b) 5.0m/s
Explanation:
This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.
The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.
Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses 
and 
whose respective velocities before collision are 
and 
;
where 
and 
are their respective velocities after collision.
Given;
Note that =0 because the second mass was at rest before the collision.
Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that 
so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;
m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;
a) When 
, we obtain the following by equation(3)
b) As stops moving 
, therefore,
Answer:
10 h
Explanation:
velocidade é a taxa de variação da distância no tempo. é a razão entre a distância e o tempo
de Santos e Curitiba:
distância (d) de 480 km, velocidade (s) de 80 km/h
de Curitiba e Florianópolis:
distância (d) de 300 km, velocidade (s) de 75 km/h
tempo médio de ônibus entre Santos e Florianópolis = 6h + 4h = 10h
600
mph
Velocity is the distance traveled in a given time, or
v
=
x
t
where
v
is velocity,
x
is distance and
t
is time.
Here,
x
=
3000
and
t
=
5.0
, so
v
=
x
t
=
3000
5
=
600
Don't forget units. Since the question's data is in miles and hours, the units will be miles per hour, or mph, so
3000
miles
5
hours
=
600
miles
hour
=
600
mph
