A 0.75 kg model car is moving west at a speed of 9.0 m/s when it collides head-on with a 2.00 kg model truck that is traveling e

ast at a speed of 10.0 m/s. After the collision, the 0.75 kg model car is now moving east at 11 m/s. What is the speed and direction of the model truck after the collision?

Answer:

  2.5 m/s east

Explanation:

Let east be the positive direction for velocity.

The change in momentum of the 0.75 kg model car is ...

  m1·v2 -m1·v1 = (0.75 kg)(11 m/s) -(0.75 kg)(-9 m/s)

  = (0.75 kg)(20 m/s) = 15 kg·m/s

The change in momentum of the 2.0 kg model car is the opposite of this, so the total change in momentum is zero.

  m2·v2 -m2·v1 = (2 kg)(v2 m/s) -(2 kg)(10 m/s) = 2(v2 -10) kg·m/s

The required relation is ...

  15 kg·m/s = -2(v2 -10) kg·m/s

  -7.5 = v2 -10 . . . . divide by -2

  2.5 = v2 . . . . . . . add 10

The velocity of the model truck after the collision is 2.5 m/s east.

Two objects have a force of gravity of 100 N. If the distance between both objects decreases by a factor of 7, while the masses
Shkiper50 [21]

The gravitational force <em>F</em> between two masses <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing <em>r</em> with <em>r</em> / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> with <em>M</em> / 8 and <em>m</em> / 8, respectively. Then the new force <em>F*</em> is

<em>F*</em> = <em>G </em>(<em>M</em> / 8) (<em>m</em> / 8) / (<em>r</em> / 7)²

<em>F*</em> = (1/64 × <em>G M m</em>) / (1/49 × <em>r</em> ²)

<em>F*</em> = 49/64 × <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.

Plsss help me <br><br> what factors affect electrostatic force?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The first factor is the amount of charge on each object. The greater the charge, the greater the electric force. The second factor is the distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the greater the electric force is.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Aim directly at the monkey

Explanation:

Despite the mass differences, both the monkey and the food will experience the same acceleration hence while the food follows a projectile path, it will then fall and hit the monkey hence achieving the aim of feeding it. You don't need to aim below or above, aim it directly.
