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.

At the outer edge of a rotating space habitat, 130 m from the center, the rotational acceleration is g. What is the rotational a
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

R1 = 130 m

R2 = 65 m

w^2R = g

Assume, g = 9.81 m/s^2

w^2 = 9.81/130

w = 0.275 rad/s

At R2 = 65 m

g = w^2R

= (0.275^2) × 65

= 4.905 m/s^2

In conclusion,

g × R = k

g1/R1 = g2/R2

g2 = (g1 × 65)/130

= g1 ×1/2

= g1/2

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.

What is the force on a person’s hand, which is using a rope to accelerate a 5 kg block upward with an acceleration of 2.2 m/s 2
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

F = 11 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of a block, m = 5 kg

Acceleration of the block, a = 2.2 m/s²

We need to find the force on the person's hand. Let it is F. We know that force is given by the product of mass and acceleration as follows :

F = ma

F = 5 kg × 2.2 m/s²

F = 11 N

So, the force on a person's hand is 11 N.

Why do covalent and ionic bonds form?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

Explanation:

hope this helps!
