I.i = j.j = 1
i.j = j.i = 0

(-2i - 5j)(i -4j)
= (-2i).i + (-2i).(-4j) + (-5j).i + (-5j).(-4j)
= -2 + 0 + 0 + 20 = 18

If you designed a rollercoaster, how might you design it? Would you have friction?

kvasek [131]

Yes, because you would need friction to slow down the rollercoaster to a stop.

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di

Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s

So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.

Hope this helps

A load of mass 5kg is raised through a height of 2m. calculate the work done against (g=10mls)

Illusion [34]

The work done against gravity is 100 J

Explanation:

The work done against gravity in order to lift an object is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the object:

$W=mg\Delta h$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

$\Delta h$ is the change in height of the object

For the object in this problem, we have:

m = 5 kg

$g=10 m/s^2$

$\Delta h = 2 m$

Substituting into the equation,

$W=(5)(10)(2)=100 J$

A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass o

Bond [772]

Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg
