Answer:
a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero
b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero
c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s
d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s
e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s
Explanation:
a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero
b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0
c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s
d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s
e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley
∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s
The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s
Answer:
a = 10.07m/s^2
Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time
a = ∆v/t
Given;
∆v = 50.0miles/hour - 0
∆v = 50.0miles/hours × 1609.344 metres/mile × 1/3600 seconds/hour
∆v = 22.352m/s
t = 2.22 s
So,
Acceleration a = ∆v/t = 22.352m/s ÷ 2.22s
a = 10.07m/s^2
Their acceleration in meters per second squared is 10.07m/s^2
Answer:
I = 2 kgm^2
Explanation:
In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:
(1)
I: moment of inertia of the door
α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2
τ: torque exerted on the door
You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:
(2)
F: force = 5.00 N
d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m
You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:
Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:
The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
