Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so 

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s  /   180kg
Vf=0.67m/s

0.67m/s

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.

A 2200 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2400 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full pow
leonid [27]

Answer:

a) The maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV is 7.5 meters per second squared

b) The force of the SUV's bumper on the truck's bumper is 18000 newtons

Explanation:

a) By Newton's second law we can find the relation between force and acceleration of the SUV:

F=ma

With F the maximum force the truck applies to the SUV, m the mass of the SUV and a the acceleration of the SUV; solving for a:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{18000}{2400}\approx7.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) Because at this acceleration the truck's bumper makes a force of 18000 N on the SUV’s bumper by Third Newton’s law the force of the SUV’s bumper on the truck’s bumper is 18000 N too because they are action-reaction force pairs.

A 7.5 nC point charge and a - 2.9 nC point charge are 3.2 cm apart. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Net electric field, E_{net}=91406.24\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=7.5\ nC=7.5\times 10^{-9}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=-2.9\ nC=-2.9\times 10^{-9}\ C

distance, d = 3.2 cm = 0.032 m

Electric field due to charge 1 is given by :

E_1=\dfrac{kq_1}{r^2}

E_1=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 7.5\times 10^{-9}}{(0.032)^2}

E_1=65917.96\ N/C

Electric field due to charge 2 is given by :

E_2=\dfrac{kq_2}{r^2}

E_2=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 2.9\times 10^{-9}}{(0.032)^2}

E_2=25488.28\ N/C

The point charges have opposite charge. So, the net electric field is given by the sum of electric field due to both charges as :

E_{net}=E_1+E_2

E_{net}=65917.96+25488.28

E_{net}=91406.24\ N/C

So, the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two charges is 91406.24 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.
