Yes a perch is a consumer.
M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg
m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg
V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s
v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s
V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?
v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s
using conservation of momentum
M V + m v = M V' + m v'
(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)
100 = (10) V' + 32
(10) V' = 68
V' = 6.8 m/s
Answer:
0.465 kgm/s
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the cart A, m1 = 450 g
Speed of the cart A, v1 = 0.85 m/s
Mass of the cart B, m2 = 300 g
Speed of the cart B, v2 = 1.12 m/s
Now, using the law of conservation of momentum.
It is worthy of note that our cart B is moving in opposite directions to A
m1v1 + m2v2 =
(450 * 0.85) - (300 * 1.12) =
382.5 - 336 =
46.5 gm/s
If we convert to kg, we have
46.5 / 100 = 0.465 kgm/s
Thus, the total momentum of the system is 0.465 kgm/s
