We are given:
Homer the Astronaut:
Mass of Homer the astronaut(m1) = 200 kg
initial velocity of Homer the astronaut(u1) = 5 m/s
Larry the Pal:
Mass of Larry the Pal (m2) = 150 kg
initial velocity of Larry the Pal (u2) = 0 m/s
Since they will move together after the collision, they will have the same velocity:
v1 = v2 = V
Solving for the Final velocity:
from the law of conservation of momentum:
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
since v1 = v2 = V:
m1u1 + m2u2 = V(m1 + m2)
replacing the variables with the given values
200 * 5 + 150 * 0 = V(200 + 150)
1000 = 350V
V = 1000 / 350
V = 2.86 m/s
If a 25 kg lawnmower produces 347 w and does 9514 J of work, for
how much time did the lawnmower run?
Steps 1 and 2)
The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.
The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.
-----------------------
Step 3)
Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P
-----------------------
Step 4)
t = W/P
t = 9514/347
t = 27.4178674351586
t = 27.4 seconds
-----------------------
Step 5)
The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.
-----------------------
Note: we don't use the mass at all

An arrow in a bow has 357 J of elastic potential energy How much Winette enere
Will the arrow have after it has been shot assuming there is no sir restoran
Answer:
357 J
Explanation:
The elastic potential energy of arrow in the stretched bow is 357 J.
The kinetic energy of the arrow after it has been shot is given by half of the product of the arrow's mass and velocity of the arrow.
Here there are no other forms of energy at play here. Only potential and kinetic energy.
As we know that in any system the energy is conserved accordingly the elastic potential energy of the arrow will be equal to the kinetic energy of the bow after it is released i.e., 357 J.
