Um of momenta = 0( Since both the cars stop) 
<span>Let m1 be the mass of the cadillac and m2 be the mass of the volkswagen. </span>
<span>then, v1=speed of cadillac and v2=speed of volkswagen. </span>
<span>Therefore, (m1)*(v1) + (m2)*(v2) = 0 </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>(1000*4) + (2000*v2) = 0 </span>
<span>4000 = - 2000 v2 </span>
<span>Therefore, v2= - 2 m/s. </span>

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of a hill, starting from rest. If th

Answer:

A(3.56m)

Explanation:

We have a conservation of energy problem here as well. Potential energy is being converted into linear kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy.

We are given ω= 4.27rad/s, so v = ωr, which is 6.832 m/s. Place your coordinate system at top of the hill so E initial is 0.

Ef= Ug+Klin+Krot= -mgh+1/2mv^2+1/2Iω^2

Since it is a solid uniform disk I= 1/2MR^2, so Krot will be 1/4Mv^2(r^2ω^2=  v^2).

Ef= -mgh+3/4mv^2

Since Ef=Ei=0

Mgh=3/4mv^2

gh=3/4v^2

h=0.75v^2/g

plug in givens to get h= 3.57m

two forces equal in magnitude and opposite in direction act at the same point on an object. is it possible for there to be a net
elena55 [62]

If the forces are equal, at a distance equidistant it is not possible to act a pair on the body since both torques cancel each other. Being of the same magnitude and in the opposite direction, the sum of the torques will be zero.

The field of a solenoid is most like the field of a: long, straight wire single bar magnet horseshoe magnet single pole
user100 [1]
The outside magnetic field of a solenoid is similar to that of a bar magnet even though the inside field is strong and uniform.
