The momentum, in the x-direction, that was transferred to the more massive cart after the collision is 19.38 kgm/s.

<h3>Momentum transfered to the more massive cart</h3>

The momentum transfered to the more massive cart is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum as shown below;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

  • m₁ is the mass of the smaller cart
  • u₁ is the initial velocity of the samller cart
  • m₂ is the mass of the bigger cart = 3m₁
  • u₂ is the initial velocity of the bigger cart
  • v₁ is the final velocity of the smaller cart
  • v₂ is the final veocity of the bigger cart

⁻ΔP₁ = ΔP₂

ΔP₂ = m₂v₂ - m₂u₂

ΔP₂ = m₂(v₂ - u₂)

ΔP₂ = 3m₁(v₂ - u₂)

ΔP₂ = 3 x 3.8 x (1.7 - 0)

ΔP₂ = 19.38 kgm/s

Thus, the momentum, in the x-direction, that was transferred to the more massive cart after the collision is 19.38 kgm/s.

The complete question is beblow

A cart of mass 3.8 kg is traveling to the right (which we will take to be the positive x-direction for this problem) at a speed of 6.9 m/s. It collides with a stationary cart that is three times as massive. After the collision, the more massive cart is moving at a speed of 1.7 m/s, to the right.

The average speed of a nitrogen molecule in air is about 6.70×102 m/s, and its mass is 4.68×10-26 kg.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

a)   a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s , b)    F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N, c)    F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Explanation:

This exercise will average solve using the moment relationship.

a ) let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

          I = ∫ F dt = Δp

          F t = m v_{f} - m v₀

          F = m (v_{f} -v₀o) / t

 in the exercise indicates that the speed module is the same, but in the opposite direction

          F = m (-2v) / t

if we use Newton's second law

          F = m a

we substitute

            - 2 mv / t = m a

            a = - 2 v / t

let's calculate

            a = - 2 4.59 10²/3 10⁻¹³

            a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s

b)      F= m a

        F= 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

        F= 1.43  10⁻¹⁰ N

c) if we hit the wall for 1015 each exerts a force F

            F_total = n F

            F_total = n m a

            F_total = 10¹⁵  4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵

            F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N

Free_Kalibri [48]
It will be 49 Newtons of force in the down direction. To find the force in newtons, you multiply the mass (5 kg) by the gravity (which if 9.8).
