The speed of cart b is 6m/s while the total momentum of the systmen is 4200 kg m/s

<h3>Conservation of Linear Momentum</h3>

Given Data

  • Mass of cart one M1  = 150kg
  • Initial Velocity U1 = 8m/s
  • Final VelocityV1 = 5 m/s

Mass of cart two M2  = 150kg

Velocity U2 = 6m/s

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum we have

M1U1+M2U2 = M1V1+ M2V2

a. what is the speed of cart b after collision

substituting our given data we have

150*8+ 150*6 = 150*5+150*V2

1200 + 900 = 1200+ 150V2

2100 - 1200 = 150V2

900 = 150V2

Divide both sides by 150

V2 = 900/150

V2 = 6m/s

b. what is the total momentum of the system before and after collision

Total Momentum in the system is

Total momentum = Momentum before Impact+ Momentum after Impact

Total momentum = M1U1+M2U2 + M1V1+ M2V2

Total momentum = 1200 + 900 + 1200+ 900

Total momentum = 4200 kg m/s

Determine the mass of fuel required for the expected energy consumption in the United States for the next 10 years:
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(This will depend on the type of fuel, I will assume that the fuel is petrol)

First, let's find the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years.

We know that in one year, a person consumes 3.5*10^11 joules.

There are 310,000,00 people on the US

Then the total consumption in one year is:

310,000,000*3.5*10^11 joules = 1.085*10^20 J

In 10 years the consumption is 10 times the consumption of a single year, then the expected energy consumption in the US for the next 10 years is:

10*1.085*10^20 J = 1.085*10^21 J

Now let's find the mass of fuel required.

We know that a liter of petrol has 31,536,000 joules of energy,

And a liter of petrol weights 0.75 kg

To find the number of liters of petrol that we need, we need to find the quotient between the expected energy consumption in the next 10 years and the energy of a single liter of petrol, this is:

N = (1.085*10^20 J)/(31,536,000 j) = 3.44*10^13

We will need  3.44*10^13 liters of petrol.

And the total mass of petrol will be:

M = 3.44*10^13*0.75 kg = 2.58*10^13 kg of fuel.

If you were standing at the center of curvature in front of a concave mirror, what image would be projected?
Romashka [77]
When you stand at the center of curvature in front of a concave mirror, the image created will be formed at the center of curvature also, but it will be inverted. The image formed will be real, and will have the same size as you.

A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's hand with a sp
dusya [7]

from the question you can see that some detail is missing, using search engines i was able to get a similar question on "https://www.slader.com/discussion/question/a-student-throws-a-water-balloon-vertically-downward-from-the-top-of-a-building-the-balloon-leaves-t/"

here is the question : A student throws a water balloon vertically downward from the top of a building. The balloon leaves the thrower's hand with a speed of 60.0m/s. Air resistance may be ignored,so the water balloon is in free fall after it leaves the throwers hand. a) What is its speed after falling for 2.00s? b) How far does it fall in 2.00s? c) What is the magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m?

Answer:

(A) 26 m/s

(B) 32.4 m

(C) v = 15.4 m/s

Explanation:

initial speed (u) = 6.4 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (a) = 9.9 m/s^[2}

time (t) = 2 s

(A)   What is its speed after falling for 2.00s?

  from the equation of motion v = u + at we can get the speed

v = 6.4 + (9.8 x 2) = 26 m/s

(B) How far does it fall in 2.00s?

  from the equation of motion s=ut+0.5at^{2} we can get the distance covered

s = (6.4 x 2) + (0.5 x 9.8 x 2 x 2)

s = 12.8 + 19.6 = 32.4 m

c) What is the magnitude of its velocity after falling 10.0m?

from the equation of motion below we can get the velocity

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\\v^{2} = 6.4^{2} + (2x9.8x10)\\V^{2} = 236.96\\v = \sqrt{236.96}

v = 15.4 m/s
