Cart 1 has an initial velocity and hits cart 2 which is stationary. after a perfectly inelastic collision, the combined carts ar

e traveling with exactly one third the initial velocity of cart 1, and in the same direction. which is correct about the mass of cart 2? the mass of cart 2 must be twice the mass of cart 1. the mass of cart 2 must have decreased during the collision. the mass of cart 2 must be one third the mass of cart 1. the mass of cart 2 must be the same as the mass of cart 1.

Option(a)  the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1  is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

The distance traveled by an object can be modeled by the equation d = ut + 0.5at2 where d = distance, u = initial velocity, t =
Taya2010 [7]
We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a bertical building 25.0m above the ground level with an initial velocity of 8.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Solution given:

height [H]=25m

initial velocity [u]=8.25m/s

g=9.8m/s

now;

a. How long is the ball in flight before striking the ground?

Time of flight =?

Now

Time of flight=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

substituting value

  • =\sqrt{\frac{2*25}{9.8}}
  • =2.26seconds

<h3><u>the ball is in flight before striking the ground for 2.26seconds</u>.</h3>

b. How far from the building does the ball strike the ground?

<u>H</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>i</u><u>z</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u> </u>range=?

we have

Horizontal range=u*\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

  • =8.25*2.26
  • =18.63m

<h3><u>The ball strikes 18.63m far from building</u>. </h3>

Calculate the mass of an object with a density of 102.5 g/mL and volume of 375 mL.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

38,437.5

Explanation:

Density(d)= 102.5g/ml

Volume (v)=375ml

Mass(m) = ?

D =m/v

102.5= m/375

102.5*375=m

38,437.5=m

therefore Mass = 38,437.5g/ml.
