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.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        k = 130 N/m,       \Delta x = 17 cm = 0.17 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

     mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

             Energy = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So,    \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

   \frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}

          v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}

                     = 1.34

                v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

           Frictional force = \mu \times mg

                                    = 0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8

                                    = 4.116 N

Also,  Kinetic energy = work done by friction

           \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d

           \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d

             1.8515 = 4.116 \times d

                 d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.

A raft with the area A , thickness= h and the mass 600 kg, Floats in still water with 7 cm
elena55 [62]

<span>In this problem, we need to solve for Bubba’s mass. To do this, we let A be the area of the raft and set the weight of the displaced fluid with the raft alone as ρwAd1g and ρwAd2g with the person on the raft, </span>where ρw is the density of water, d1 = 7cm, and d2= 8.4 cm. Set the weight of displaced fluid equal to the weight of the floating objects to eliminate A and ρw then solve for m.

<span>ρwAd1g = Mg</span>

ρw<span>Ad2g = (M + m) g</span>

<span>d2∕d1 = (M + m)/g</span>

m = [(d2<span>∕d1)-1] M = [(8.4 cm/7.0 cm) - 1] (600 kg) =120 kg</span>

This means that Bubba’s mass is 120 kg.

The average velocity of blood flowing in a certain 4-mm-diameter artery in the human body is 0.28 m/s. The viscosity and density
OLga [1]

Answer:

V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the blood in the artery can be given by the following formula:

V = Av

where,

V = Volume flow rate = ?

A = cross-sectional area of artery = πd²/4 = π(0.004 m)²/4 = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ m²

v = velcoity = 0.28 m/s

Therefore,

V = (1.26\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m^2)(0.28\ m/s)

<u>V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s</u>
