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.

Which of the following has the largest momentum?

san4es73 [151]

Momentum = mass x velocity

Thus Option A is the correct answer

Momentum (dog) = 10 kg x (0.447 x 30) m/s

= 134.1 Kg m/s

Momentum ( bullet) = 0.02 kg x (0.447 x 800) m/s

= 7.152 Kg m/s

Momentum ( truck) = 0, as v = 0

tightrope has both low mass and low speed, thus its momentum will be low

What is the magnetic flux density (B-field) at a distance of 0.36 m from a long, straight wire carrying a current of 3.8 A in ai

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 0.36 m

Current = 3.8 A

We need to calculate the magnetic flux density

Using formula of magnetic field

$B =\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2r}$

Where,

r = radius

I = current

Put the value into the formula

$B =\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times3.8}{2\times\pi\times0.36}$

$B=2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$

Hence, The magnetic flux density is $2.11\times10^{-6}\ T$
