A diagram labeled Before Collision shows two train cars moving toward each other. The car on the left is labeled m Subscript 1 B

aseline = 600 kilograms and v Subscript 1 Baseline 4 meters per second. The car on the right is labeled m Subscript 2 Baseline = 400 kilograms and v Subscript 2 Baseline negative 2 meters per second. A second drawing labeled After Collision shows two train cars moving away from each other.
Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other.

(a) The total momentum of the system before the train cars collide is 1,600 kgm/s.

(b) The total momentum of the system be after the train cars collide is 1,600 kgm/s.

<h3>What is the total momentum of the car system before the collision?</h3>

The total momentum of the car system before the collision is determined by applying the formula for linear momentum.

Pi = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

where;

  • m₁ is the mass of the car on the right
  • m₂ is the mass of the car on the left
  • u₁ is the initial velocity of the right
  • u₂ is the initial velocity of the car on the left

Let the rightward direction = positive

Let the leftward direction = negative

Pi = (600 kg x 4 m/s)  +  (400 kg) x (-2 m/s)

Pi = 2,400 kgm/s  -  800 kgm/s

Pi = 1,600 kgm/s

Based on the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of the initial momentum of an isolated system is <u>equal</u> to the sum of the final momentum of the system

Pf = Pi = 1,600 kgm/s.

PLEASE HURRYYYY!!!<br><br> Explain how you read measurements in a graduated cylinder?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....

hope it helps....

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Briefly describe the three phases of self-regulation.<br> _PSYCHOLOGY_
Zinaida [17]

Phase 1. Forethought/preaction—This phase precedes the actual performance; sets the stage for action; maps out the tasks to minimize the unknown; and helps to develop a positive mindset. Realistic expectations can make the task more appealing. Goals must be set as specific outcomes, arranged in order from short-term to long-term. We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>When will they start?Where will they do the work?How will they get started?<span>What conditions will help or hinder their learning activities are a part of this phase?
</span></span>

Phase 2. Performance control—This phase involves processes during learning and the active attempt to utilize specific strategies to help a student become more successful.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Are students accomplishing what they hoped to do?Are they being distracted?Is this taking more time than they thought?Under what conditions do they accomplish the most?What questions can they ask themselves while they are working?<span>How can they encourage themselves to keep working (including self-talk—come on, get your work done so you can watch that television show or read your magazine!)
</span></span>

Phase 3. Self-reflection—This phase involves reflection after the performance, a self-evaluation of outcomes compared to goals.

We have to ask students to consider the following:

<span>Did they accomplish what they planned to do?Were they distracted and how did they get back to work?Did they plan enough time or did they need more time than they thought?<span>Under what conditions did they accomplish the most work. 
Hope this helps!!!!!

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire have a current flowing to the right. In which direct
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.
