Answer:

V = 6.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

m₁ = 2 kg

m₂ = 18 kg

m₃ = 9 kg

V₁ = 10 m/s

V₂ = 8 m/s

V₃ = 2 m/s

__________

V - ?

Let us write the momentum conservation law for an inelastic impact:

m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ = (m₁ +m₂ + m₃) ·V

Cart speed after interaction:

V = ( m₁·V₁ + m₂·V₂ + m₃·V₃ ) / (m₁ +m₂ + m₃)

V = (2·10 + 18·8 + 9·2) / ( 2 + 18 + 9) = 182 / 29 ≈  6.3 m/s

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

V = 0.248 L

Explanation:

To do this, use the following equation:

P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2

This equation is used to find a relation between two differents conditions of a same gas, which is this case. From this equation we can solve for V2.

Solving for V2:

V2 = P1*V1*T2/T1*P2

Temperature must be at Kelvin, so, we have to sum the temperature 273 to convert it in K.

Replacing the data we have:

V2 = 1 * 4.91 * (-196+273) / 5.2 * (20+273)

V2 = 378.07 / 1523.6

V2 = 0.248 L
