4 0

Answer:

The combined velocity is 0 units per unit time.

Explanation:

Let 'v' be the magnitude of the velocities of both the carts. Let the combined velocity of both the carts after collision be 'V'.

Let their masses be 'm'

Now, as per question, velocity of one cart is opposite to that of the other.

If velocity of one cart is v, then the velocity of the other car is -v

Since, the collision is completely inelastic, both the carts will stick together and move with same velocity after the collision.

If friction is neglected then the linear momentum is conserved as there is no external force acting on both the carts along their motion.

Therefore, initial momentum is equal to final momentum.

Initial momentum before collision is given as:

p_i=mv+m(-v)\\p_i=mv-mv=0

Therefore, initial momentum is 0. So, final momentum should also be 0. This gives,

p_f=0\\(m+m)V=0\\2mV=0\\\textrm{ As the mass can't be 0 }, \\\therefore V=0

Therefore, the final combined velocity after collision is 0.

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

       i.e Normal \ Force(N)  = mg cos \theta

And \theta = 90 so

           N = 0

c

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position        

d

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work

What is the gauge pressure of the water right at the point p, where the needle meets the wider chamber of the syringe? neglect t
Helen [10]

Missing details: figure of the problem is attached.

We can solve the exercise by using Poiseuille's law. It says that, for a fluid in laminar flow inside a closed pipe,

\Delta P =  \frac{8 \mu L Q}{\pi r^4}

where:

\Delta P is the pressure difference between the two ends

\mu is viscosity of the fluid

L is the length of the pipe

Q=Av is the volumetric flow rate, with A=\pi r^2 being the section of the tube and v the velocity of the fluid

r is the radius of the pipe.

We can apply this law to the needle, and then calculating the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. For our problem, we have:

\mu=0.001 Pa/s is the dynamic water viscosity at 20^{\circ}

L=4.0 cm=0.04 m

Q=Av=\pi r^2 v= \pi (1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)^2 \cdot 10 m/s =3.14 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3/s

and r=1 mm=0.001 m

Using these data in the formula, we get:

\Delta P = 3200 Pa

However, this is the pressure difference between point P and the end of the needle. But the end of the needle is at atmosphere pressure, and therefore the gauge pressure (which has zero-reference against atmosphere pressure) at point P is exactly 3200 Pa.

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and
STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

here we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times

also we know that

r_1 = 10 Ly

now we will have

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}

r_2 = 60 Ly

so other star is at distance 60 Light years

In a milkans apparatus,an oil drop of weight 2.0×10^-15kg accquires two surplus electrons. when a Potential difference of 620 vo
andriy [413]

Answer:

r = 9.92 mm

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oil drop, m=2\times 10^{-15}\ kg

It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e =3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Potential difference, V = 620 V

Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.

We need to find the distance between the plates.

At equilibrium,

mg = qE

Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

mg=\dfrac{qV}{r}\\\\r=\dfrac{qV}{mg}\\\\r=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 620}{2\times 10^{-15}\times 10}\\\\=0.00992\ m\\\\=9.92\ mm

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.
