Two equal mass carts approach each other with velocities equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Friction can be neglected

. If the carts collide completely inelastically, what will be the final velocity of the combined system?To the left with half the initial velocityNot enough information!0To the right with half the intial velocity

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.

It's nighttime, and you ve dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90 m above the ed
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>

What is the acceleration if velocity increases from 10 m/s to 15m/s after travelling a distance of 5 metre​
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a=1.25m/s²

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA

vi=10m/s

vf=15m/s

S=5m

TO FIND

a=?

SOLUTION

by using third equation of motion

2as=(vf)²-(vi)²

2a(5m)=(15m/s)²-(10m/s)²

10m×a=225m²/s²-100m²/s²

10m×a=125m²/s²

a=\frac{125}{10}

a=12.5m/s²

What’s the answer? Will give brainliest
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D

Explanation:

Fussion: means combine 2 light nucleus to form heavier nucleus.

Fission: means splitting heavy nucleus to form lighter nucleus.

In the figure we can see two light nucleus that combine to form heavier nucleus, so the answer is nuclear fussion.
