Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
 Before the collision:
 Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
 After the collision
 velocity = 0.25m / s
 1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
 0.25 * (1 + 1) =
 0.25 * 2 =
 0.50
 Now new momentum will be 0.5

The momentum of the system of two cars after the collision will be \boxed{0.50\text{ kg.m/s}}.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of each of the laboratory car is 1\text{ kg}.

The velocity of the laboratory cart is 0.50\text{ m/s}.

Concept:

The momentum of a body is defined as the amount of motion contained in the body at the particular instant. The momentum of the body is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of the body.

Write the expression for the momentum of the laboratory cart.

p_{1}=m\times{v}                                               ...... (1)

Here, p_1 is the momentum of the cart, m is the amss of the cart and v is the velocity of the cart.

The initial momentum of the laboratory cart which is in motion.

\begin{aligned}p_{i}&=(1\text{ kg})\times{(0.5\text{ m/s})}\\&=0.5\text{ kg.m/s}\end{aligned}

As the cart collides and the surface is frictionless, the momentum of the system will remain conserved after the collision.

The two carts will stick to one another after the collision. So, the mass of the system will be 2\text{ kg} after the collision and the speed of the carts after collision is 0.25\text{ m/s}.

Substitute the value of mass and velocity of the system in the equation of momentum.

\begin{aligned}p'&=(2\text{ kg})\times(0.25\text{ m/s})\\&=0.50\text{ m/s}\end{aligned}

Thus, the momentum of the system of two cars after the collision will be \boxed{0.50\text{ kg.m/s}}.

620 J of heat is added to the cylinder of an engine, which causes the gas inside to expand. As a result, the piston of the engin
Maru [420]

Answer:

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J

Explanation:

The given information are;

The heat added to the cylinder = 620 J

The force applied by the piston of the engine = 8.0 kN = 8,000 N

The distance over which the force moves (the piston) = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

The work done (by the engine) = Force × Distance = 8,000 N × 0.05 m = 400 J

The internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the system

Therefore, given that the internal energy, U, is the sum total of the energy in the system

∴ U = The heat supplied to the system = 620 J

Which gives;

<u>400</u> J work is done BY the engine.

The internal energy of the gas is <u>620</u> J.

When might it be harder to stop a vehicle moving at 30 km/h than one moving at 60 km/h?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

when the momentum of the vehicle moving at 30 km/h is higher than the one from the vehicle moving at 60 km/h

Explanation:

It's much harder to stop a freight truck moving at 30 km/h than a hot wheels car moving at 60 km/h.
