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}}.

a machine with a mechanical advantage of 2.5 requires an input force of 120 newtons. What output force is applied by this machin
creativ13 [48]
If your machine has a mechanical advantage of 2.5, then WHATEVER force you apply to the input, the force at the output will be 2.5 times as great.

If you apply 1 newton to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 1 newton)  =  2.5 newtons.

If you apply 120 newtons to the machine's input, the output force is

                 (2.5 x 120 newtons)  =  300 newtons.

Two pendulum bobs have equal masses and lengths (8.100 m). bob a is initially held horizontally while bob b hangs vertically at
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h
