0.51 m/s to the right.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The two carts lock together. As a result, the collision is inelastic. Kinetic energy will not conserve. Still, momentum conserves.

What's the momentum <em>p</em> of the two carts?

Before the collisions:

  • p_1 = m_1 \cdot v_1 = 0.180 \times 0.80 = 0.144 \; \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-1};
  • p_2 = m_2 \cdot v_2 = 0.
  • Sum of momentum: p = p_1 + p_2 = 0.144\; \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-1}.

Momentum conserves. As a result, p(\text{after collision}) = p(\text{before collision}) = 0.144 \; \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-1}

Velocity is the same for the two carts after the collision. Let v denote that velocity.

p(\text{after collision}) = m_1\cdot v+ m_2 \cdot v = (m_1 + m_2) \cdot v.

v = \dfrac{p(\text{after collision})}{m_1 + m_2} \\ \phantom{v} = \dfrac{0.144}{0.180 + 0.100} \\ \phantom{v} = 0.51 \; \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-1}.

Direction of the movement will stay the same. Both cars are now moving to the right.

1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C
