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.

A ball is thrown upward from an initial height of 1.5m the ball reaches a height of 5m then falls to the ground . What Is the di
jeka94

Answer:

The distance traveled by the ball is 8.5 m

Explanation:

Initial height of the ball, h₁ = 1.5 m above the ground

final height of the ball, h₂ = 5m

Upward distance = distance traveled by the ball from a height of 1.5m to 5m = 5m - 1.5m = 3.5 m

Downward distance = distance traveled by the ball from 5m height to the ground =5m - 0 = 5m

Total distance traveled = upward distance + downward distance

Total distance traveled = 3.5 m + 5m = 8.5 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the ball is 8.5 m

Which of the following creates an adhesive force that prevents separation of the parietal and visceral pleurae during ventilatio
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Negative intrapleural pressure is the correct answer

Explanation:

Intrapleural pressure is more subatmospheric in the uppermost part of the thorax than in the lowermost parts in the standing horse.

Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure.  Therefore, for air to be moved into or out of the lungs, a pressure difference between the atmosphere and the alveoli must be established. If there is no pressure difference, no airflow will occur.

Under normal circumstances, inspiration is accomplished by causing alveolar pressure to fall below atmospheric pressure. When the mechanics of breathing are being discussed, atmospheric pressure is conventionally referred to as 0 cm H2O, so lowering alveolar pressure below atmospheric pressure is known as negative-pressure breathing.

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?
Neko [114]
Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
