A 50 kg woman, riding on a 10 kg cart, is moving east at 5.0 m/s. the woman jumps off the cart and hits the ground running at 7.

0 m/s, eastward, relative to the ground. calculate the velocity of the cart after she jumps off.

To answer this question, we will use the law of conservation of momentum which states that:
(m1+m2)Vi = m1V1 + m2V2 where:
m1 is the mass of the woman = 50 kg
m2 is the mass of the cart = 10 kg
Vi is the initial velocity (of woman and cart combined) = 5 m/sec
V1 is the final velocity of the woman = 7 m/sec
V2 is the final velocity of the cart that we need to calculate

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the final velocity of the cart as follows:
(50+10)(5) = (50)(7) + (10)V2
10V2 = -50
V2 = -5 m/sec
Note that the negative sign indicates that the cart is moving in an opposite direction to the others.

Explain the statement: “Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.”
babymother [125]

All living things are made up of cells.  Each cell's individual function helps the organism collectively function.  They are the most basic as they can be self-contained.  And there is no other particle smaller that can function on it's own.

A bullet of mass 120g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20m\s. The bullet is brought to rest in a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m
