Cart A and cart B are traveling in the same direction on a straight track. Cart A is moving at 9.25 m/s and cart B is moving at

7.15 m/s. The mass of cart A is 72.0 kg and the mass of cart B is 55.0 kg. Cart A catches up to and collides with cart B. After they collide, cart A slows down to 6.15 m/s. Find the final speed of cart B.

Answer:

The speed of cart B is 11.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cart A = 9.25 m/s

Speed of cart B = 7.15 m/s

Mass of cart A = 72.0 kg

Mass of cart B = 55.0 kg

Speed of card A after collision = 6.15 m/s

We need to calculate the speed of cart B

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{A}v_{A}+m_{B}v_{B}=m_{A}v_{A}+m_{B}v_{B}$

Put the value into the formula

$72.0\times9.25+55.0\times7.15=72.0\times6.15+55.0\times v_{B}$

$v_{B}=\dfrac{72.0\times9.25+55.0\times7.15-72.0\times6.15}{55.0}$

$v_{B}=11.21\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of cart B is 11.21 m/s.

Answer:

$P = 1.09 \times 10^8 Pa$

Explanation:

As we know that the pressure inside the liquid level is given as

$P = \rho g h + P_o$

here we have

$\rho = 1024 kg/m^3$

h = 10.9 km

also we know that

$P_o = 1.01 \times 10^5 Pa$

now we have

$P = (1.01 \times 10^5) + (1024)(9.81)(10.9 \times 10^3)$

$P = 1.09 \times 10^8 Pa$

Answer:

a) mass of unknown nucleus = 0.04245 mp, where mp is the proton mass

b) Speed of the unknown nucleus = (7.067 x 10^7) m/s

Explanation:

Considering the initial conditions, the observed collisions are ellastic, i.e, the total kinetic energy are conserved. The proton's mass will refer as $m_{p}$ .

(a)

Total kinetic energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_0}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_o}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p_f}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{u}v_{u_f}^{2}$

where $v_{u_o}$ represents the initial velocity of the unknown element, $m_{u}$ the mass of the unknown element, and $v_{u_f}$ the final velocity of the unknown element

Linear momentum conservation

$m_{p}v_{p_0}+m_{u}v_{u_o}=m_{p}v_{p_f}+m_{u}v_{u_f}$

Using the initial speed of the target nucleus (unknown) is negligible, i.e, its speed is zero. Thereby, using the relation of linear momentum conservation given above, it is possible to find an expression of the final speed of the unknown nucleus in terms of its mass, which can be inserted in the relation of the kinetic energy conservation to obtain the value of the mass of the unknown elements, as follows;

$m_{u}v_{u_f}=m_{p}v_{p_0}-m_{p}v_{p_f}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}$

Substituting this expression in the relation of total kinetic energy conservation,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}v^{2}_{u}_{f}$

Then,

$m_{p}(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})={m_{u}}\frac{m^{2}_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{m^{2}_{u}}\\\\m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})^{2}}{(v^{2}_{p_0}-v^{2}_{p_f})}$

Replacing the given data

$m_{u}= \frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})^{2}}{((3.6x10^{7})^{2}-(3.3x10^{7})^{2})}$

Then,

$m_{u}=0.04245m_{p}$

(b) Using the relation of the final speed from linear momentum conservation and the above result, the speed of the unknown nucleus is calculated

$v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(v_{p_0}-v_{p_f})}{m_{u}}\\\\v_{u_f}=\frac{m_{p}(3.6x10^{7}-3.3x10^{7})}{0.04245m_{p}}\\\\v_{u_f}=7.067x10^{7} m/s$
