For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

A woman throws a javelin 35 mph at an angle 30 degrees from the ground. Neglecting wind resistance or the height the javelin thr
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

35 mph

Explanation:

The key of this problem lies in understanding the way that projectile motion works as we are told to neglect the height of the javelin thrower and wind resistance.

When the javelin is thown, its velocity will have two components: a x component and a y component. The only acceleration that will interact with the javelin after it was thown will be the gravety, which has a -y direction. This means that the x component of the velocity will remain constant, and only the y component will be affected, and can be described with the constant acceleration motion properties.

When an object that moves in constant acceleration motion, the time neccesary for it to desaccelerate from a velocity v to 0, will be the same to accelerate the object from 0 to v. And the distance that the object will travel in both desaceleration and acceleration will be exactly the same.

So, when the javelin its thrown, it willgo up until its velocity in the y component reaches 0. Then it will go down, and it will reach reach the ground in the same amount of time it took to go up and, therefore, with the same velocity.

A crane raises a crate with a mass of 150 kg to a height of 20 m. Given that
Virty [35]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 29,400 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position. It is the product of mass, height, and acceleration due to gravity.

E_P= m \times g \times h

The object has a mass of 150 kilograms and is raised to a height of 20 meters. Since this is on Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per square second.

  • m= 150 kg
  • g= 9.8 m/s²
  • h= 20 m

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_p= 150 \ kg \times 9.8 \ m/s^2 \times 20 \ m

Multiply the three numbers and their units together.

E_p=1470 \ kg*m/s^2 \times 20 m

E_p=29400 \ kg*m^2/s^2

Convert the units.

1 kilogram meter square per second squared (1 kg *m²/s²) is equal to 1 Joule (J). Our answer of 29,400 kg*m²/s² is equal to 29,400 Joules.

E_p= 29,400 \ J

The crate has <u>29,400 Joules</u> of potential energy.

Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar. Assume that the mass of the bar is negligible. Block 1 is locate
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Incomplete question: The masses of the blocks m₂ = 1.5 kg and m₃ = 2 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

L₁ = length = 0.85 m

L₂ = 0.25 m

L₃ = 0.5 m

m₂ = 1.5 kg

m₃ = 2 kg

Question: Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar, m₁ = ?

The torque is zero (intermediate point of the bar)

-m_{1} gL_{1} +m_{2} gL_{2} +m_{3} gL_{3} =0

Is negative because mass 1 is to the left of the coordinate system (see the diagram)

m_{1} =\frac{m_{2} gL_{2}+m_{3} gL_{3}  }{L_{1} } =\frac{(1.5*0.25)+(2*0.5)}{0.85} =1.6176kg
