A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W

hen a compressed spring attached to one of the carts is released, the carts are pushed apart. After the spring is released, the speed of cart B is 6.0 meters per second, as represented in the diagram belowWhat is the speed of cart A after the spring is released?

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>

You create a ramp using two text books and a 0.50m board. Using a timer you determine that a cart can roll down the ramp in 0.55
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s, and the acceleration would be 3.30m/s^2.

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity to be zero, we can obtain the velocity at the bottom of the ramp using the kinematics equations:

v=v_0+at\\\\v^2=v_0^2+2ad

Dividing the second equation by the first one, we obtain:

v=\frac{v_0^2+2ad}{v_0+at}

And, since v_0=0, then:

v=\frac{2ad}{at}\\\\v=\frac{2d}{t}\\\\v=\frac{2(0.50m)}{0.55s}\\\\v=1.81m/s

It means that the velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 1.81m/s.

We could use this data, plus any of the two initial equations, to determine the acceleration:

v=v_0+at\\\\\implies a=\frac{v}{t}\\\\a=\frac{1.81m/s}{0.55s}\\\\a=3.30m/s^2

So the acceleration is 3.30m/s^2.

a. 2.00kg object is subject to three force that gives acceleration a =8m/s^2 i +6m/s j if two of three forces are f1 =(30.0N)+(1
tekilochka [14]

By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>

∑ <em>F</em> = (2.00 kg) (8 <em>i</em> + 6 <em>j</em> ) m/s^2 = (16.0 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N

Let <em>f</em> be the unknown force. Then

∑ <em>F</em> = (30.0 <em>i</em> + 16 <em>j</em> ) N + (-12.0 <em>i</em> + 8.0 <em>j</em> ) N + <em>f</em>

=>   <em>f</em> = (-2.0 <em>i</em> - 12.0 <em>j</em> ) N

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) =  2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s

Anna drives north at a speed of 50 km/h for the first hour. Then, she drives north for a second hour but slows down to 30 km/h.
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is A The distance is greater in the first hour because her speed is faster.

Explanation:

During the first hour, Anna is driving at a speed of 50 km/h. During the second hour, she is only driving at a speed of 30 km/h. The faster she goes, the farther she will go.

Hope this helps,
