Answer:
M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum
V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact
V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s
Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign
For each pair Independent variable and the dependent variable is -
a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.
- Independent variable = how far the car has traveled
- dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank
b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.
- Independent variable = How much money you've spent
- dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.
c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by
- Independent variable = how much time went by
- dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled
An independent variable in any experiment or research is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment, this change leads to a direct effect on the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is a variable that is directly affected by the independent variable and it is the variable that is measured or tested in an experiment.
Thus,
a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.
- Independent variable = how far the car has traveled
- dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank
b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.
- Independent variable = How much money you've spent
- dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.
c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by
- Independent variable = how much time went by
- dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled
