In a collision between two unequal masses, which mass receives a greater magnitude impulse?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart

mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

as we know that

$m_1 = 5 kg$

$m_2 = 2 kg$

$v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0 m/s$

now from above equation we have

$5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v$

$14 = (5+ 2) v$

$v = 2 m/s$

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

Which is not true of the Intertropical Convergence Zone?A) It features heavy precipitation B) It's where the trade winds collide

olasank [31]

<h2>Answer: C) It's a high-pressure zone with sinking air</h2>

Explanation:

The intertropical convergence zone is the region of the terrestrial globe where the trade winds of the northern hemisphere converge with those of the southern hemisphere.

It is characterized by being <u>a belt of low pressure</u> and inconsistent location around the equator constituted by ascending air currents, where large masses of warm and humid air converge from the north and south of the intertropical zone.

The reason of its inconsistent location is due to the movements of the Earth with the seasons, having as a consequence the amount variation of heat energy from the sun in this region.

What net force acting on a 14 KG wagon produces an acceleration of 1.5 MS^2?

valentina_108 [34]

21N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon = 14kg

Acceleration = 1.5m/s²

Unknown:

Net force on wagon = ?

Solution:

Force is a pull or push on a body that causes a body to change its state. It is expressed as:

Force = mass x acceleration

Force on wagon = 14 x 1.5 = 21N
