Hello!
A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision
We have the following data¹:
ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 5 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 0 m/s
Solving:
ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB
ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s
ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)
We have the following data²:
ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 0 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 10 m/s
Solving:
Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB
Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s
Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)
*** Then, which principle explains the result ?
Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>
Note: Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.
Answer:
B) law of conservation of momentum

Answer: 20.21 kg
Explanation:
The mass hanging from the pulley is pulling the cart. The force by which cart is being pulled is equal to weight of the hanging mass.
⇒F=0.200 kg ×9.8 m/s²=1.96 N
Since there is no other force acting on the cart and there is no friction, so this force will pull the cart.
The Cart covers 1.12 m distance in 4.8 s.
From the equation of motion,
s = u t + 0.5 × a t²
We will find the acceleration of the cart,
Distance covered, s = 1.12 m
Initial velocity, u = 0 ( staring from rest)
Time taken, t = 4.8 s
⇒1.12 m = 0 + 0.5 × a × (4.8 s)²
⇒a = 0.097 m/s²
Now the force which causes this acceleration is:
F = ma
where m is the mass of the cart and a is the acceleration of the cart
⇒1.96 N = m×0.097 m/s²
⇒m = 20.21 kg
Hence, the mass of the cart is 20.21 kg.
