1. (15 points) Small cart is rolling down an inclined track and accelerating. It fires a ball straight out of the cannon as it m

oves. After it is fired, what happens to the ball? Does it fall back to the incline behind the cart, right into the cart or in front of the incline? Explain your reasoning conceptually.

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem can be solved with the conservation of the momentum.

If the ball is fired upward, the momentum before and after the ball is fired must conserve. Hence, the speed of the ball is the same that the speed of the car just in the moment in wich the ball is fired.

Hence, the result depends of the acceleration of the car. If the change in the speed is higher than the speed of the ball, it is probably that the ball will be behind the car or it will come back to the car.

If the ball is fired forward, and if the change in the speed of the car is not enogh, the ball will be in front of the car.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 66 mvs to 26 mvs in 10 seconds. Which describes the
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

negative acceleration of 4m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 66m/s

Final velocity = 26m/s

Time taken = 10s

Unknown:

Description of the acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

    acceleration  = \frac{v - u}{t}

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Acceleration  = \frac{26 - 66}{10}   = -4m/s²

So, we see a negative acceleration of 4m/s²

The law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformation that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bicycle a
Phantasy [73]

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

3349J/kgC

Explanation:

Questions like these are properly handled having this fact in mind;

  • Heat loss = Heat gained

Quantity of heat = mcΔ∅

m = mass of subatance

c = specific heat capacity

Δ∅ = change in temperature

m₁c₁(∅₂-∅₁) = m₂c₂(∅₁-∅₃)

m₁ = mass of block = 500g = 0.5kg

c₁  = specific heat capacity of unknown substance

∅₂ = block initial temperature = 50oC

∅₁ = equilibrium temperature of block and water after mix= 25oC

m₂= mass of water = 2kg

c₂ = specific heat capacity of water = 4186J/kg C

∅₃ = intial temperature of water = 20oC

0.5c₁(50-25) = 2 x 4186(25-20)

And we can find c₁ which is the unknown specific heat capacity

c₁ = \frac{2*4186*5}{0.5*25}= 3348.8J/kg C≅ 3349J/kg C
