Because the coefficient of friction depends on the surface

ZanzabumX [31]

Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
Before the collision:
Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
After the collision
velocity = 0.25m / s
1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
0.25 * (1 + 1) =
0.25 * 2 =
0.50
Now new momentum will be 0.5
answer
the same before and after the collision

How can you be both at rest and also moving at 100,000 km/h at the same time

4vir4ik [10]

You could be lying completley still on your bed, and all though it seems you are at rest, you are moving along with the earth around the sun and hence are motion. This is why 'being at rest' is more of a relative term. Hope this helps!

A constant force of magnitude F acts on an object of mass 0.04kg initially at rest at a point O. If the speed of the object when

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

F = 100 Newtons

Explanation:

F = ?

m = 0.04kg

u = 0m/s ==> u is just an abbreviation for initial velocity, it is conventional.

s = 50m ==> s is just an abbreviation for distance, it is conventional.

v = 500m/s ==> v is just an abbreviation for final velocity, it is conventional.

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\\\\=> a = \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2s}\\a = \frac{500^{2} }{2*50}\\a = 2500ms^{-2}$

Then F = ma = 0.04 x 2500 = 100N

9. A Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table. How long does it take to hit the floor if no one sneezes? Wh

Paha777 [63]

By Considering the vertical distance and both vertical and horizontal final velocity, the time t = 0.45 s and Velocity V = 6.7 m/s

Given that a Veggie meatball with v = 5.0 m/s rolls off a 1.0 m high table.

Height h = 1.0 m

As the ball rolls off the table, it will be fallen under gravity. Where

g = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

Initial vertical velocity $u_{y}$ = 0

Initial horizontal velocity $u_{x}$ = 5 m/s

Considering the vertical distance, the formula to use to calculate the time will be;

h = ut + 1/2g $t^{2}$

1 = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 $t^{2}$

1 = 4.9 $t^{2}$

$t^{2}$ = 1/4.9

t = $\sqrt{0.204}$

t = 0.45 seconds

It takes 0.45 seconds to hit the floor if no one sneezes.

To calculate its velocity when it hits the floor, we will need to calculate for both vertical and horizontal final velocity and find the resultant velocity of the two.

Vertical component

$V_{y}$ = $U_{y}$ + gt
