The problem about describes a perfectly inelastic collision. We are tasked to find the initial velocity of an object having a mass of 6 kg moving due west. It is given in the problem that after collision the cart sticks together and it stops. Thus, the final mass is the sum of the two cart and the final velocity is zero. For a perfectly inelastic collision,

m1v1-m2v2=vf(m1+m2)
By Substitution,

3(4)-6(v2)=0
6v2=12
v2=2

Therefor, the initial velocity if a 6 kg cart is 2 m/s

A 17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 J. How high is the shelf? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
Free_Kalibri [48]
Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

The graph below shows the velocity of a car over time.
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Calculate the area under the graph.

Explanation:

The distance made during a particular period of time is calculated as (distance in m) = (velocity in m/s) * (time in s)

You can think of such a calculation as determining the area of a rectangle whose sides are velocity and time period. If you make the time period very very small, the rectangle will become a narrow "bar" - a bar with height determined by the average velocity during that corresponding short period of time. The area is, again, the distance made during that time. Now, you can cover the entire area under the curve using such narrow bars. Their areas adds up, approximately, to the total distance made over the entire span of motion. From this you can already see why the answer D is the correct one.

Going even further, one can make the rectangular bars arbitrarily narrow and cover the area under the curve with more and more of these. In fact, in the limit, this is something called a Riemann sum and leads to the definition of the Riemann integral. Using calculus, the area under a curve (hence the distance in this case) can be calculated precisely, under certain existence criteria.

The curved movement of air or water is the result of which of these?
ella [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. the rotation of Earth on its axis

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The Coriolis effect describes how the Earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents. The Coriolis effect causes the motion of a freely moving object to appear as a curve.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, since air and water move freely, the Coriolis effect makes their movement to be curved. This is why the movement of winds and oceans  does not follow a straight line but it is bent and curved.</u></em>
