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

List and describe three biological applications of electricity
mihalych1998 [28]

Before we dive into how electricity is used around the home it is worth putting household electricity use in perspective.

Household electricity use generally makes up about a third of total electricity consumption  in most developed nations.  Using data from the European Union we can give an example of how electricity demand is split among different sectors.

What factor might be contributing to climate change
kirza4 [7]

Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large variations in Earth’s past climate. These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.

However, comprehensive assessment by scientists shows that it is extremely likely that human activity has been the dominant cause of warming since the mid-20th Century.

A lamp in a child's Halloween costume flashes based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective dura
pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 0.199 J

B. 0.0663 C

C = 0.0221 F

D. 12.68 ohms

Explanation:

From the question:

time duration, t = 0.28 seconds

Average power, P = 0.71 W

Average voltage, V = 3 V

A) Energy is given as:

E = P * t

=> E = 0.71 * 0.28 = 0.199 J

B) Electrical energy is also given as:

E = qV

where q = charge

=> q = E / V

∴ q = 0.199 / 3 = 0.0663 C

C) Capacitance is given as charge over voltage:

C = q / V

=> C = 0.0663 / 3 = 0.0221 F

D) Electrical power, P, can also be given as:

P = V^2 / R

where R = resistance

=> R = V^2 / P

R = 3^2 / 0.71 = 9 / 0.71 = 12.68 ohms
