Two carts undergo an inelastic collision where they stick together. Cart A has an initial velocity v0, and the second cart B is

initially at rest. After the collision, it is observed that the ratio of the final kinetic energy system to its initial kinetic energy is KfK0= 1/6. Determine the ratio of the carts' masses, mBmA. (Assume the track is frictionless.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of the system = 1/2 mA v0²

If Vf be the final velocity of both the carts

applying conservation of momentum

final velocity

Vf = mAvo / ( mA +mB)

kinetic energy ( final ) =  1/2 (mA +mB)mA²vo² /  ( mA +mB)²

= mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB)

Given 1/2 mA v0²  / mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB) = 6

mA v0² x ( mA +mB) / mA²vo² = 6

( mA +mB) / mA = 6

mA + mB = 6 mA

5 mA = mB

mB / mA = 5 .

Which object has more momentum?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

4. A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exer
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.61°

Explanation:

Since the box move at constant velocity, it means there is no acceleration then we can say it has a balanced force system.

Pulling force= resistance force

From the formula for pulling force,

F(x)= Fcos(θ)

= 425×cos(35.2)

=347N

The force exerted downward at an angle of 35.2° below the horizontal= Fsin(θ)= 425sin(35.2)

=425×0.567=245N

Resistance force= (325N+ 245N) (α)= 570N(α)

We can now equates the pulling force to resistance force

570 (α)= 347N

(α)= 347/570

= 0.61
