Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the shopping cart,
Initial speed of the shopping cart,
Mass of the box,
Initial speed of the box, (at rest)
They stick together and continue moving at a new velocity. It is a case of inelastic collision.
(a) The momentum of the shopping cart before the collision is given by :
(b) The momentum of the box before the collision is given by :
(c) The velocity of the combined shopping cart/box wreckage after the collision is given by using the conservation of momentum as :
Hence, this is the required solution.
There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors).
A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity.
Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.
When it’s about to be dropped
Slope of a curve Y plotted against X is mathematically given as
now here we can see that if similarly graph is plotted against distance and time then slope is given as
here we can say that above is ratio of small distance and very small interval of time.
so here we can say that this ratio of distance and time for very small interval of time is known as instantaneous speed of the object which is falling freely under gravity.
So here slope of the graph will represent the speed at a given instant.
