An object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and with the same speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs. The strength of the force is related to the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
Answer:
<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum
</u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:
P = P'
In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

The common velocity after this situation is:

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
Answer:
W = 0.135 N
Explanation:
Given:
- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)
- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N
- Attached weight = W
Find:
The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.
Solution:
The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:
y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)
Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency
Hence,
k = 172 and w = 2730
- Calculate wave speed V:
V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s
- Tension in the string T:
T = Y*V^2
where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.
- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:
T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2
W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2
W = 0.135 N
consider the motion along the X-direction
X = horizontal displacement = 80 m
= initial velocity along the x-direction = v Cos60
t = time of travel
using the equation
X =
t
80 = (v Cos60) (t)
t = 160/v eq-1
consider the motion in vertical direction :
Y = vertical displacement = 20 m
= initial velocity in Y-direction = v Sin60
a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel = 160/v
using the equation
Y =
t + (0.5) a t²
20 = (v Sin60) (160/v) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (160/v)²
v = 32.5 m/s
