Applying the Law of Conservation of Momentum

Physics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
6 0

answer

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

explanation

the conservation of momentum states that the initial and final total momentum are equal

m1v1 + m2v2 for initial momentum

(m1 + m2)v3 for final momentum because both cars stick together so their masses are combined

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3

since the mass of both are the same, m1 = m2

m1v1 + m1v2 = (m1 + m1)v3

m1(v1 + v2) = 2m1v3

divide both sides by m1

v1 + v2 = 2v3

since train car A is initially at rest, v1 = 0

v2 = 2v3

v3 = v2 * 1/2

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

1. How much heat energy ( Q ) is required to heat 2.0 kg of copper from 30.0 oC to 80.0 oC?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 38500 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2 kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 30°C

Final temperature, T2 = 80°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 385 J/Kg°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Mathematically, heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

M represents the mass of an object.

C represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 80 - 30

dt = 50°C

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Q = 2 * 385*50

Heat capacity, Q = 38500 Joules

Two grocery carts have the same initial total momentum. The two carts collide, and now cart B has a greater final velocity.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Cart B has a smaller mass

Explanation:

I may be wrong but if mass is decreased then acceleration increases, and if velocity increases then acceleration increases so my logic is that if mass decreases then velocity increases.
