Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur

face that is firmly attached to the cart. If the ball bounces straight back as shown in the picture, will the cart be put into motion after the ball bounces back from the surface?
A.Yes, and it moves to the right.
B.Yes, and it moves to the left.
C.No, it remains in place

Answer:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b

Or equivalently:

m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0

Where: V_c represent the speed of the car and V_b the speed of the ball

m_c represent the mass of the car

m_b represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

1. A=3.00m/s  2.m=50kg

Explanation:

1. Use the formula a=f/m

a=300/100

a=3

2.Use the formula m=f/a

m=1000/20

m=50kg

LOOK AT THE PICTURE!! 3 <br> Please answer properly
babunello [35]
The total energy at A, B and C is constant and does not change.

At A, all the energy is potential energy. It gets converted partially to kinetic energy at B and is completely converted to kinetic energy at C. At C, all the energy is kinetic energy.

a steel sphere and brass ring have diameter 25cm and 24.9cm at 15°C.If the sphere and the ring are heated together.what is the t
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to heat energy , metal expands . Formula for linear expansion is as follows .

L = l ( 1 + α Δt )

where L is expanded length , l is original length , α is coefficient of linear expansion and Δt is increase in temperature .

To pass the sphere through the ring , the diameter of both ring and sphere should be same after heating . Let after increase of temperature Δt , their diameter becomes same as L  . The linear coefficient of brass and steel are

20 x 10⁻⁶ and 12 x 10⁻⁶ respectively .

For steel sphere ,

L = 25 ( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

For brass ring

L = 24.9 ( 1 + 20 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

25 ( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt ) = 24.9 ( 1 + 20 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

1.004( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt ) =  ( 1 + 20 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

1.004 + 12.0482 x 10⁻⁶ Δt  =   1 + 20 x 10⁻⁶ Δt

.004 = 7.9518 x 10⁻⁶ Δt

Δt  = 4000 / 7.9518

= 503⁰C.

final temp = 503 + 15 = 518⁰C  .

A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 15 degrees leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at a
9966 [12]

Answer:

The length of the trail = 22796 ft

Explanation:

From the ΔABC

AC = length of the trail = x

AB = 6100 - 600 = 5500 ft

Angle of inclination \theta = 15°

\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

\sin 15 = \frac{5900}{x}

x = \frac{5900}{0.2588}

x = 22796 ft

Since x = AC = Length of the trail.

Therefore the length of the trail = 22796 ft
