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.

The distance from the dwarf planet Pluto to the sun is 4.43 × 109 km at perihelion and 7.37 × 109 km at aphelion. Find the eccen
kaheart [24]

Answer:

0.249

Explanation:

Perihelion = 4.43 x 10^9 km

Aphelion = 7.37 x 10^9 km

Let e be the eccentricity and a be the length of semi major axis.

The relation between the semi major axis, perihelion and aphelion s given by

Semi major axis = half of sum of perihelion and aphelion

a = \frac{4.43+7.37}{2}\times10^{9}

a = 5.9 x 10^9 km

The relation between the perihelion, semi major axis and the eccentricity is given by

Perihelion = a (1 - e)

4.43 x 10^9 = 5.9 x 10^9 (1 - e)

0.751 = 1 - e

e = 0.249

Salt water has greater density than fresh water. A boat floats in both fresh water and in salt 12) water. Where is the buoyant f
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

in salt water

Explanation:

The buoyant force acting on a body depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid in which the body is immersed and acceleration due to gravity.

Buoyant force = Volume immersed x density of liquid x g

As the density of salt water is more than the fresh water so the buoyant force acting on the boat in salt water is more than the fresh water.
