Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

The momentum is equal to m*v
m is mass
v is speed
so 1.5 kg*1.4m/s + 1 kg*1.4m/s
2.5kg*1.4m/s
3.5 kgm/s
hope it helps

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

155.38424 K

2.2721 kg/m³

Explanation:

P_1 = Pressure at reservoir = 10 atm

T_1 = Temperature at reservoir = 300 K

P_2 = Pressure at exit = 1 atm

T_2 = Temperature at exit

R_s = Mass-specific gas constant = 287 J/kgK

\gamma = Specific heat ratio = 1.4 for air

For isentropic flow

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=T_1\times \frac{P_2}{P_1}^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=00\times \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\Rightarrow T_2=155.38424\ K

The temperature of the flow at the exit is 155.38424 K

From the ideal equation density is given by

\rho_2=\frac{P_2}{R_sT_2}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{1\times 101325}{287\times 155.38424}\\\Rightarrow \rho=2.2721\ kg/m^3

The density of the flow at the exit is 2.2721 kg/m³

If I turn on a light in a spaceship traveling 1C BACKWARDS, what happens to the photons? Speed -0-, or 1C in opposite direction?
Advocard [28]

If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.

When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.
 
It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.

The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.

Yes, I hear you.  That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.

An arrow is shot at an angle of 35° and a velocity of 50 m/s. How long does it take to return to its original starting height?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

4.02 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 35°

Initial velocity (u) = 50 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time of flight (T) =?

The time of flight of the arrow can be obtained as follow:

T = 2uSineθ / g

T = 2 × 35 × Sine 35 / 10

T = 70 × 0.5736 / 10

T = 7 × 0.5736

T = 4.02 s

Therefore, the time taken for the arrow to return is 4.02 s

An eagle is flying horizontally 16.4 meters above a lake at a speed of 9.3 m/s, carrying a small pumpkin in its talons. The pump
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m
