Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
Conservation of momentum :
Where :
= masses of object collided
= initial velocity before collision
= final velocity after collision
We have :
Two equal-mass carts roll towards each other.
Initial velocity of
Initial velocity of (opposite direction)
Final velocity of (same direction )
Final velocity of (same direction)
v = 0.5 m/s
rg135
The speed of the carts after their collision is 0.5 m/s.
Answer:
The work done on the system can be accounted for by;
Both and
Explanation:
The speed of the crate = Constant
Therefore, the acceleration of the crate = 0 m/s²
The net force applied to the crate, = 0
Therefore, the force of with which the crate is pulled = The force resisting the upward motion of the crate
However, we have;
The force resisting the upward motion of the crate = The weight of the crate + The frictional resistance of the ramp due to the surface contact between the ramp and the crate
The work done on the system = The energy to balance the resisting force = The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised + The heat generated as internal energy to the system
The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised = Gravitational Potential Energy =
The heat generated as internal energy to the system =
Therefore;
The work done on the system = +
