A 2.0-kg cart collides with a 1.0-kg cart that is initially at rest on a low-friction track. After the collision, the 1.0-kg car

t moves to the right at 0.50 m/s and the 2.0-kg cart moves to the right at 0.25 m/s . If the positive direction is to the right, what was the initial velocity of the 2.0-kg cart?

Answer:

Initial velocity of first cart will be 0.5 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the cart m_1=2kg

Its collides with other cart of mass m_2=1kg

Let the initial velocity of cart 1 is v_{1i}

As the car 2 is initially at rest so v_{2i} = 0 m/sec

After the collision velocity of first cart is 0.25 m/sec

So v_{1f} = 0.25 m/sec and velocity of second cart is 0.50 m /sec

So v_{2f} = 0.5 m/sec

From conservation of momentum we know that

m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}=m_1v_{1f}+m_2v_{2f}

2\times v_{1i}+1\times 0=2\times 0.25+1\times 0.5

v_{1i} = 0.5 m /sec

So initial velocity of first cart will be 0.5 m /sec

Based on your observations of the six collisions, describe the physical difference between elastic and inelastic collisions.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Collisions are basically two types: Elastic, and inelastic collision. Elastic collision is defined as the colliding objects return quickly without undergoing any heat generation. Inelastic collision is defined as the where heat is generated, and colliding objects are distorted.

In elastic collision, the total kinetic energy, momentum are conserved, and there is no wasting of energy occurs. Swinging balls is the good example of elastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is not conserved it changes from one form to another for example thermal energy or sound energy. Automobile collision is good example, of inelastic collision.

player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the hor
seropon [69]

Answer

22.5 m/s

Explanation

We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.

cos 30° = horizontal / 26

horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°

                                = 26 × 0.866

                                = 22.5166

                                 = 22.5 m/s

A box has a mass of 35kg.he pulls the rope horizontally with a force of 175 N. Find the horizontal acceleration of the box as it
Cloud [144]

Answer:

3.43 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force is equal to mass times acceleration. (F=ma). You can use inverse operations to get the formula for acceleration, which is acceleration is equal to force divided by mass. (a=F/m). Since there are two forces here, the force friction (55 N), and the force applied (175 N), we must solve for the net force. To solve for the net force, you take the applied force (175 N) and subtract the frictional force from it (55 N). Thus, the net force is 120 N. With this done, we can now solve for our acceleration.

Using the equation for acceleration, we take the force and divide it by mass.

120/35

Answer: 3.43* m/s^2**

*Note: This is rounded to the nearest hundredth, the full answer is: 3.42857143

**Note: In case you're confused, this is meters per second squared.
