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

sattari [20]

Answer:

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the tennis ball to reach maximum height, t = 0.5 x 7 = 3.5 seconds.

Let the initial velocity be u, we have acceleration due to gravity, a = -9.81 m/s² and final velocity = 0 m/s

Equation of motion result we have v = u + at

Substituting

             0 = u - 9.81 x 3.5

             u = 34.335 m/s

Velocity of throwing = 34.335 m/s

An igneous rock becomes buried, is subject to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes. This rock then is eroded, transported,
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

When an igneous rock becomes buried, is subjected to high heat and pressure, and recrystallizes it is formed into  Metamorphic rock. Now this rock is eroded, transported, deposited and subsequently lithified to be converted into Sedimentary rock.

The same igneous rock is first converted into Metamorphic and then into sedimentary by the process of weathering.

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is  one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.

Because velocity is speed with direction. In this scenario, the speed has not changed, but the direction did.
