A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.
Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.
Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.
For an elastic collision, we use the formula,
m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f
For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.
Final velocity = 0.5/2
=0.25 m/s.

Question:
A particle moving along the x-axis has a position given by x=(24t - 2.0t³)m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero
Answer:
24 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
x=(24t - 2.0t³)m
First find velocity function v(t):
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 2*3t²
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 6t²
Find the acceleration function a(t):
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -6*2t
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -12t
At acceleration = 0, take time as T in velocity function.
0 =v(T) = 24 - 6T²
Solve for T
Substitute -2 for t in acceleration function:
a(t) = a(T) = a(-2) = -12(-2) = 24 m/s
Acceleration = 24m/s
Answer:
The equatiom of kinetic energy is 1/2×m×v² where m represents mass and v is velocity :

The unit for kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J).
