In elastic collisions,total kinetic energy and momentum are both conserved. On a frictionless track,cart 1 is moving with a cons

tant,rightward(+) velocity of 1.0m/s.Cart 2 is also moving rightward with constant velocity of 5.0m/s. After a while,cart 2 collides cart 1 from behind.(It is an elactic collision.)If the final velocity of cart 2 becomes 3.0m/s, what is the final velocity of cart 1?(SHOW ALL YOUR WORK.)

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of cart 1, m1 = m

mass of cart 2, m2 = m

initial velocity of cart 1, u1 = 1 m/s

initial velocity of cart 2, u2 = 5 m/s

final velocity of cart 2, v2 = 3 m/s  

Let the final velocity of cart 1 is v1.

Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = m1 x v1 + m2 x v2

m x 1 + m x 5 = m x v1 + m x 3

6 = v1 + 3

v1 = 3 m/s

Question 1 of 25
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>2.753*10^-11N</em>

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force between the masses is expressed as;

F = GMm/d²

M and m are the distances

d is the distance between the masses

Given

M = 3.71 x 10 kg

m = 1.88 x 10^4 kg

d = 1300m

G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm²/kg

Substitute into the formula

F = 6.67 x 10-11* (3.71 x 10)*(1.88 x 10^4)/1300²

F = 46.52*10^(-6)/1.69 * 10^6

F = 27.53 * 10^{-6-6}

F = 27.53*10^{-12}

F = 2.753*10^-11

<em>Hence the gravitational force between the asteroid is 2.753*10^-11N</em>

If the speed of light in a substance is 2.26 x 10^8 m/s, what is the index of refraction of that substance?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in medium, v = 2.26 x 10^8 m/s

The refractive index of the medium is given by

μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

μ = (3 x 10^8) / (2.26 x 10^8)

μ = 1.33

Answer: A

Explanation:Earthquakes occur on faults - strike-slip earthquakes occur on strike-slip faults, normal earthquakes occur on normal faults, and thrust earthquakes occur on thrust or reverse faults. When an earthquake occurs on one of these faults, the rock on one side of the fault slips with respect to the other.
