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

The coordinates of a particle in the metric​ xy-plane are differentiable functions of time t with StartFraction dx Over dt EndFr
Brut [27]

Answer:

\dfrac{dD}{dt}=-7.076\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

The coordinates of a particle in the metric​ xy-plane are differentiable functions of time t are given by :

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-6\ m/s

\dfrac{dy}{dt}=-4\ m/s

Let D is the distance from the origin. It is given by :

D^2=x^2+y^2

Differentiate above equation wrt t as:

2D\dfrac{dD}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

D\dfrac{dD}{dt}=x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}.............(1)

The points are given as, (12,5). Calculating D from these points as :

D=\sqrt{12^2+5^2} =13\ m

Put all values in equation (1) as :

13\times \dfrac{dD}{dt}=12\times (-6)+5\times (-4)

\dfrac{dD}{dt}=-7.076\ m/s

So, the particle is moving away from the origin at the rate of 7.076 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A monkey is sitting at the top of a tree 20 m above ground level. A person standing on the ground wants to feed the monkey. He u
lianna [129]

Answer:

Aim directly at the monkey

Explanation:

Despite the mass differences, both the monkey and the food will experience the same acceleration hence while the food follows a projectile path, it will then fall and hit the monkey hence achieving the aim of feeding it. You don't need to aim below or above, aim it directly.

A mass m is located at the origin; a second mass m is at x = d. A third mass m is above the first two so the three masses form a
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

√3 * Gm²/d²

Explanation:

m1 = m, m2= m, distance = d. hence:

F = Gm²/d²

Let the origin be A, the point x = d be B and the point above the first two is C.

The net force acting on the third mass (point C) F_{net} = F_A+F_B

Let j represent the vertical component and i the horizontal component. Hence:

F_B=-F_j\\\\F_A=-F(icos\frac{\pi}{6}+jsin\frac{\pi}{6} )=-F(i\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}+j\frac{1}{2} )\\\\F_{net} =F_A+F_B\\\\F_{net} =-F_j+{-F(i\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}+j\frac{1}{2} )}\\\\F_{net} =-\frac{F}{2} \sqrt{3}(i+j\sqrt{3}  )\\\\The\ magnitude\ of\ the\ net\ force\ is:\\\\|F_{net}|=\frac{F}{2}\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{1^2+\sqrt{3}^2 })=\frac{F}{2} \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{4})\\\\|F_{net}|=\frac{F}{2} \sqrt{3}*2=F*\sqrt{3}\\\\|F_{net}|=\sqrt{3}*\frac{Gm^2}{d^2}
