A 350-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 280-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the sp

Answer:

The speed of the center of mass of the two carts is 0.103 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the air track cart, m₁ = 350 g = 0.35 kg

Velocity of air track cart, v₁ = 1.25 m/s

Mass of cart, m₂ = 280 g = 0.28 kg

Velocity of cart, v₂ = -1.33 m/s (it is travelling in opposite direction)

We need to find the speed of the center of mass of the two carts. It is given by the following relation as :

v_{cm}=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_{cm}=\dfrac{0.35\ kg\times 1.25\ m/s+0.28\ kg\times (-1.33\ m/s)}{0.35\ kg+0.28\ kg}

v_{cm}=0.103\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

How does activity on the Sun affect natural phenomena on Earth?
Nana76 [90]

Answer and Explanation:

The Sun is the main source of energy on the earth if there will be no availability of Sun energy then life is impossible om the earth besides this the Sun warms our planet. The heating of ocean and atmosphere is mainly sue to Sun energy .Sun has also a great impact on the weather we can say that Sun is weather deciding on the earth our climate is totally dependent on the how much energy we got in form of radiation from earth.

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>
