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.

A capacitor charging circuit consists of a battery, an uncharged 20 μF capacitor, and a 6.0 kΩ resistor. At t = 0 s the switch i
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Battery voltage will be equal to 9.65 volt

Explanation:

We have given capacitance C=20\mu F=20\times 10^{-6}F

Resistance R=6kohm=6000ohm

Time constant of RC circuit is

\tau =RC=20\times 10^{-6}\times 6000=0.12sec

Time is given t = 0.15 sec

Current i = 0.46 mA

Current in RC circuit is given by

i=\frac{V}{R}e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }}

0.00046=\frac{V}{6000}e^{\frac{-0.15}{0.12 }}

0.00046=\frac{V}{6000}\times 0.286

V = 9.65 volt

So battery emf will be equal to 9.65 volt

Q 26.12: Assume current flows in a cylindrical conductor in such a way that the current density increases linearly with radius,
elixir [45]

Answer:

The current is 0.67 A.

Explanation:

Density, J = 1 A/m^2

Area, A = 1 m^2

Let the radius is r. And outer is R.

Use the formula of current density

I = \int J dA = \int J 2\pi r dr\\\\I = \int_{0}^{R}\frac{2\pi r^2}{R} dr\\\\I = \frac{2 \pi R^2}{3}.... (1)Now A = \pi R^2\\\\1 =\pi R^2\\\\R^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\So, \\\\I = \frac{2\pi}{3}\times \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\I = 0.67 A

a plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8,000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B with a velocity of 10
ValentinkaMS [17]

Acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time for the change)

Change in velocity = (ending velocity) - (starting velocity)

Change in the plane's velocity = (10,000 m/s north) - (8,000 m/s north)

Change in the plane's velocity = 2,000 m/s north

Time for the change = 40 seconds

Acceleration = (2,000 m/s north) / (40 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = 50 m/s² north </em>
