Answer:the final speed is 5.01 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Cart 1 has a mass of 4.2kg and a speed 5.4 m/s

Cart 2 has a mass of 3.2kg and a speed 4.5 m/s

Total momentum before collision is

m1u1 + m2u2. It becomes

4.2×5.4 + 3.2×4.5 = 22.68 + 14.4

= 37.08kgm/s

The carts stick together after colliding head-on. This means that they move with a common velocity, v. Therefore, Total momentum after collision is (m1 + m2)v. It becomes

(4.2 + 3.2)v = 7.4v

According the the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before collision = the total momentum after collision. Therefore,

7.4v = 37.08

v = 37.08/7.4 = 5.01 m/s

Which of the diagrams below show forces that would result in a movement of the block to the left?
xenn [34]

Diagram A will result in the movement of the block to the left as a result of the forces.

<h3>What is Force?</h3>

This is referred to an influence which is capable of changing the motion of an object.

Diagram A has equal upward and downward force and left side which is 60N is higher than the right side which has 20N. The block will therefore move to the left.

A crate of mass 190 kg sits on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.4, an
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of 190kg

Coefficient of static friction is 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction 0.36

Horizontal force= 500N

Taking g=9.81m/s^2.

The weight of the body my

W=190×9.81=1863.91N

There is a normal acting on the body which is equal to the weight

N=W=1863.91N

Frictional force(fr) is acting on the body and it is opposite the horizontal force.

The minimum force to be overcome before the object can start to move is Fr = μsN

Fr= μsN. μs=0.4

Fr= 0.4×1863.91

Fr=745.56N.

Since the horizontal force (500N) is not up to the minimum force to make the object move, then the force of 500N the body is still at rest.

Then the frictional force at that time is equal to the horizontal force

Therefore

Functional force = 500N

b. Mass of asteroid is

M=2000kg

Asteroid velocity at a particular instant is,

U=(-1.30x10^4, 4.20x10^4, 0)m/s

Magnitude of U is

U=√(-1.30×10^4)^2 +(4.2×10^4)^2+0

U=√1.933E9

U=4.39×10^4m/s

Position of the asteroid from the centre of the earth is,

R= (6.00x10^6, 10.00x10^6, 0)m.

The magnitude of the radius is

R = √(6.00x10^6)^2+ (10.00x10^6)^2+ 0^2

R=√3.6E13+10E13+0

R=√13.6E13

R=1.17E7m

R^2=13.6E13m

The mass of the earth is

Me=5.97x10^24 kg

The momentum of the asteroid after time, t=1.5×10^3s

Given that G=6.67x10^-11Nm^2/kg^2

Momentum is

Mv-Mu=Ft

There the new momentum will be

Mv=Ft+Mu

Now we the to find the force the earth exert on the asteroid by using

F=GMMe/R^2

F=6.67E-11 ×2000× 5.97E24 /13.6E13

F=7.964E17/13.6E13

F=5855.88N

The new momentum

Mv= Mu+Ft

Mv= 2000(4.39E4)+5855.88(1.5E3)

Mv=9.66E7kgm/s

The new momentum is 9.66×10^7 Kgm/s
