A 1.0 kg cart moving right at 5.0 m/s on a frictionless track collides with a second cart moving at 2.0m/s. The 1.0 kg cart has

a final speed of 4.0 m/s to the left, and the second cart has a final speed of 1.0 m/s to the right. What is the mass of the second cart? Consider rightward as the positive direction.

3 0

Answer:

m₂ = 3kg

Explanation:

The question wasn't clear about what direction the initial velocity of the second cart was, so I'll assume it was going left at 2.0m/s.

Anyway, this is a conservation of momentum problem. The equation you need to use is the one written in blue. They want you to solve for the mass of the second cart, so do some algebra and rearrange that blue equation in term of m₂.

Now that you have the equation for m₂, plug in all the values given from the question and you'll get 3kg.

Mechanical (sound) waves to Earth from satellites. How is this possible? aves are unable to travel through a vacuum, such as thr
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.

Using diagram differentiate between solenoid and a toroid
damaskus [11]

The Toroid is form when you have wound conductor around circular body. In this case you have magnatic field inside the core but you dont have any poles because circular body dont have ends. This can be used where you want minimum flux leakage and dont need magnatic poles. i.e. toroidal inductor, toroidal transformer.


The Solenoid is forn when you wound conductor around body with limb. In this case magnatic field creates two poles N and S. Solenoids have little bit flux leakage. This used where you want magnatic poles and flux leakage is not an issue. i.e. relay, motors, electromagnates.

1 == toroid


2= solenoid

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.
