Answer:

2.087 kg

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision.

MU + mu = V(M+m)............................ Equation 1

Where M = mass of  the cart, m = mass of the brick, U = initial velocity of the cart, u = initial velocity of the brick, V = velocity of both cart and brick after collision.

Note: The initial velocity of the brick is zero Thus mu = 0

making m the subject of the equation,

m =(MU/V)-M ........................................ Equation 2

Given: M = 2.6 kg, U = 28.2 cm/s = 0.283 m/s, V = 15.7 cm/s = 0.157 m/s.

Substituting into equation 2,

m = (2.6×0.283/0.157)-2.6

m = 2.087 kg

Thus the mass of the brick = 2.087 kg

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
Maslowich

Consider that the bar magnet has a magnetic field that is acting around it, which will imply that there is a change in the magnetic flux through the loop whenever it moves towards the conducting loop. This could be described as an induction of the electromotive Force in the circuit from Faraday's law.

In turn by Lenz's law, said electromotive force opposes the change in the magnetic flux of the circuit. Therefore, there is a force that opposes the movement of the bar magnet through the conductor loop. Therefore, the bar magnet does not suffer free fall motion.

The bar magnet does not move as a freely falling object.

A student pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. The box accelerates at a rate of
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg − F sin θ = 0

N = F sin θ + mg

Plug in values:

N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)

N = 225 N
