No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.
But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
The correct answer is amplitude
The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.
<h3>What is force?</h3>
Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1
Where:
- F = Force acting on the cart
- m = mass of the cart
- v = Final velocity
- u = initial velocity
- t = time
From the question,
Given:
- m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
- v = 30 m/s
- u = 10 m/s
- t = 7 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 1
- F = 0.5(30-10)/7
- F = 10/7
- F = 1.43 N.
Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.
