When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart

initially at rest, the carts locked together. What is the speed of the combined carts after the collision

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

as we know that

$m_1 = 5 kg$

$m_2 = 2 kg$

$v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0 m/s$

now from above equation we have

$5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v$

$14 = (5+ 2) v$

$v = 2 m/s$

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s

Describe how wavelength, frequency, and energy are related.

irina1246 [14]

The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 1.50 mm. A 25

torisob [31]

Answer:

The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Area =7.70 cm²

Distance = 1.50 mm

Potential difference = 25.0 V

Suppose we find the electric field between the plates, the surface charge density, the capacitance and the charge on each plates.

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{25.0}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$E=16666.66\ V/m$

We need to calculate the charge density

Using formula of charge density

$\sigma=E\times\epsilon_{0}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sigma=16666.66\times8.85\times10^{-12}$

$\sigma=1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

We need to calculate the capacitance

Using formula of capacitance

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$C=\dfrac{8.85\times10^{-12}\times7.60\times10^{-4}}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$C=4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

$q=CV$

Put the value into the formula

$q=4.484\times10^{-12}\times25.0$

$q=112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Hence, The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$
