B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.

How is the direction of a vector affected when it is multiplied by a scalar?
pantera1 [17]
The direction of a vector multiplied by a scalar is only affected if the scalar is negative, in which case the vector will now be in the opposite direction. If the scalar is positive, the vector will only change in magnitude

Zero field spot for opposite unequal charges
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The zero field location has to be on the line running between the two point charges because that's the only place where the field vectors could point in exactly opposite directions. It can't be between the two opposite charges because there the field vectors from both charges point toward the negative charge.

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 60.3 m/s at an angle of 34.2 above the horizontal on a long flat firing range.
amid [387]

Answer:

A.) H = 58.6 m

B.) T = 6.92 s

C.) 345.12 m

D.) V = 22.13 m/s

E.) Ø = 32.1 degree

Explanation:

Given that the

initial speed U = 60.3 m/s

Angle Ø = 34.2 degree

A.) At maximum height, final velocity V is equal to zero.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity.

V^2 = U sin Ø^2 - 2gH

Substitute for U and g. Where g = 9.8 m/s^2

0 = (60.3 sin 34.2)^2 - 2 × 9.8 × H

1148.78 = 19.6 H

H = 1148.78/19.6

H = 58.6 m

B.) To Determine the total time in the air, let us use the formula

V = UsinØ - gt

At maximum height, V = 0

t = UsinØ/g

Total time T = 2t

Therefore, T = 2UsinØ/g

T = (2 × 60.3 × sin 34.2)/9.8

T = 67.79/9.8

T = 6.92 s

C.) To determine the total horizontal distance covered which is the range, we will use second equation of motion.

S = UcosØT - 1/2gt^2

Where S = range R

g = 0, since the range is not a vertical distance

T = total time

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

R = 60.3 cos 34.2 × 6.92

R = 345.12 m

D.) After 1.2 s firing,

V = UsinØ - gt

Where t = 1.2 s

Substitute into the formula

V = 60.3 × sin34.2 - 9.8 × 1.2

V = 33.89 - 11.76

V = 22.13 m/s

Therefore the speed of the projectile 1.20 s after firing is 22.13 m/s

E.) The direction will be determined by using the formula

t = VsinØ/ g

Cross multiply

VsinØ = gt

Make SinØ the subject of formula

SinØ = gt/V

SinØ = (9.8×1.2)/22.13

Sin Ø = 11.76/22.13

Sin Ø = 0.53

Ø = sin^-1( 0.53 )

Ø = 32.1 degree

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.36 m and a spring constant of 320 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
lakkis [162]

Answer:

1.been both -ve charged or both +be charged particles

2. 3.52mC

Explanation:

For the charge particle to cause an extension or movement of the string from its unrestrained position they would have been both -ve charged or both +be charged particles that's because like charges repel.

Now the Force sustain by the extended string is

F = Ke;

Where K is the force constant of the string, 320 N/m

e is the extension,0.033 m

F = 320 × 0.033 =10.56N

2.But according to columns law of charge;

F = kQ1 Q2

But Q1=Q2{ since the charge are of the same magnitude}.

Hence F = KQ^2

Where K is columns constant =9×10^9F/m

Hence Q=√F/K

Q= √10.56/9×10^9

=3.52×10^-3C

= 3.52mC
