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.

4. The bar has cross-sectional area A and modulus of elasticity E. If an axial force F directed toward the right is applied at C
aniked [119]

Answer:

a)  ΔL/L = F / (E A),  b)   L_{f} = L (1 + L F /(EA) )

Explanation:

Let's write the formula for Young's module

     E = P / (ΔL / L)

Let's rewrite the formula, to have the pressure alone

    P = E ΔL / L

The pressure is defined as

    P = F / A

Let's replace

   F / A = E ΔL / L

   F = E A ΔL / L

   ΔL / L = F / (E A)

b) To calculate the elongation we must have the variation of the length, so the length of the bar must be a fact. Let's clear

    ΔL = L [F / EA]

    L_{f} -L = L (F / EA)

    L_{f} = L + L (F / EA)

    L_{f} = L (1 + L (F / EA))

A block of mass 2 kg is placed on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4. A horizontal force of 2.5 N is applied o
Masja [62]

Answers is  F=7.84 N

Friction force resists the effect of horizontal force and trying to approch to a limiting force.

we have formula for limiting friction force between block and floor

               F=Ц N

where N=mg

putting values we get answer.

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 65.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg

Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m

Mass of the person  standing on platform = 65.7 kg

Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m

Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg

Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m

We have to calculate the moment of inertia.

Formula:

MOI of disk = \frac{MR^2}{2}

Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.

Where m and r are different for both the bodies.

So,

Moment of inertia (I_y_y )  of the system with respect to the axis yy.

⇒ I_y_y=I_d_i_s_k + I_m_a_n+I_d_o_g

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{M_d_i_s_k(R_d_i_s_k)^2}{2} +M_m(r_c)^2+M_d_o_g(R_c)^2

⇒ I_y_y=\frac{129(1.61)^2}{2} +65.7(1.07)^2+27.2(1.31)^2

⇒ I_y_y=289.088\ kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2
