A 3.0-kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.3-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.6 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is −1.9 m/s.
(Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

(a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant?
kg · m/s

(b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest?
m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Momentum of first cart = mass x velocity

= 3 x 4.6 =+13.8 kg m /s

Momentum of second cart = 1.3 x - 1.9 = - 2.47 kg m /s

Total momentum = 13.8 - 2.47

= +11.33 kg m /s

b )

Let the velocity of first cart be v at the moment when second cart was at rest

total momentum = 3 x v + 0 = 3 v

Applying conservation of momentum law

3 v  = +11.33

v = +3.77 m /s

Light travels from the sun to the earth, a distance of 144,000,000,000 meters, in 480 seconds. Calculate the approximate velocit
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The answer is C.) 300,000,000 m/s

Explanation:

Light travels at a constant rate of 300,000,000 m/s. this can be determined by dividing the distance (144,000,000,000 meters) by the time (480 seconds). that's pretty fast. in fact, nothing can travel any faster than this. ever.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
