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

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

If it requires 7.0 j of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.1 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
SVEN [57.7K]
4.6 j more. To get this take 7 and multiply it by 3.5 to get 24.5 take the x which is what you’re looking for and multiply it by the 2.1 to get 2.1x. Take 24.5 and divide it by 2.1 x and get 11.6. Subtract 11.6 by 7 and get 4.6

A 5.00X10^5 kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250X10^7 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50X10^6 N
katrin [286]
<span>6.20 m/s^2 The rocket is being accelerated towards the earth by gravity which has a value of 9.8 m/s^2. Given the total mass of the rocket, the gravitational drag will be 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 4.9 x 10^6 kg m/s^2 = 4.9 x 10^6 N Add in the atmospheric drag and you get 4.90 x 10^6 N + 4.50 x 10^6 N = 9.4 x 10^6 N Now subtract that total drag from the thrust available. 1.250 x 10^7 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 12.50 x 10^6 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 3.10 x 10^6 N So we have an effective thrust of 3.10 x 10^6 N working against a mass of 5.00 x 10^5 kg. We also have N which is (kg m)/s^2 and kg. The unit we wish to end up with is m/s^2 so that indicates we need to divide the thrust by the mass. So 3.10 x 10^6 (kg m)/s^2 / 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 0.62 x 10^1 m/s^2 = 6.2 m/s^2 Since we have only 3 significant figures in our data, the answer is 6.20 m/s^2</span>
