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

(a) The electric potential due to a point charge is given by V = kq⁄r where q is the charge, r is the distance from q and k = 8.

Answer:

a)  [volts] = [N m / C],

b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential

c) the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines

Explanation:

a) find the units of the volt

the electric potential energy is

             V = k q / r

             V = [N m² / C²] C / m

              V = [N m / C]

The electric potential is defined as

             V = E .s

             V = [N / C] [m]

             V = [N m / C] = [volt]

we see that in the two expressions the same result is obtained therefore the volt is

            [volts] = [N m / C]

b) The lines or surface that has the same potential are called equipotential surfaces, the great utility of these lines or surfaces is that a face can be displaced on it without doing work.

c) The electric potential is defined as the gradient of the electric field

             v =  - \frac{dE}{dx} i^

therefore the equipotential lines must also be perpendicular to the electric field lines

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
dangina [55]
1) In the first case, the correct answer is
<span>A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
In fact, the stars are not moving relative to Earth, so there is no shift in the measured wavelength.

2) In this second case, the correct answer is
</span><span>A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
</span>in fact, since the stars in this case are moving towards the Earth, then apparent frequency of their emitted light will be larger than the actual frequency, because of the Doppler effect, according to the formula:
f'= \frac{c}{c+v_s} f_0
where f0 is the actual frequency, f' the apparent frequency, c the speed of light and vs the velocity of the source (the stars) relative to the obsever (Earth). Vs is negative when the source is moving towards the observer, so the apparent frequency f' is larger than the actual frequency f0. But the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so the apparent wavelength will be shorter than the actual wavelength.
