A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x

= 0 m, with an initial velocity of +5.0 m/s and a constant acceleration due to the fan, The direction to the right is positive. The cart reaches a maximum position of x = +12.5 m, where it begins to travel in the negative direction. Find the acceleration of the cart.

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
