Answer:

a) 84 kg.m/s

b) 0 kg.m/s

c) 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of the cart before the collision is given by:

p_c=m_c*v_c\\p_c=21.0kg*4.0m/s\\p_c=84kg.m/s

The momentum of the box before the collision is given by:

p_b=m_b*v_b\\p_c=9.0kg*0m/s\\p_c=0kg.m/s

Using the linear momentum conservation formula:

p_c+p_b=(m_c+m_b)*v\\\\v=\frac{84kg.m/s}{30.0kg}\\v=2.8m/s

A negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (
Sergeu [11.5K]
The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is  √(2² + 3²) = √13 m  from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object's physical
KengaRu [80]

If the mass of the object and the volume of the object is determined;

Then, the density of the object is determined by taking the ratio of the mass and volume.

<h3>What is density of an object?</h3>

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass and volume of that object.

Mathematically;

  • Density = mass/volume

To determine the density of an object therefore, the physical characteristics of mass and the volume of the object are measured.

The mass of the object is obtained using a scale or a balance.

The volume of the object if a solid is obtained using a displacement bottle. If it is a liquid, a measuring cylinder is used.

The density of the object is then obtained by taking the ratio of the mass and the volume of the object.

In conclusion, the density of an object is determined from the volume and mass ratio.

Martha must carry a 45 N package up three flights of stairs. Each flight of stairs has a height of 2.3m, and the actual distance
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

310.5 J

Explanation:

The total work done by Martha is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the package, which is equal to

\Delta U = mg\Delta h

where

(mg) = 45 N is the weight of the package

\Delta h is the increase in height of the package

The package is carried up 3 flights of stairs, each one with a height of 2.3 m, so the total increase in heigth is

\Delta h = 3 \cdot 2.3 m=6.9 m

And so, the work done by Martha is

U=(45 N)(6.9 m)=310.5 J

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]
