Kinetic energy of an object is the energy it contains due to movement. If an object is at rest, it doesn't have kinetic energy. If it's moving, then it has kinetic energy. It's pretty simple! The amount of kinetic energy of an object is dependent upon two variables, one being the mass of the object

A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m
lbvjy [14]

The equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} (option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.  

The horizontal momentum is given by:

p_{i} = p_{f}

m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}

Where:

  • m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
  • m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
  • v_{1}_{i}: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{i}: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
  • v_{1}_{f}: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{f}: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)

Therefore, the equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

If the net external force acting on a system is zero , then the total momentum of the system is zero
Neporo4naja [7]
If net external force acting on the system is zero, momentum is conserved. That means, initial and final momentum are same → total momentum of the system is zero.
