Chuck and Jackie stand on separate carts, both of which can slide without friction. The combined mass of Chuck and his cart, mca

rt, is identical to the combined mass of Jackie and her cart. Initially, Chuck and Jackie and their carts are at rest. Chuck then picks up a ball of mass mball and throws it to Jackie, who catches it. Assume that the ball travels in a straight line parallel to the ground (ignore the effect of gravity). After Chuck throws the ball, his speed relative to the ground is vc. The speed of the thrown ball relative to the ground is vb. Jackie catches the ball when it reaches her, and she and her cart begin to move. Jackie's speed relative to the ground after she catches the ball is vj. When answering the questions in this problem, keep the following in mind: The original mass mcart of Chuck and his cart does not include the mass of the ball. The speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity. An object's speed will always be a nonnegative quantity. Find the relative speed u between Chuck and the ball after Chuck has thrown theball.
Express the speed in terms ofv_c and v_b.

As per momentum conservation we can say that Chuck and ball as a system has no external force

So here momentum of them must be conserved

now here initially if they are at rest

so we can say

P_i = P_f

0 = m_{cart}v_c + m_{ball} v_b

now we have

v_b = \frac{m_{cart}v_c}{m_{ball}

now the relative velocity of the cart and ball is given as

v_r = v_c + \frac{m_{cart}v_c}{m_{ball}

also we can say since they are moving in opposite direction so relative speed will be

v_r = v_c + v_b

5) A person holds a 1.7 kg bucket and lets it move down at
Elena L [17]

Answer:

12.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of bucket  = 1.7kg

Height  = 75cm  = 0.75m

Unknown;

Work done on the bucket by the person  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the work done equation;

  Work done  = force x distance  = mgh

 m is the mass  

  g is the acceleration due to gravity

  h is the height

Now, insert parameters and solve ;

     Work done  = 1.7 x 9.8 x 0.75  = 12.5J

A runner begins running at the beginning of 7th period and stops running at the end of the period. She runs at a pace of 10 km/h
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

She run for, t = 0.92 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The velocity of the runner, v = 10 km/h

The distance covered by the runner, d = 9.2 km

The relationship between the velocity, displacement and time is given by the formula,

                           t = d / v

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                           t = 9.2 / 10

                             = 0.92 s

Hence, she ran for, t = 0.92 s

Which of the following are true about S waves
shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

  • S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.  
  • They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

Deposition:

- when a gas changes directly to a solid

- latent heat is released

- physical change, NOT a chemical change
