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

A ball rolls off an 8.0 m high building and strikes the ground 5.0 m away from the base of the building. How fast was the ball r
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: horizontal speed is 3.9 m/s

Explanation: when ball starts to drop, its vertical speed v0 is zero.

We can calculate dropping time from s = v0t +0.5gt².

Dropping time t= √(2s/g)= √((2·8.0 m)/9.81 m/s²)= 1.277 s

Because ball travels horizontal distance s= 5.0 m

HorizontalSpeed v = s/t = 5.0 m/1.277s= 3,915 m/s

What kind of image does the lens in a camera produce? real and upside down real and right-side up virtual and upside down virtua
Vlada [557]

Answer:

<u>real and upside down </u>

Explanation:

Lens of a camera gathers light and focuses it on the light detector or film strip. <u>A real and inverted (upside -down) image is formed. </u>This image is then stored and processed and inverted. Thereafter we see an upright image. A chemical reaction on the film strip stores the image. In a digital lens, a light detector such as CCD stores the image.

A 5kg wheel rolls off a flat roof of a 50 m tall building at 12m/s.
Olegator [25]

Explanation:

a) Given in the y direction (taking down to be positive):

Δy = 50 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

50 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s²) t²

t = 3.2 s

b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 12 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 3.2 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (12 m/s) (3.2 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.2 s)²

Δx = 38 m
