(a) The momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) The velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass, m₁ = 1.2kg

Velocity, v₁ = 4.5m/s

Mass, m₂ = 0.8kg

v₂ = 0

(a) Momentum of the trolley before impact, p

We know:

Momentum = mass X velocity

p = 1.2 X 4.5

p = 5.4 kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the first trolley is 5.4 kgm/s

(b) Speed of the trolleys after impact, v = ?

During collision, the momentum is conserved.

So,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v

(1.2 X 4.5) + (0.8 X 0) = (1.2 +0.8) X v

5.4 + 0 = 2v

v = 2.7m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the trolleys after impact is 2.7m/s

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, and a mass of 1.50 ✕ 10−26 kg. At a particular in
seropon [69]

Answer:

Magnetic force, F = 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, q=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Speed of the ion in the magnetic field, v=5\times 10^6\ m/s

Its velocity makes an angle of 61° with the direction of the magnetic field at the ion's location.

The magnitude of the field is 0.220 T.

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the ion. It is given by :

F=qvB\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^6\times 0.22\\\\F=3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

So, the magnitude of magnetic force on the ion is 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N.

A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude 0.43 m and period 3.9 sec. What is the maximum acceleration?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2              

Explanation:

We have given amplitude of simple harmonic motion is A = 0.43 m

Time period of the oscillation is T = 3.9 sec

We have to find the maximum acceleration

For this we have to find the angular frequency

Angular frequency will be equal to \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{3.9}=1.61rad/sec

Maximum acceleration is given by a_{max}=\omega ^2A=1.61^2\times 0.43=0.854rad/sec^2

So maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2

I need help with 2 questions . Please help c:
dezoksy [38]
A) According to the nebular theory, the Solar System formed from a huge gaseous nebula which at a certain point was perturbated. Atoms and molecules started colliding, forming planetesimals (a sort of big rocks). The planetesimals were attracted to each other by gravity, forming bigger warm almost spherical objects called protoplanets, which at the end cooled down forming planets.
Therefore the correct answer is "all of the above".

b) The planets closer to the Sun were (and still are) subject to higher temperatures, due to their close distance to the Sun. In these conditions, rocky materials undergo condensation, while iced gaseous materials undergo vaporization. In the outer parts of the Solar System temperatures are too low to allow these transformations.
The correct answer is again "all of the above".
