A 2.8-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.2-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.6 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.7 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? (b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of one cart,m_1=2.8 kg

Mass of second cart,m_2=1.2 kg

Initial velocity of one cart,u_1=4.6m/s

Initial velocity of second cart,u_2=-2.7 m/s

a.Total momentum,P=m_1u_1+m_2u_2=2.8(4.6)+1.2(-2.7)

P=9.64 kgm/s

b.Velocity of second cart,v_2=0

According to law of conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

9.64=2.8v_1+1.2\times 0

v_1=\frac{9.64}{2.8}

v_1=3.44m/s

Answer:

P = 1.09 \times 10^8 Pa

Explanation:

As we know that the pressure inside the liquid level is given as

P = \rho g h + P_o

here we have

\rho = 1024 kg/m^3

h = 10.9 km

also we know that

P_o = 1.01 \times 10^5 Pa

now we have

P = (1.01 \times 10^5) + (1024)(9.81)(10.9 \times 10^3)

P = 1.09 \times 10^8 Pa

You are on a building with a snowball. You see your favorite physics teacher walking by about 10 m away from you. How fast must
tankabanditka [31]

You must throw the snow ball by velocity 9.43 m/s horizontally to

hit him

Explanation:

You throw the snow ball horizontally from a height 5.5 meters

Your favorite physics teacher is 10 m away from you

You hit him on the foot

1. The initial velocity of the ball is v

2. The vertical component of v is zero because you throw the ball

     horizontally

3. The vertical distance h is 5.5 m

4. The horizontal distance x is 10 m

We need to find how fast you must throw the snow ball to hit him

→ h = v_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} g t²

→ h = -5.5 m ⇒ height below the point of thrown

→ g = -9.8 m/s²

→  v_{y} = 0 ⇒ vertical component of v

→ -5.5 = (0) t + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8) t²

→ - 5.5 = -4.9 t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ t² = 1.12245

Take √ for both sides

→ t = 1.06 seconds

→ x = v_{x} t

→ v_{x} = v

→ x = 10 m , t = 1.06

→ 10 = v(1.06)

Divide both sides by 1.06

→ v = 9.43 m/s

You must throw the snow ball by velocity 9.43 m/s horizontally to

hit him
