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

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =\frac{1L}{300K}× 100K= \frac{1}{3} × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

A car starts from rest and undergoes an acceleration of 4.0 m/s/s for a time of 5.0 s. What is the final velocity of the car?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

20m/s

Explanation:

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s/5.0sec

5.0sec×4.0m/s²=v m/s-0m/s×5.0m/s/5.0m/s

20m/s=v

Compare the gravity between these pairs, each consisting of an Earth-like planet and its star. You are given the mass of the pla
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravity states that the force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The law is expressed by the formula:

F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2} \\\\Where\ F=force,G=gravitational\ constant, m_1\ and\ m_1=mass\ of\ objects,r\ =distance\ between \ the\ two\ objects.

The masses and distances for this question is in common units, Therefore the result would be in ratios

a) 4 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 3 AU

The force (F) = (4 * 3) / 3² = 4/3

b) 1 MEarth / 1 MSolar / 1 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 1) / 1² = 1

c) 1 MEarth / 2 MSolar / 2 AU

The force (F) = (1 * 2) / 2² = 1/2
