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

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the
alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.

If the mass of both weights is 225 gm, the first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The voltage is 2.114 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both weights = 225 gm

Transducer sensitivity = 0.5 V/N

The first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east,

We need to calculate the net equivalent force

Using formula of force

F_{3}=m_{1}g\cos\theta+m_{2}g\cos\theta

F_{3}=2mg\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

F_{3}=2\times0.225\times10\cos20^{\circ}

F_{3}=4.228\ N

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

Voltage =sensitivity\times F_{3}

Put the value into the formula

Voltage=0.5\times4.228

Voltage =2.114\ V

Hence, The voltage is 2.114 V.
