A grocery shopper tosses a(n) 8.5 kg bag of rice into a stationary 17.7 kg grocery cart. The bag hits the cart with a horizontal

speed of 6.9 m/s toward the front of the cart. What is the final speed of the cart and bag? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

2.2386 m/s

Explanation:

I think you would use the momentum equation.

m1v1=m2v2

m1= mass of the bag (8.5kg)

v1= speed of bag (6.9 m/s)

m2= mass of bag and cart (26.2 kg)

v2= speed of cart and bag

Plug these numbers all into the equation and you solve for v2 which ends up at 2.2386 m/s

57.0- g tennis ball is traveling straight at a player at 21.0 m/ s. The player volleys the ball straight back at 25.0 m/ s. If t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:43.7 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of tennis ball is =57 gm

velocity of ball=21 m/s

The player volleys the ball straight back at 25 m/s(i.e. in opposite of initial direction)

time of contact=0.06 s

We know change in momentum(\Delta P) =Impulse(Fdt)

initial momentum=57\times 10^{-3}\times 21

final momentum=-57\times 10^{-3}\times 25

change in momentum

\Delta P=57\times 10^{-3}\times 21-(-57\times 10^{-3}\times 25)

\Delta P=57\times 10^{-3}\times 46=2.622 kg-m/s

Now 2.622=F_{avg}\times 0.06

F_{avg}=43.7 N

Tomtit [17]

Inertia: tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

If standard household voltage is 120 volts, what is the current through the stove?
Elena-2011 [213]
The current is

                  (120v) / (the resistance of the stove in ohms) .

The unit of the current is Amperes.

If it requires 7.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 1.8 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
belka [17]

Answer:

56 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Energy 1 (E₁) = 7 J

Extention 1 (e₁) = 1.8 cm

Extention 2 (e₂) = 1.8 + 3.6 = 5.4 cm

Energy 2 (E₂) =?

Energy stored in a spring is given by the following equation:

E = ke²

Where E is the energy.

K is the spring constant.

e is the extension.

E = ke²

Divide both side by e²

K = E/e²

Thus,

E₁/e₁² = E₂/e₂²

7/ 1.8² = E₂/ 5.4²

7 / 3.24 = E₂/ 29.16

Cross multiply

3.24 × E₂ = 7 × 29.16

3.24 × E₂ = 204.12

Divide both side by 3.24

E₂ = 204.12 / 3.24

E₂ = 63 J

Thus, the additional energy required can be obtained as follow:

Energy 1 (E₁) = 7 J

Energy 2 (E₂) = 63 J

Additional energy = 63 – 7

Additional energy = 56 J

Fig. 2.1 shows a train
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

\mathrm{(a)\:}32,000,000\:\mathrm{Ns},\\\mathrm{(b)\:}390,000\:\mathrm{N}

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem states the impulse on an object is equal to the change in momentum of that object. Momentum is given by p=mv. Since mass is constant, the train's change in momentum is:

\Delta p=m\Delta v=750,000\cdot42=31,500,000=\fbox{$32,000,000\:\mathrm{Ns}$}(two significant figures).

Impulse is also given as \Delta p = F\Delta t, where F is the average force applied and \Delta t is change in time. Since t is given as 80\mathrm{s}, we have the following equation:

F\Delta t=\Delta p\\\\F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t},\\\\F=\frac{31,500,000}{80},\\\\F=393,750=\fbox{$390,000\:\mathrm{N}$}(two significant figures).
