A 236 g cart moves on a horizontal, frictionless surface with a constant speed of 26.9 cm/s. A 66.1 g piece of modeling clay is

dropped vertically onto the cart. If the clay sticks to the cart, find the final speed of the system. Answer in units of cm/s.

Answer:

The final speed of the system is 21 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cart (M) = 236 g

Initial velocity of the cart (U) = 26.9 cm/s

Mass of the clay (m) = 66.1 g

Initial velocity of the clay (u) = 0 cm/s (At rest initially)

Let the final velocity of the system be 'v'.

Now, total initial momentum is given as:

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of cart + Initial momentum of clay

P_i=MU+mu\\\\P_i=236\times 26.9+0=6348.4\ g\cdot cm/s

Final momentum of the system is given as:

Final momentum = Total mass × Final velocity

P_f=(M+m)v\\\\P_f=(236+66.1)v\\\\P_f=302.1v

Now, from conservation of total momentum, final momentum is equal to initial momentum. So,

P_f=P_i\\\\302.1v=6348.4\\\\v=\frac{6348.4}{302.1}=21\ cm/s

Therefore, the final speed of the system is 21 cm/s.

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements
astraxan [27]

<em></em>

Answer:

<u><em>The aufbau principle</em></u>

<u />

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity</em></u>

Explanation:

<u><em>The aufbau principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers.  Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:</em></u>

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible.  Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy  the same orbital.
