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.

According to Coulomb's law, what happens to the attraction of two oppositely charged objects as their distance of separation inc
NARA [144]

Answer:

Option B. Decreases

Explanation:

Coulomb's law states that:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction between two charges

K => is the electrical constant.

q₁ and q₂ => are the two charges

r => is the distance apart.

From the formula:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

The force of attraction (F) is inversely proportional to the square of their separating distance (r).

This implies that as the distance between them increase, the force of attraction between the two charges will decrease and as the distance between two charges decrease, the force of attraction between them will increase.

Considering the question given above and the illustration given above, the force of attraction will decrease as their distance of separation increases.

Option B gives the right answer to the question.

What does an electromagnet do?
butalik [34]
An electromagnet is a device that sends electricity through a coil of wire to produce a magnetic field. This leads to a magnet that can be controlled - turned on and off with the flip of a switch, or increased or decreased in strength. The coils are often wrapped around a regular magnet to make it stronger.

When you see a fish in the water where is it really ?

It really depends on the angle where you look at it from and what type of glass/shape they are in. Mine always appeared pretty close even when it wasn't.
