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.

Answer:

I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.

Maru [420]

Answer:

A charge of -5.02 nC is uniformly distributed on a thin square sheet of nonconducting material of edge length 21.8 cm. "What is the surface charge density of the sheet"?

Explanation:

Surface charge density is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated over a surface. It can be calculated as the charge per unit area.

We will convert all parameters in SI units.

Charge = Q = -5.02nC

Q  = -5.02×10^{-9}C

As it is clear from question that Sheet is a square (All sides will be of equal length)

Area = A = (21.8×10^{-2}m) (21.8×10^{-2}m)  = 4.75×10^{-4}m²

A  = 4.75×10^{-4}m²

Surface charge density = Q/A

Surface charge density = (-5.02×10^{-9}C)/(4.75×10^{-4}m²)

Surface charge density = -1.057×10^{-5} Cm^{-2}

You place a book on top of a spring and push down, compressing the spring by 10 cm. When you let go of the book, it is pushed up
enot [183]
At First, there is chemical Energy( in your muscels) which is Used to Push down the spring. This Energy becomes the Energy of the spring, which increases until you stop pushing. If you Put your hand away, the Energy of the spring will become kinetic energ. This Energy is at the highest Level the Moment the book ist Leaving the spring. Afterwards, the kinetic Energy decreases while the Gravitational Potential Energy increases.
