Yes there is.

Momentum of an object is  (its mass) times (its speed) .

ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of  momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂

v₂ = .3636 m /s

1  )  

Kinetic energy of the combination

= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²

= 7.3 x 10⁻² J

2 )

Initial kinetic energy of the system

= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²

= 0.8 J

Final  kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²

Loss of energy = .8 - .073

= .727 J

This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .

3 )

increase in entropy = dQ / T

Here dQ = .727 J

T  = 300 ( Constant )

dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K

A series R-L-C circuit is connected to a 70.0 Hz ac source that has Vrms = 80.0 V . The circuit has a resistance of 80.0 Ω and a
Andreyy89

Answer:

62.7 VA

Explanation:

The apparent power (power supplied by the source) of an AC circuit is determined by

S = \frac{(Vrms)^2}{Z}

The impedance(Z) depends on the frequency, but in this case it is given to us that it is 102 ohms at this frequency.

So:

S = \frac{(80 V)^2}{102 \Omega} = 62.7 VA

Someone drops a brick on a 2.6 kg cart moving at 28.2 cm/s. After the collision, the dropped brick and cart are moving together
Softa [21]

Answer:

2.087 kg

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision.

MU + mu = V(M+m)............................ Equation 1

Where M = mass of  the cart, m = mass of the brick, U = initial velocity of the cart, u = initial velocity of the brick, V = velocity of both cart and brick after collision.

Note: The initial velocity of the brick is zero Thus mu = 0

making m the subject of the equation,

m =(MU/V)-M ........................................ Equation 2

Given: M = 2.6 kg, U = 28.2 cm/s = 0.283 m/s, V = 15.7 cm/s = 0.157 m/s.

Substituting into equation 2,

m = (2.6×0.283/0.157)-2.6

m = 2.087 kg

Thus the mass of the brick = 2.087 kg

A teacher points to a microscope sitting on the desk. Which conclusion best explains
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The object is sitting

Explanation:

Therefore the object cannot be in current motion as no force has been acted upon it (exept gravitational force)
