A 50kg boy runs at a speed of 10.0m/s and jumpsonto a cart

Answer:

Mass of the cart is 750 kg

Given:

Mass of the boy, m = 50 kg

Speed of the boy, v = 10.0 m/s

Final speed of the boy with the cart, v' = 2.5 m/s

Solution:

Initially the cart is at rest and since its on the ground, height, h = 0

Now, by the conservation of energy, mechanical energy before and after will remain conserved:

KE + PE = KE' + PE'          (1)

where

KE = Initial Kinetic energy

KE' = Final Kinetic Energy

PE = Initial Potential Energy

PE' = Final Potential Energy

We know that:

Kinetic enrgy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Potential energy = mgh

Since, potential energy will remain zero, thus we apply the conservation of Kinetic Energy only.

Let the mass of cart be M, thus the mass of the system, m' = 50 + M

Using eqn (1):

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}m'v^{2}

\frac{1}{2}\times 50\times 10^{2} = \frac{1}{2}(50 + M)\times 2.5^{2}

5000 = 6.25(50 + M)

M = 750 kg

Answer:

the mass of the cart is 150 kg

Explanation:

given,

mass of boy(m) = 50 kg

speed of boy (v)= 10 m/s                  

initial velocity of cart (u) = 0                    

final velocity of cart(V) = 2.5 m/s              

mass of the cart(M) = ?                              

m v + M u = (m + M ) V......................(1)

50× 10 + 0 = (50 + M ) 2.5

M =\dfrac{500}{2.5} - 50

M = 150 Kg                                          

hence, the mass of the cart is 150 kg

Marizza181 [45]

The force on the clove will have the same magnitude but a negative sign with it that is F = - 14 N

<h3>What is force and how do we calculate it ?</h3>

The definition of force is: The pushing or pulling on a massed object changes its velocity. Force is an external agent that has the power to alter a body's resting or moving condition.

It has a size and a movement.

Newton's second law of motion defines the force formula as follows:

A force is equal to an object's mass times its acceleration, or F = m a. You must use SI units when applying this formula: kilograms for mass, meters per second squared for acceleration, and newtons for force.

Answer:at 21.6 min they were separated by 12 km

Explanation:

We can consider the next diagram

B2------15km/h------->Dock

|

|

B1 at 20km/h

|

|

V

So by the time B1 leaves, being B2 traveling at constant 15km/h and getting to the dock one hour later means it was at 15km from the dock, the other boat, B1 is at a distance at a given time, considering constant speed of 20km/h*t going south, where t is in hours, meanwhile from the dock the B2 is at a distance of (15km-15km/h*t), t=0, when it is 8pm.

Then we have a right triangle and the distance from boat B1 to boat B2, can be measured as the square root of (15-15*t)^2 +(20*t)^2. We are looking for a minimum, then we have to find the derivative with respect to t. This is 5*(25*t-9)/(sqrt(25*t^2-18*t+9)), this derivative is zero at t=9/25=0,36 h = 21.6 min, now to be sure it is a minimum we apply the second derivative criteria that states that if the second derivative at the given critical point is positive it means here we have a minimum, and by calculating the second derivative we find it is 720/(25 t^2 - 18 t + 9)^(3/2) that is positive at t=9/25, then we have our answer. And besides replacing the value of t we get the distance is 12 km.

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.
