When a 1.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 0.50 meter per second on a horizontal surface collides with a second 1.0-kilogra

m cart initially at rest, the carts lock together. What is the speed of the combined carts after the collision?

The speed of the combined carts after the collision is 0.25 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision, so we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 1.0 kg is the mass of the first cart

u_1 = 0.50 m/s is the initial velocity of the first cart

m_2 = 1.0 kg is the mass of the second cart

u_2 = 0 is the initial velocity of the second cart

v is the final combined velocity of the two carts

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find: the final velocity:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(1.0)(0.50)}{1.0+1.0}=0.25 m/s

A test charge of -1.4 x 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 x 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field c
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Explaination:

Applying,

E = F/q....................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F  = Force, q = charge.

From the question,

Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷

E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs

Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the

negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.
