Two carts collide on a level, friction-less track. Cart A has a mass of 200 g and is initially stationary. Cart B has a mass of

100 g and is initially moving with a velocity of +2.0 m/s. After the collision between the carts, cart B has a velocity of -0.5 m/s.
Calculate the velocity of cart A after the collision.
(Use conservation of momentum, KE is not conserved.)

Convert 200 grams and 100 grams to 2kg and 1kg respectively 
momentum = mass x velocity 
momentum = 1 x 2 
initial momentum = 2 kg m/s
second scenario, cart b is moving -.5 m/s
momentum = mass x velocity
momentum = 1 x -.5
final momentum = -.5 kg m/s

momentum has to be the same in both scenarios so the 2 kg truck has to have a momentum of 2.5 kg m/s to push the total momentum of the second scenario to be 2 kg m/s like the first scenario

2.5 = 2 x velocity

velocity of cart a after the collision = 1.25 m/s

What do you notice about the wavelength versus the frequency of the wave?
Dominik [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

Energy that is 'lost" to heat, has merely been converted to another form, not<br> lost forever.
MAXImum [283]

Answer: if the heat energy is wasted, then, energy is lost forever.

Explanation: According to conservative of energy, which state that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only convert from one form to another.

The energy which should have been used in one form has been converted to heat energy which could have been used for for thing or the other, if there is nothing the heat energy can be used for, then the energy is wasted. This is tantamount to being lost forever.

What can you infer about a wave with a short wavelength? Question 5 options: It has a low amplitude. It has a high amplitude. It
Galina-37 [17]

Option C is correct. It has a high frequency. Wavelength is inversly proportional to the frequency. For short-wavelength, the frequency will be high.

<h3>Describe the connection between wavelength & frequency?</h3>

Frequency and wavelength have an inverse connection with one another. As a result, the wave with a high frequency should have a short wavelength.

For short-wavelength, the frequency will be high.

Hence Option C is correct. It has a high frequency.

To learn more about the frequency refer  to the link;
