Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten

ts, of 5.0 kg, and the other has total mass of 3.0 kg. If the 3.0 kg cart is moving at 3.0 m/s after the spring is allowed to push the carts apart, what is the velocity of the 5.0 kg cart after release? The system is closed.A) -1.8 m/s B) -5.0 m/sC) -0.56 m/sD) -0.0 m/s

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

now plug in all data into above equation

5(v) + 3(3)

5v = -9

v = -1.8 m/s

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

At 2 P.M., ship A is 150 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 35 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast i
labwork [276]

Answer:

The distance between the ships changing at 6PM is 21.29Km/h

Explanation:

Ship A is sailing east at 35Km/h and ship B is sailing West at 25Km/h

Given

dx/dt= 35

dy/dt= 25

dv/dt= ???? at t= 6PM - 2PM= 4

Therefore t=4

We know ship A travels at 150km in the x-direction and Ship A at t=4 travels at 4.35 Which is 140 also in x-direction

So, we use:

D^2 = (150 - x)^2 + y^2;

D^2 = (150 - 140)^2 + y^2

But ship B travels at t=4, at 4.25 =100 in the y-direction

so, let's use the equation:

D^2 = 10^2 + 100^2

= D= sqrt*(10 + 100)

Lets use 2DD' = 2xx' + 2yy'

Differentiating with respect to t we have:

D•d(D)/dt = -(10)•dx/dt + 100•dy/dt

=100.5 d(D)/dt = (-10)•35 + (100)•25

When t=4, we have x=(140-150) =10 and y=100

= D = sqrt*(10^2 + 100^2)

=100.5

= 100.5 dD/dt = 10.35 +100.25

= dD/dt = 21.29km/h

How do you solve for initial velocity?
nikdorinn [45]
Velocity is a function of time and defined by both a magnitude and a direction.  Often in physics problems, you will need to calculate the initial velocity (speed and direction) at which an object in question began to travel. There are multiple equations that can be used to determine initial velocity. Using the information given in a problem, you can determine the proper equation to use and easily answer your question.
