For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively
(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s
<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>
Answer:
Photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation.
Explanation:
The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it. In a broader definition, the radiant energy may be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, X-rays, or gamma rays; the material may be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles may be ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) as well as electrons. The phenomenon was fundamentally significant in the development of modern physics because of the puzzling questions it raised about the nature of light—particle versus wavelike behaviour—that were finally resolved by Albert Einstein in 1905. The effect remains important for research in areas from materials science to astrophysics, as well as forming the basis for a variety of useful devices.
Answer:
W = M g weight of ball
T cos θ = W balancing vertical forces
T sin θ = F balancing horizontal forces
tan θ = F / W dividing equations
F = W tan θ when θ equals zero F equals zero
Since the acceleration is uniform, we can calculate it from the data we are given:
a = (vf - vi)/2
where vf=33 m/s and vi=11 m/s
Then use Suvat's equation:
x(t) = vi*t + 0.5 * a * t
where t=20s
