A 306 g cart moves on a horizontal, frictionless surface with a constant speed of 14.2 cm/s. A 76.3 g piece of modeling clay is
1 answer:
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the momentum for an inelastic shock. Mathematically this can be described as
Where,
m_{1,2} = Mass of each object
v_{1,2} = Initial velocity of each object
V_f = Final Velocity
If we assign the value of mass 1 and speed 1 to the cart and the variable of mass 2 to clay (which is at rest) we will have:
Therefore the final speed of the system would be 11.36cm/s

We have vector
Therefore,
x component = 17.9 * cos80 degree = 3.108
y component = 17.9 * sin80 degrees = 17.628
<h3>What is a vector?</h3>An object with both magnitude and direction is referred to be a vector. A vector can be visualized geometrically as a directed line segment, with an arrow pointing in the direction and a length equal to the magnitude of the vector. The vector points in a direction from its tail to its head.
If the magnitude and direction of two vectors match, they are the same vector. This shows that if we move a vector to a different location without rotating it, the final vector will be the same as the initial vector. The vectors that denote force and velocity are two examples. The direction of force and velocity are both fixed. The size of the vector would represent the force's strength or the velocity's corresponding speed.
