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

dropped vertically onto the cart. If the clay sticks to the cart, find the final speed of the system. Answer in units of cm/s.

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

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

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:

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

(306)(14.2) + (76.3)(0) = (306+76.3)V_f

V_f = 11.36cm/s

Therefore the final speed of the system would be 11.36cm/s

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The liquid formed from a melted solid has the same mass as the solid has.

Explanation:

As long as no water can escape, the mass of the ice before melting must equal the mass of the liquid water after.
