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

Is this true or false the kinetic energy of a freely falling object decreases as it begins to fall
Naddika [18.5K]
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object as it moves. It has more kinetic energy the faster it moves. Because a falling object is increasing in speed, it would also increase in kinetic energy. Hope this helps! :)

A 2-f and a 1-f capacitor are connected in series and a voltage is applied across the combination. the 2-f capacitor has:_______
VARVARA [1.3K]

Half the potential difference of the the1-µF

A circuit must have a capacitance of 2 F across a 1 kV potential difference for an electrical technician. He has access to a sizable number of 1F capacitors, each of which can sustain a potential difference of no more than 400 V. Please suggest a configuration that uses the fewest capacitors possible.

The 2-mu F capacitor has the following characteristics: none of the aforementioned; half the charge of the 1-mu F capacitor; twice the charge of the 1-mu F capacitor; and half the potential difference of the 1-mu F capacitor.

Q = C V, C = Capacitance of the capacitor gives the charge stored by a capacitor with an applied voltage V. V is the applied voltage.
