In another physics experiment, carts run along a frictionless, level track. Cart A is 1 kg and Cart B is 2 kg. Initially cart A

is moving to the right at 2.0 m/s and cart B is moving to the left at 7.0 m/s. After they collide, Cart B is moving to the left at 3.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the velocity of Cart A?

Answer: v_{f_A} = 5 m/s

Explanation: For collisions, use linear momentum, whose formula is: P = m.v and knowing the law of conservation states that momentum of a closed system is constant in time, i.e. initial momentum equals final momentum:

p_{f} = p_{i}

m_{A}v_{f_A} + m_{B}v_{f_B} = m_{A}v_{i_A} + m_{B}v_{i_B}

Suppose the referential for velocity is positive to the right:

1.v_{f_A} + 2.(-3.5) = 1.(+2) + 2.(-7)

1.v_{f_A} = 7 + 2 - 14

v_{f_A} = - 5

The negative sign, in this case, indicates cart A is going to the left.

The magnitude of velocity of cart A is 5 m/s

In this poem, what is the significance of the poet’s comparison of love to "childhood’s faith"?
Rama09 [41]
Well, you can analyze the poem any way you want, poetry is open to everyone's interpretation. I believe that when the poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, compares love to "childhood's faith," she wants to show the innocence of that love. Children have blind faith in their parents, friends, etc. and can be quite naive, the way her love is as well. However, she can also be talking about the power of her love, because a child's faith is unbreakable - it is so strong, just as much as her love. Hope this helps!
