Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{C. 2.3 m/s}}

Explanation:

Data:

m_{\text{A} } = \text{0.20 kg};\,v_{\text{Ai}} = \text{3.0 m/s}\\m_{\text{B} } = \text{0.40 kg};\,v_{\text{Bi}} = \text{2.0 m/s}\\

Calculation:

This is a perfectly inelastic collision.  The two carts stick together after the collision and move with a common final velocity.

The conservation of momentum equation is

\begin{array}{rcl}m_{\text{A}}v_{\text{Ai}} +m_{\text{B}} v_{\text{Bi}}&=&(m_{\text{A}}  + m_{\text{B}})v_{\text{f}}\\0.20\times 3.0 + 0.40\times 2.0 & = & (0.20 + 0.40)v_{\text{f}}\\0.60 + 0.80 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\1.40 & = & 0.60v_{\text{f}}\\v_{\text{f}}&=& \dfrac{1.40}{0.60}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.3 m/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The centre of mass has a velocity of $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.3 m/s}}$}

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The magnetic field along x axis is

B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the current element dl=(0.5\times10^{-3})j

Current in y direction = 5.40 A

Point P located at \vec{r}=(-0.730)i+(0.390)k

The distance is

|\vec{r}|=\sqrt{(0.730)^2+(0.390)^2}

|\vec{r}|=0.827\ m

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using Biot-savart law

B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\timesI\times\dfrac{\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}}{|\vec{r}|^3}

Put the value into the formula

B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k}{(0.827)^3}

We need to calculate the value of \vec{dl}\times\vec{r}

\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=(0.5\times10^{-3})\times(-0.730)i+(0.390)k

\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=i(0.350\times0.5\times10^{-3}-0)+k(0+0.730\times0.5\times10^{-3})

\vec{dl}\times\vec{r}=0.000175i+0.000365k

Put the value into the formula of magnetic field

B=10^{-7}\times5.40\times\dfrac{(0.000175i+0.000365k)}{(0.827)^3}

B=1.670\times10^{-10}i+3.484\times10^{-10}k

Hence, The magnetic field along x axis is

B_{x}=1.670\times10^{-10}\ T

The magnetic field along y axis is zero.

The magnetic field along z axis is

B_{z}=3.484\times10^{-10}\ T

Tyrone, an 85-kg teenager, runs off the end of a horizontal pier and lands on a free-floating 130-kg raft that was initially at
Ghella [55]

Answer:u=4.04 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass m=85 kg

mass of Raft M=130 kg

velocity of raft and man  v=1.6 m/s

Let initial speed of Tyrone is u

Conserving Momentum as there is no external Force

mu=(M+m)v

85\times u=(85+130)\cdot 1.6

u=\frac{215}{85}\cdot 1.6

u=2.529\cdot 1.6=4.04 m/s
