an open cart is moving along a straight frictionless horizontal track. When rain starts falling vertically into the cart, what h
1 answer:
Answer:
The speed of the cart decreases
Explanation:
The track is frictionless, so we can consider the cart as isolated system (no external forces acting on it): therefore, the momentum of the cart is conserved
where m is the mass and v the speed of the cart.
When it starts raining, some water falls into the cart: this means that the mass of the cart, m, increases. But we said that the momentum, p, must remain constant: in order for that to happen, this means that the speed of the cart, v, must decrease (because the relationship is an inverse relationship, so if m increases, v must decrease).

Answer:
Distance: -30.0 cm; image is virtual, upright, enlarged
Explanation:
We can find the distance of the image using the lens equation:
where:
f = 15.0 cm is the focal length of the lens (positive for a converging lens)
p = 10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
q is the distance of the image from the lens
Solving for q,
The negative sign tells us that the image is virtual (on the same side of the object, and it cannot be projected on a screen).
The magnification can be found as
The magnification gives us the ratio of the size of the image to that of the object: since here |M| = 3, this means that the image is 3 times larger than the object.
Also, the fact that the magnification is positive tells us that the image is upright.
Remember the following formulas to convert temperatures between Farenheit and Celsius:
Convert all the temperatures to Celsius to compare them.
<h2>Part a)</h2>Convert 265ºF to Celsius:
Then, 265ºF is equal to 129.444...ºC. Then, 265ºC is higher than 265ºF.
The correct choice is option 2) 265ºC.
Part b)
Convert 370ºF to Celsius:
Then, 370ºF is equal to 187.777...ºC. Then, 200ºC is higher than 370ºF.
The correct choice is option 2) 200ºC.
