A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass

12 kg. Assuming the child rides on the cart after the collision, find the speed of the child and shopping cart just after the child jumps on. show all work please

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

How would the absence of gravity affect the formation of planets?
Mumz [18]
In the absence of gravity, t<span>he rocks and debris
would never accrete into a planet. (B)

Also by the way, it wouldn't matter much, because
there wouldn't be a star to orbit around, AND orbits
wouldn't exist either.</span>

what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.

How long does it take for an airplane to change its velocity from 140 m/s to 180 m/s if its
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = 4ms⁻²,  Vf = 180 m/s  &  Vi = 140m/s

a = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

4 = \frac{180-140}{t}

t = 40/4

t = 10sec

To Measure Distance Use third Equation of Motion:

2aS = Vf²-Vi²

S = \frac{180*180 - 140*140}{2(4)}

S = 12800/8 = 1600m

6th grade science I mark as brainliest.​
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

2m 13\frac{1}{3}s

Explanation:

1.5m = 1s

200m = \frac{200}{1.5} × 1s

          = 133\frac{1}{3}s

          = 2m 13\frac{1}{3}s
