Linear momentum (mass x speed) has to be conserved.

-- Momentum before the jump:

(boy's mass) x (boy's speed) = (25 kg) x (4.0 m/s) = 100 kg-m/s

(cart's mass) x (cart's speed) = (15 kg) x (zero) = zero

Total momentum before the jump:  (100 kg-m/s) + (zero) = (100 kg-m/s)

-- Momentum after the jump:

(mass of boy+cart) x (speed of boy+cart) = (40 kg) x (speed)

-- Momentum after the jump = momentum before the jump

(40 kg) x (speed) = 100 kg-m/s

Divide each side by  40 kg:

Speed = (100 kg-m/s) / (40 kg)

<em>Speed = 2.5 m/s</em>  (d)

balandron [24]
A salt is dissolved in water which has a freezing point of 0 degrees celsius. the freezing point of the solution would be dependent on the concentration of the salt in the solution. It is explained by the colligative properties. These <span>are </span>properties<span> that depend upon the concentration of solute molecules or ions, but not upon the identity of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>

If a 100N weight sits in an express elevator what will be the weight when the elevator is traveling at a constant speed
yarga [219]
This is a "trick" question.

If the elevator is traveling at constant speed, it means it is at rest. This means anything inside the elevator traveling at constant speed, weights the same as in an elevator not moving -also at rest-.

So the 100N weight's weight doesn't change in an elevator traveling at constant speed.
