Answer:
0.1 m/s
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
Mass of 1st cart (m₁) = 500 g
Initial velocity of 1st cart (u₁) = 0.25 m/s
Mass of 2nd cart (m₂) = 750 g
Initial velocity of 2nd cart (u₂) = 0 m/s
Velocity (v) after collision =.?
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
(500 × 0.25) + (750 × 0) = v(500 + 750)
125 + 0 = v(1250)
125 = 1250v
Divide both side by 1250
v = 125 / 1250
v = 0.1 m/s
Thus, the two cart will move with a velocity of 0.1 m/s after collision.
Volume of a block can be found by: length × width × height. So:
3.5cm × 2.8cm × 1.6cm = 15.68cm^3
The 78g box, since it has less weight, would accelerate faster. If you had a frictionless surface, and you conducted this experiment, both boxes, without any outside forces, would accelerate at the same rate forever. However, in this problem we must assume the surface is not frictionless. Friction is determined by weight; the more weight, the more friction. Since the 78g box has less weight, it has less friction, making it easier to push with less force.
