Answer:

<em>Second option</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum</u>

The linear momentum of an object of mass m and speed v is

P=mv

If two or more objects are interacting in the same axis, the total momentum is

P_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...

Where the speeds must be signed according to a fixed reference

The images show a cart of mass 2m moves to the left with speed v since our reference is positive to the right

P_1=-2mv

The second cart of mass m goes to the right at a speed v

P_2=mv

The total momentum before the impact is

P_t=-2mv+mv=-mv

The total momentum after the collision is negative, both carts will join and go to the left side

The first option shows both carts with the same momentum before the collision and therefore, zero momentum after. It's not correct as we have already proven

The third option shows the 2m cart has a positive greater momentum than the other one. We have proven the 2m car has negative momentum. This option is not correct either

The fourth option shows the two carts keep separated after the collision, which contradicts the condition of the question regarding "they hook together".

The second option is the correct one because the mass m_2 has a negative momentum and then the sum of both masses keeps being negative

A 1.5m long string weighs 0.0020 kg. It is tensioned to 100N. A disturbance travels along it with a wavelength of 1.5m, find:a)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example
MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the (velocity)^2 and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}

\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.

Pls help ASAP this questions are science questions ( biology chemistry physics)
Vilka [71]

Answer:

It would be A.

Explanation:

The scale goes from 0 to 14, With 0 being acidic and 14 being basic.

So if 7 is neutral, then anything less than 7 is moving more towards being more acidic.  Anything higher than 7 is moving towards being more basic.

A student drops a 1.5 kg rock off of a 4.0 m tall bridge. The speed of the rock just before it hits the water below is 6 m/s. Ho
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another

Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)

If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy

mass, m = 1.5 kg

height, h = 4.0 m

speed, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²

Kinetic energy = 27 Joules

Potential Energy = mgh

Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4

Potential energy = 58.8 Joules

From equation (1)

27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8

Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules
