Two carts on an air track have the same mass and speed and are traveling toward each other. If they collide and stick together,
lora16 [44]

Answer:

p = 0, K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2} (before collision), K_{B} = 0 (after collision).

Explanation:

The total momentum is obtained using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

m\cdot v_{A} - m \cdot v_{A} = 2\cdot v_{B}

It is trivial to find that final speed and total momentum of the system are zero:

p = 0

The total kinetic energy of the system becomes zero due to the inellastic collision and the same masses and speeds. Total kinetic energies before and after collision are, respectively:

K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2}

K_{B} = 0

C. Two persons A and B are pushing a block from opposite sides with
Stels [109]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

1) You'll just have to sum the force vectors, and since they are opposite, you'll calculate the difference of their magnitudes, in absolute value.

Ftot = |F1 - F2| = 6N - 5N = 1N

2)The direction will be the same as the greater force's direction.

Sam and Reagan are arguing about waves. Sam says that sound waves are transverse, but Reagan says they Are longitude. Who is rig
sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is Reagan is right because sound waves are compressional waves.

Reason is because Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. It requires a medium to propagate. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

1. While riding a chairlift, a 55-kg skier is raised a vertical distance of 370 m. What is the total change in the skier's gravi
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<em>199,430Joules</em>

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a falling object due to virtue of its position.

gravitational potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

gravitational potential energy = 55 * 9.8 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 539 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 199,430

<em>Hence the total change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199,430Joules</em>
