In a certain physics experiment, carts run along a frictionless, level track. Cart A is 1 kg and Cart B is 2 kg. Initially cart

A is moving to the right at 3.0 m/s and cart B is moving to the left at 7.0 m/s. After they collide, they stick together. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the two carts?

Answer:v=-\frac{11}{3} m/s \left

Explanation:

Given

Mass of car A\left ( m_a\right )=1 kg

Mass of car B\left ( m_b\right )=2 kg

velocity of cart A=3 m/s

velocity of cart B=-7 m/s

Conserving momentum

m_au_a+m_bu_b=\left ( m_a+m_b\right )v

v=\frac{m_au_a+m_bu_b}{\left ( m_a+m_b\right )}

v=-\frac{11}{3} m/s \left ( i.e. in\ left\right )

Un puente(construido de acero) que conduce hacia una bahía mide 1.30X10-3m entre sus torres de apoyo. ¿Cuánto se dilata el puent
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

ΔL = 0.429 m

Explanation:

The expression for linear thermal expansion is

         ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 11 10⁻⁶ ºC⁻¹

the initial length of the bridge is L₀ = 1.30 10³ m and the temperature variation is ΔT = 30 ºC

calculate  

        ΔL = 11 10⁻⁶  1.30 10³  30

        ΔL = 4.29 10⁻¹ m

        ΔL = 0.429 m

An AED should only be used if a person is too tired to continue with chest compressions.
malfutka [58]

The given statement "An AED should only be used if a person is too tired to continue with chest compressions" is false.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Most people think that they are very tired after applying the compress for 2-3 minutes. When the compressor is tired, it tends to compress more slowly. For this reason, rescuers are advised to do compressions in every 2 min to prevent fatigue and optimise the compressions quality. This should only be done if the person does not show signs of life or is dead, does not respond and breathes normally.

For example, consider you come across the victim in a narrow place and you have two helpers: Rescuer 2 arrives with the AED (automated external defibrillator) and puts it on the opposite side from Rescuer 1, who does chest compressions. Rescuer 2 turns on the AED and fixes the electrodes to the victim's chest, connecting wires to the AED if necessary. Rescuer 1 can continue CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) by placing electrodes until the victim's heart rate has been analysed.

In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 43.4
Anton [14]

Answer:

Average net force, F = 15157.15 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of the car and riders is, m=3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Final speed of the car, v = 43.4 m/s

Time, t = 8.59 seconds

We need to find the  average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets. It can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F = m a

F=m(\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=3\times 10^3\ kg\times (\dfrac{43.4\ m/s-0}{8.59\ s})

F = 15157.15 N

So, the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets. Hence, this is the required solution.

5 examples of how intertia is used in real life
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

- your body moving forwards when sudden brakes/force is applied e.g. sudden braking in a car

- feeling a backwards force when something moves quickly from rest e.g a bus

- when you stir a cup of tea, it continues to swirl for a short period of time even though you have stopped

- when shaking a tree, it's leaves or fruit fall down

- satellites which move due to the inertia of motion

hope this helped :)
