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 )

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 1 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The  tension on the clotheslines is  T  = 8.83 \ N

Explanation:

The  diagram illustrating this  question is  shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that  

    The distance between the two poles is  d =  12 \ m

     The mass tie to the middle of the clotheslines m  =  1 \ kg

     The length at which the clotheslines sags is  l  = 4 \ m

Generally the weight due to gravity at the middle of the  clotheslines is mathematically represented as

          W =  mg

let the angle which the tension on the  clotheslines makes with the horizontal be  \theta which mathematically evaluated using the SOHCAHTOA as follows

        Tan  \theta =  \frac{ 4}{6}

=>     \theta =  tan^{-1}[\frac{4}{6} ]

=>     \theta  =  33.70^o

   So the vertical component of this  tension is  mathematically represented a  

      T_y  = 2*  Tsin \theta

Now at equilibrium the  net horizontal force is  zero which implies that

          T_y  -  mg  = 0

=>       T sin \theta  -  mg  =  0

substituting values

          T  =   \frac{m*g}{sin (\theta )}

substituting values

           T  =   \frac{1 *9.8}{2 * sin (33.70 )}

           T  = 8.83 \ N

An open bed truck is moving at 20 m/s and comes to a stop. A 100 kg crate sitting in the back of the truck remains at rest in th
zzz [600]

The work done was done by friction to keep the crate from moving as the truck came to a stop is 20,000 J.

<h3>Work done by friction to prevent the crate from moving</h3>

The work done is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy.

W = K.E

W = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of crate
  • v is speed of the crate with respect to the truck = 20 m/s

W = ¹/₂(100)(20²)

W = 20,000 J

Thus, the work done was done by friction to keep the crate from moving as the truck came to a stop is 20,000 J.

Which statement illustrates how progress in engineering has affected the natural environment?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil.

Explanation:

Mining is defined as the process that involves the extraction of valuable minerals from large amounts of waste rock.

Progress in engineering has affected the natural environment and mining is one of the best examples of this. The use of modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil and highly influences the fertility of the soil.  It is hard to reconstruct topsoil and modern mining equipment continuously damaging soil fertility.

Hence, the correct answer is "A. Extracting mineral resources with modern mining equipment removes fertile topsoil."

Which of the following quantities is NOT a vector?
OverLord2011 [107]
Kinetic energy is not a vector. This is because it is not a directed quantity. The other 3 have a sense of direction.
