The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
Answer:
total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s
velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s
Explanation:
Given data
mass m1 = 2.3 kg
mass m2 = 1.5 kg
final velocity V2 = 4.9 m/s
final velocity V3 = - 1.9 m/s
to find out
total momentum and velocity of the first cart
solution
we know mass and final velocty
and initial velocity of second cart V1 = 0
so now we can calculate total momentum that is m1 v2 + m2 v2
total momentum = 2.3 ×4.9 + 1.5 ×(-1.9)
total momentum = 8.42 kgm/s
and
conservation of momentum is
m1 V + m2 v1 = m1 v2 + m2 v3
put all value and find V
2.3 V + 1.5 ( 0) = 2.3 ( 4.9 ) + 1.5 ( -1.9)
V = 8.42 / 2.3
V = 3.660 m/s
so velocity of the first cart is 3.660 m/s
D = 1/2 g t^2. It works out to 44.1 meters.
Answer:
1.034m/s
Explanation:
We define the two moments to develop the problem. The first before the collision will be determined by the center of velocity mass, while the second by the momentum preservation. Our values are given by,
<em>Part A)</em> We apply the center of mass for velocity in this case, the equation is given by,
Substituting,
Part B)
For the Part B we need to apply conserving momentum equation, this formula is given by,
Where here 
is the velocity after the collision.
