Hello!
A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result? A) law of differential mass B) law of conservation of momentum C) law of unequal forces D) law of accelerated collision
We have the following data¹:
ΔP (momentum before impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 5 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 0 m/s
Solving:
ΔP = mA*vA + mB*vB
ΔP = 10 kg*5 m/s + 5 kg*0 m/s
ΔP = 50 kg*m/s + 0 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum before impact)
We have the following data²:
ΔP (momentum after impact) = ?
mA (mass) = 10 kg
vA (velocity) = 0 m/s
mB (mass) = 5 kg
vB (velocity) = 10 m/s
Solving:
Δp = mA*vA + mB*vB
Δp = 10 kg*0 m/s + 5 kg*10 m/s
Δp = 0 kg*m/s + 50 kg*m/s
Δp = 50 kg*m/s ← (momentum after impact)
*** Then, which principle explains the result ?
Law of conservation of momentum, <u>since the total momentum of body A and B before impact is equal to the total momentum of body A and B after impact.</u>
Note: Bodies of different masses and velocities may have the same kinetic energy, if proportionality between the units is maintained it can occur that they have the same kinetic energy.
Answer:
B) law of conservation of momentum

Answer:
Centripetal acceleration,
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration:
Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.
Centripetal means towards the center.
Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.
An acceleration is a change in velocity.
Formula for Centripetal acceleration:
Given here,
Velocity = 4.5 m/s
radius = 7.7 m
To Find :
Solution:
We have,
Substituting given value in it we get
Centripetal acceleration,
