Cart 1 of mass 3.0 kg moving to the right at 2 m/s and collides with a Cart 2 of mass 2.0 kg moving to the left at

Physics

Answer:

V = -0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of cart 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of cart 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of cart 2, m₂ = 2 kg

Speed of cart 2, v₂ = -4 m/s (left)

aWe need to find the velocity of the carts after the collision if they stick together. Let the common speed be V. Using the law of conservation of momentum to find it such that,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

Put all the values,

V=\dfrac{3\times 2+2\times (-4)}{(3+2)}\\\\=-0.4\ m/s

So, the velocity of the carts after the collision is equal to 0.4 m/s to the left.

A sound wave travels through water.what best describes the direction of the water particles?
bazaltina [42]
The water particles move perpendicular to the source of the sound wave. The water particles move in the same direction as the vibrating source of the sound wave. The water particles move in random patterns because the sound is diffracted in many directions

A 1325 kg car and a 2050 kg pickup truck approach a curve on a highway that has a radius of 255 m. At what angle should the high
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

the banking angle of the road is 24.2⁰

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the vehicles considered, v = 75 mi/h

Speed in m/s ⇒ 1 mi/h --------> 0.44704 m/s

                         75 mi/h --------> ?

=   75 x 0.44704 m/s = 33.528 m/s

radius of the curve, r = 255 m

The banking angle of the road is calculated as;

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v^2}{rg} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{33.528^2}{255\times 9.8} )\\\\\theta  = tan^{-1}(0.44983)\\\\\theta  =24.2^0

Therefore, the banking angle of the road is 24.2⁰

Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300 kg. Spaceship 1 has an initial momentum magnitude of 600 kg-m/s. What is it
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Initial speed of the spaceship 1, v = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of spaceship 1 and 2 that have equal mass are 300 kg

Initial momentum of the spaceship 1 is 600 kg-m/s

To find :

We need to find the initial momentum of spaceship 1.

Solve :

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and its velocity. Its SI unit is kg-m/s. Mathematically, it is given by :

p=mv

v=\dfrac{p}{m}

v=\dfrac{600\ kg-m/s}{300\ kg}

v = 2 m/s

Therefore the initial speed of spaceship 1 is 2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte
VikaD [51]

Answer:

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

where

\rho is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A}

2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is

R_2=\frac{2\rho L}{A}

3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is

R_3=\frac{\rho L}{2A}

By comparing the three expressions, we find

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).
