A 0.500-kilogram cart traveling to the right on a horizontal, frictionless surface at 2.20 meters per second collides head on wi
babunello [35]

Consider the motion towards right as positive and motion towards left as negative.

m₁ = mass of the cart moving to right = 0.500 kg

v₁ = initial velocity before collision of the cart moving towards right = 2.2 m/s

m₂ = mass of cart moving to left = 0.800 kg

v₂ = initial velocity before collision of the cart moving towards left = - 1.1 m/s

initial momentum of the system of carts before the collision is given as

P₁ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

P₁ = (0.500) (2.2) + (0.800) (- 1.1)

P₁ = 0.22 kg m/s

P₂ = momentum of system of carts after collision

As per conservation of momentum,

Momentum of system of carts after collision = Momentum of system of carts before collision

P₂ = P₁

P₂ = 0.22 kg m/s

A piece of taffy slams into and sticks to another identical piece of taffy that is at rest. The momentum of the two pieces stuck
Yanka [14]

Answer:0.5

Explanation:

Given

Piece of taffy slams in to sticks to another identical  piece and stuck into it.

Let m be the mass of taffy and u be the initial velocity of taffy and v be the final velocity of system.

Conserving momentum

mu=2mv

v=\frac{u}{2}

Initial kinetic energy=\frac{mu^2}{2}

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{2m(\frac{u}{2})^2}{2}=\frac{mu^2}{4}

change in kinetic energy \Delta K.E.=\frac{mu^2}{2}-\frac{mu^2}{4}=\frac{mu^2}{4}

change in kinetic energy will contribute in heat energy

thus fraction of kinetic energy converted in to heat =\frac{heat\ energy}{Initial\ kinetic\ Energy} =\frac{\frac{mu^2}{4}}{\frac{mu^2}{2}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:18.29m/s^2

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration=(velocity)^2÷radius

Centripetal acceleration=(32^2)/56

Centripetal acceleration=(32×32)/56

Centripetal acceleration=1024/56

Centripetal acceleration=18.29m/s^2
