Two identical carts are free to move along a straight frictionless track. At time t1, cart X is moving at 2.0 m/s when it collid

es with and sticks to cart Y, which is initially at rest. Draw the graphs that best shows the velocity of cart X before and after the collision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

m_1 u_1+m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

here;

There is a need for conservation of the total momentum that occurred before and after the collision.

So;

m_1 = mass of cart X

m_2 = mas 9f cart Y

u_1 = velocity of cart X (before collision)

u_2 = velocity of cart Y (before collision)

v_1 = velocity of cart X (after collision)

v_2 = velocity of cart Y (after collision)

So;

m(u_1+0) =(m_1v+m_2)v

because the mass is identical and v represents the velocity of both carts.

Now;

u_1 = 2 m/s

u_2 = 0 ( at rest)

∴

m(2) = (2m)v

v = 1 m/s

Thus, we can see from the graphical image attached below that the velocity of X reduces to 1 m/s after collision with cart Y.

A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case
vovangra [49]

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,\rm \mu_k=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,\rm  \mu_s=0.520

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times  cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8m/sec/sec. if an object falls from a tall building how long will it take
sveta [45]

Answer:

5 seconds

Explanation:

<em>Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time</em>

<em>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49 - 0}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49}{t}</em>

<em>9.8t = 49</em>

<em>t =  \frac{49}{9.8}</em>

<em>t = 5</em>
