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.

Dimas [21]

So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.

I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty.  You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV.  But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any <u><em>work</em></u> yet.

In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.

Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero.  So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the <em>Work is zero</em>.

A car is driving 55 miles per hour east. The car changes direction to head north but still travels at 55 miles per hour. Which i
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.
