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 bus travels a distance of 120 km with a speed of 40km per hour and returns with a speed of 30km per hour calculate the average
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

35 km/hr

Explanation:

Average speed = (total of the speed)/(the sets of speeds given)

Direction does not matter in this instance since speed is only magnitude,

Average speed = (30 + 40)/2

Average speed = 70 ÷ 2

= 35 km/hr

A trapeze artist swings in simple harmonic motion with a period of 3.8 s.
pogonyaev
As we know that time period of simple pendulum is given as

T = 2π √L/g

here we know that

T = 3.8 s

now from above equation we know that

T² = 4π² (L/g)

now on rearranging the above equation we will have

L = gT² / 4π²

now plug in all data into it

L = (9.8) (3.8)² / (4) (3.14)²

so the length of the cable must be 3.6 m

What force is necessary to accelerate a 2500 kg care from rest to 20 m/s over 10 seconds?
EleoNora [17]
Force = mass x acceleration
force = 2500kg x (20m/s / 10m/s)
force = 2500kg x 2m/s^2
force = 5000kg m/s^2 = 5kN

i hope this is right (^^)

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}
