Physics
1 answer:
nydimaria [60]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

We humans are on track to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that the concentration in the future more than double
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.

Explanation:

CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.

An object on a planet has a mass of 243 kg. What is the acceleration of the
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of a planet of mass M and radius R

a = G*M/R^2.

In this case we have:

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N (m/kg)^2

R = 2.32 x 10^7 m

M = 6.35 x 10^30 kg

Now we can compute:

a = (6.67*6.35/2.32^2)x10^(-11 + 30 - 2*7) m/s^2 = 786,907.32 m/s^2

The acceleration does not depend on the mass of the object.

A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point
