The equation
(option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.
The horizontal momentum is given by:


Where:
- m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
- m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>
Then, the horizontal momentum is:

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

Therefore, the equation
represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

Answer:

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge
.
Explanation:
Given:
- side of a square,

- charge on one corner of the square,

- charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square,

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u>


∴Distance of center from corners, 
Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

<u>For charge
we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>


<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>


So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge
.
The object will not be able to accelerate perpendicular to direction of motion
A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Answer:
Explanation:
No of atoms of Ra in 1 g of sample = 6.023 x 10²³ / 226
N = 2.66 x 10²¹
disintegration constant λ = .693 / half life
half life = 1620 x 365 x 60 x 60 x 24 = 5.1 x 10¹⁰ s
disintegration constant λ = .693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰
radioactivity dn / dt = λN
= (.693 / 5.1 x 10¹⁰ ) x 2.66 x 10²¹
= .3614 x 10¹¹ per sec
= 3.614 x 10¹⁰ / s
