A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m

lbvjy [14]

The equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ (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:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg

m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg

$v_{1}_{i}$ : is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>

$v_{2}_{i}$ : is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)

$v_{1}_{f}$ : is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>

$v_{2}_{f}$ : is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}$

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:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)$

Therefore, the equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

An astronaut having mass 320 kg with equipment included is attempting an untethered space walk. The astronaut is initially at re

ExtremeBDS [4]

This can be solved using momentum balance, since momentum is conserved, the momentum at point 1 is equal to the momentum of point 2. momentum = mass x velocity
m1v1 = m2v2
(0.03kg x 900 m/s ) = 320(v2)
v2 = 27 / 320
v2 = 0.084 m/s is the speed of the astronaut

If the frequency of q of a trait is 0.4, what is the frequency of p?

lianna [129]

In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.

The 4kg head of a sledge hammer is moving at 6m/s when it strikes a chisel, driving it into a log. The duration of the impact (o

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

Explanation:

By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:

$\bar F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot (v_{2}-v_{1})$ (1)

Where:

$\bar F$ - Average impact force, in newtons.

$\Delta t$ - Duration of the impact, in seconds.

$m$ - Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.

If we know that $\Delta t = 0.0020\,s$ , $m = 4\,kg$ , $v_{1} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then we estimate the average impact force is:

$\bar F = \frac{m\cdot (v_{2}-v_{1})}{\Delta t}$

$\bar F = 12000\,N$

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.
