Answer:

24.8m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 10kg

u1=25m/s

m2=17kg

u2=16m/s

v1=10m/s

v2=??

Applying the conservation of linear momentum

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

substitute

10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2

250+272=100+17v2

522=100+17v2

522-100=17v2

422=17v2

Divide both sides by 17

v2= 422/17

v2= 24.8 m/s

Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart

The voltage across the input terminals of a transformer is 120 V. The primary has 25 loops and the secondary has 50 loops. The v
saw5 [17]

Answer:

240 V

Explanation:

Vp = 120 V

Np = 25

Ns = 50

Vs = ?

Vs / Vp = Ns / Np

Vs / 120 = 50 / 25

Vs / 120 = 2

Vs = 240 V

A student conducts an experiment in which an object travels across a horizontal surface while for 2 s a net force is applied to
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

  D.  No, because the student needs to know the direction that the force is applied

Explanation:

The change in momentum depends on the direction of the force as well as its magnitude. Since the graph only supplies force magnitude information, it is insufficient to allow the student to calculate the change in momentum.
