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

What does it mean to say that some elements are reactive and form ions easily whereas others do not?
butalik [34]

Answer:

Some elements are reactive because the outermost energy levels of their atoms are only partially filled. Therefore, these atoms can easily gain or lose electrons to form ions. The atoms of nonreactive elements have filled outermost energy levels

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.
N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.

mechanical equivalent of heat Do the data for the second part of the experiment support or refute the second hypothesis
Ksivusya [100]
  • The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis.
  • As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased.
  • Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.

When we state something about the results on the basis whether the observed data supports the original hypothesis, we say that we are concluding the results.

What is the relationship between force and acceleration based on Newton's 2nd law?

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
