A 2.0-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.8-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is 5.9 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.7 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant

Answer:

the total momentum of the system before collision is 6.94 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 1.8 kg

velocity of the first cart before collision, u₁ = 5.9 m/s

velocity of the second cart before collision, u₂ = -2.7 m/s

The total momentum of the system before collision is calculated as follows;

P_t = P_1 + P_2 \\\\P_t = m_1u_1 + m_2u_2\\\\P_t = (2\times 5.9) + (1.8 \times -2.7)\\\\P_t = 11.8 - 4.86\\\\P_t = 6.94 \ kgm/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the system before collision is 6.94 kgm/s

A photon ionizes a hydrogen atom from the ground state. The liberated electron 11. recombines with a proton into the first excit
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

Explanation:

given,

energy at ground level = -13.6 e V

energy at first exited state = - 3.4 e V

A photon of energy ionized from ground state and electron of energy K is released.

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

K combine with photon in first exited state giving out photon of energy

h\nu_2 =\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=\dfrac{12400}{466}

            = 26.6 e V

h c = 6.626 ×  10⁻³⁴ ×  3  × 10⁸  = 12400 e V A°

K + ( 3.4 ) = 26.6 e V

a) energy of free electron

K = 26.6 - 3.4 = 23.2 e V

b) energy of the original photon

h ν₁ - 13.6 = K

h ν₁  = 23.2 + 13.6

       = 36.8 e V

energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV

Que unidad de medida se utiliza para expresar la capacidad o volumen de un objeto? Da un ejemplo
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Explicado a continuación</em>

Explanation:

Hay una pequeña diferencia conceptual entre la capacidad y el volumen de un objeto, a saber:

El volumen hace referencia al espacio que ocupa un objeto, mientras que la capacidad hace referencia al espacio que este contiene. Calcular el volumen de un cuerpo es medir cuánto ocupa mientras que calcular su capacidad es medir cuánto cabe en él.

En la práctica, ambos conceptos son usados indistintamente, ya que tienen unidades equivalentes.

El volumen tiene unidades de longitud al cubo, como por ejemplo:

m^3,\ cm^3\ ,dm^3,\ pie^3\ , pulg^3

y la capacidad se suele expresar en litros o unidades derivadas: litro, mililitro, centilitro, etc.

Como mencionamos, hay equivalencia engre los dos grupos de unidades. Entre las más conocidas están:

1\ lt=1\ dm^3,\ 1\ m^3=1000\ lt

To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine
Sindrei [870]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

A resistance force is also known as friction. And the efficiency of a machine is affected by friction.

A machine of lower efficiency has higher magnitude of friction than a machine of higher efficiency.

Therefore, To obtain the same resistance force, a greater force must be exerted in a machine of lower efficiency than in a machine of higher efficiency. This is true
