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 weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Zielflug [23.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

8. 2 Hz

9. 0.5 seconds

10. 20 cm


<u>Explanation</u>

<u>Q 8</u>

Frequency is the number of oscillation in a unit time. It is the rate at which something repeats itself in a second.

In this case, the spring bob up and down 2 times per second.

∴ Frequency = 2 Hz

<u>Q 9</u>

Period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.

2 oscillations takes 1 second

1 oscillation = 1/2 seconds.

∴ Period = 0.5 seconds


<u>Q 10</u>

Amplitude is the the maximum displacement of the spring.

In this case the spring bob up 20 cm. This is it's displacement.

∴ Amplitude = 20 cm

What disadvantage of convex mirror​
nikklg [1K]

☁️ Answer ☁️

The main disadvantage of convex mirrors is that they show a distorted picture of what is behind you. Distances are seen not as they are in reality and things appear closer than they really are. They are showing cars approximately twice as far away as they actually are.

Hope it helps.

Have a nice day hyung!~  ̄▽ ̄❤️

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Explanation:

 The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

 Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius.

 We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

  Approximate volume of head =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3

 In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

 So, volume of head = Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3
