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

Julli [10]

Answer:

5s

Explanation:

because m/s=s/t so,

0.5m/s=10m/t

t=10m/0.5m/s

t=5sec

What is the density of a roll of pennies containing 50 pennies?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Density is defined as:

Density = Mass/Volume

Now, density is an intensive property, this means that if you have 10 grams of a given material or 1000 grams of the same material, in both cases you will find the same density.

Then a roll of 50 pennies has the same density that a single penny.

The measures of a single penny are:

Mass = 2.5 g

Thickness = 1.52 mm

Radius = 9.525 mm

The coin is a cylinder, and the volume of a cylinder is:

V = pi*r^2*h

where:

pi = 3.14

r = radius = 9.525mm

h = thikness = 1.52mm

The volume is:

V = 3.14*(9.525mm)^2*1.52mm = 433.015 mm^3

The density will be:

D = 2.5g/433.015mm^3 = 0.00577 g/mm^3

Basile [38]

Answer:

p.d' = 37.6 V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Potential difference p.d=18.8V

New Capacitor C_1=C_2/2

Generally the equation for Capacitor capacitance is mathematically given by

C=\frac{eA}{d}

Generally the equation for New p.d' is mathematically given by

 C_2V=C_1*p.d'

  p.d' = 2V

 p.d'= 2 * 18.8

 p.d' = 37.6 V
