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

She can first measure the mass on the scale, then measure the cm^3 by putting water in the cylinder and measuring the original water level minus the water level after you put the rock in. The take the measurement from the scale (g) and divide it by the measurement in the graduated cylinder (c^3).

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
Talja [164]

Answer:

A) 5.2 x 10³ N

B) 8.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

Part A)

F_{g} = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

T = Tension force in upward direction

F_{d} = Drag force in upward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

F_{g} - F_{d} - T = 0

7000 - 1800 - T = 0

T = 5200 N

T = 5.2 x 10³ N

Part B)

F_{g} = weight of the craft in downward direction = tension force in the cable when stationary = 7000 N

T = Tension force in upward direction

F_{d} = Drag force in downward direction = 1800 N

Force equation for the motion of craft is given as

T  - F_{g} - F_{d} = 0

T - 7000 - 1800  = 0

T = 8800 N

T = 8.8 x 10³ N
