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

An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area Separated by a very small distance 푑. This ca
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

doubled the initial value

Explanation:

Let the area of plates be A and the separation between them is d.

Let V be the potential difference of the battery.

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U = Q^2/2C   ...(1)

Now the battery is disconnected, it means the charge is constant.

the separation between the plates is doubled.

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

C' = C/2

the new energy stored

U' = Q^2 /  2C'

U' = Q^2/C = 2 U

The energy stored in the capacitor is doubled the initial amount.

A node is a point on a standing wave that has no displacement from the rest position. At the nodes, _____.
Kitty [74]

Answer: (B) There is complete destructive interference between the incoming and reflected waves

Explanation:

For example, if you pluck a guitar the waves will travel back and forth. They consist of nodes and anti-nodes. It is created, when the wave traveling to one side and bounces of the other end and comes back. As it travels to the other side, it is reflected thus, comes back. So standing waves occurs when there is interference.

When the wave is produced, the points where the string is not moving are called nodes and where they are moving are called anti-nodes. The positions where nodes are produced, destructive interference occurs and where anti-nodes are produced, constructive interference occurs
