A team of students conducts a series of experiments to investigate collisions. In the first experiment, the two carts collide wi

th each other on a smooth surface. The carts stick together and continue to move forward. In the second experiment, the two carts collide with each other on a rough surface. The carts stick together and quickly come to rest. In both experiments, the initial speeds of the carts are identical. Is there a difference in the total energy of the two experiments?

Answer: Yes, there is a difference in the total energy of the two experiments because the first two carts that were on a smooth surface had friction which causes two or more objects to stick together.

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 61 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
Alisiya [41]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

For this piece of wire . . .

Resistance = (61 volts) / (6 Amperes)

Resistance = (61/6) (V/A)

<em>Resistance = (10 and 1/6) ohms</em>

Since you know the voltage and current, the length doesn't matter.

A teacher pushed a 98 newton desk across a floor for a distance of 5 meter he exerted a horizontal force of 20 newton for four s
Rom4ik [11]
Missing question: "how much work is done by the teacher?" (found on internet)

Solution:
The work done to move the desk across the floor is equal to
W=Fd
where F is the horizontal force applied to move the desk, and d is the distance covered by the desk. If we use F=20 N and d=5 m, we find the work done:
W=Fd=(20 N)(5 m)=100 J

Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

2.55348650884 m/s

2.67400481907 m/s²

10.6960192763 m/s²

Explanation:

d = Diameter of the ride = 16 ft=16\times 0.3048=4.8768\ m

r = Radius = \dfrac{4.8768}{2}=2.4384\ m

t = Time taken = 6 seconds

Velocity is given by

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\pi 2.4384}{6}\\\Rightarrow v=2.55348650884\ m/s

The speed is 2.55348650884 m/s

Acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{(\dfrac{2\pi 2.4384}{6})^2}{2.4384}\\\Rightarrow a=2.67400481907\ m/s^2

The acceleration is 2.67400481907 m/s²

When the speed is halved

v=\dfrac{2\pi 2.4384}{\dfrac{6}{2}}=5.10697301768\ m/s

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{(\dfrac{2\pi 2.4384}{\dfrac{6}{2}})^2}{2.4384}\\\Rightarrow a=10.6960192763\ m/s^2

The acceleration is 10.6960192763 m/s²
