A 2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.5 kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts

are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract to one another; thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.5 m/s and the second cart's ve;ocity is -1.9 m/s. What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? What was the velocity of the forst cart when the second cart was still at rest?

Answer:

Part a)

P = 7.5 kg m/s

Part b)

v = 3.26 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that two carts are moving in opposite directions

so here total momentum of two carts must be given by vector subtraction

It is given as

P = m_1\vec v_1 + m_2\vec v_2

P = (2.3)(4.5) + (1.5)(-1.9)

P = 7.5 kg m/s

Now we know that total momentum of the system is conserved here as there is no external force on this system

so the speed of the first cart when second cart was at rest is given as

P = m_1 v_1 + 0

7.5 = 2.3 v

v = 3.26 m/s

What was the voltage on the battery for the #2 series circuit with two light bulbs?A: 4 VB: 18 VC: 4.5 VD: 9 V
Ghella [55]

We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:

R_t=R_1+R_2

That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:

V=IR

Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:

V=I(R_1+R_2)

what has more momentum, a baseball traveling at 4 m/s or a baseball traveling at 16m/s ? and which has more energy ?
Anna007 [38]
We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

Why does the frequency of water increase as the wavelength decreases?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Wave speed, frequency and wavelength in refraction

Explanation:

The diagram shows that as a wave travels into a denser medium, such as water, it slows down and the wavelength decreases. Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. Hope this helps :>
