A 500g cart moving at 0.25 m/s collides and sticks to a stationary 750g cart. How fast do the two carts
1 answer:
Answer:
0.1 m/s
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
Mass of 1st cart (m₁) = 500 g
Initial velocity of 1st cart (u₁) = 0.25 m/s
Mass of 2nd cart (m₂) = 750 g
Initial velocity of 2nd cart (u₂) = 0 m/s
Velocity (v) after collision =.?
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
(500 × 0.25) + (750 × 0) = v(500 + 750)
125 + 0 = v(1250)
125 = 1250v
Divide both side by 1250
v = 125 / 1250
v = 0.1 m/s
Thus, the two cart will move with a velocity of 0.1 m/s after collision.

Answer:
Hz
Explanation:
In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;
V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)
Where;
V = amplitude value of the voltage
ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]
Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.
<u><em>Now,</em></u>
From the question,
V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)
<em><u>By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;</u></em>
V = 230
ω = 100
Ф = 0
<em><u>But;</u></em>
ω = 2 π f = 100
2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]
π f = 50
f = Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is Hz
