Answer:

<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{2*5+8*0}{2+8}=\frac{10}{10}=1

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.

The initial speed of a body is 7.1 m/s. What is its speed after 2.23 s if it accelerates uniformly at 2.64 m/s 2 ? Answer in uni
Nana76 [90]

13.0m/s

1.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed of the body = 7.1m/s

time taken = 2.23s

Acceleration = 2.64m/s²

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

   a = \frac{V - U}{T}

a  = acceleration

V = final speed

U = initial speed

T = time taken

  Input the variables and solve for V;

 

   2.64 = \frac{V - 7.1}{2.23}  

  V - 7.1 = 5.9                              expression 1

  V = 5.9 + 7.1 = 13.0m/s

B

Using the same parameters, the speed after a uniform deceleration of -2.64m/s², the negative sign implies deceleration;

 from expression 1;

           V - 7.1  = -5.9

           V = -5.9 + 7.1 = 1.2m/s

A violin with string length 32 cm and string density 1.5 g/cm resonates in its fundamental with the first overtone of a 2.0-m or
love history [14]

Answer:

T=1022.42 N

Explanation:

Given that

l = 32 cm ,μ = 1.5 g/cm

L =2 m  ,V= 344 m/s

The pipe is closed so n= 3 ,for first over tone

f=\dfrac{nV}{4L}

f=\dfrac{3\times 344}{4\times 2}

f= 129 Hz

The tension in the string given as

T = f²(4l²) μ

Now by putting the values

T = f²(4l²) μ

T = 129² x (4 x 0.32²)  x 1.5 x  10⁻³ x 100

T=1022.42 N
