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

A major difference between AC and DC electricity is that A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction. B)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A)     the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full
inn [45]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

{\lambda} is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm
