Answer:

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

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

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

As the wavelength increases, the frequency (2 points) decreases and energy decreases. increases and energy increases. decreases

frozen [14]

Bohr's equation for the change in energy is
$\Delta E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}$
where
h = Planck's constant
c == the velocity of light
λ = wavelength.

The velocity is related to wavelength and frequency, f, by
c = fλ

Let us examine the given answers on the basis of the given equations.

a. As λ increases, f decreases and ΔE decreases.
TRUE

b. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE increases.
FALSE

c. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE decreases.
FALSE

Answer:
As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and energy decreases.

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_

Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

V = 24.25 cos(377 t)

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.

The radii of the sprocket assemblies and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are:

Furkat [3]

To solve this task we have to make a proportion, but firstly we have to set up all the main points : so, the distance is s=r(B), that has its r=radius,B=angle in rad velocity v=ds/dt= w(r)
Do not forget about w = angular speed in rad/s and $w1 = 1 revolution/sec = 2Pi (rad/s)$
Now we can go to proportion
$v1=v2$
$w1*r1 = w2r2$ $w2 = w1 * r1/r2 = 2w1 = 4Pi (rad/s)$
$w2 = w3 (which is the angular velocity of the rear wheel) 
$
SOLVING FOR A : $v3 = w3 * r3 = 4pi * 14 (inch/s) = 14.66 ft/sec$
$v3 = 14.66 ft/sec(1 mile/5280 ft)( 3600 sec/h)$ $= 9.99$ or something about 10 mph --- SOLVING FOR B.
I'm sure it helps!
