Two identical 0.50-kg carts, each 0.10 m long, are at rest on a low-friction track and are connected by a spring that is initial

ly at its relaxed length of 0.50 m and is of negligible inertia. You give the cart on the left a push to the right (that is, toward the other cart), exerting a constant 6.0-N force. You stop pushing at the instant when the cart has moved 0.60m . At this instant, the relative velocity of the two carts is zero and the spring is compressed to a length of 0.30 m. A locking mechanism keeps the spring compressed, and the two carts continue moving to the right. By what amount do you change the system's kinetic energy?

Answer:

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cart = 2

The mass of each cart = 0.5kg

The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m

The final length of the spring =T0.3 m

The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m

The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement

The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)

The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J

The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J

The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.

Calculate the force experienced by a positive test charge of 8.1 × 10-9 coulombs if the electric field strength is 9.4 × 107 new
luda_lava [24]
We can answer this problem by dimensional analysis. As we can see, the units of the electric field strength is newtons per coulomb. If we multiply a value with units of coulomb we will obtain newtons which is a units of force. 

Force = 9.4x10^7 N / C (8.1 x10^-9 C)
Force = 0.7614 N

Briefly describe factors and characteristics that influence conflict resolution.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Personal attitudes play a role in conflict resolution and include prejudices, biases, prior experience, and the level of importance of a topic to the parties involved. It is important to note that you can control your own attitude, but you cannot control the attitudes of others; it is necessary to focus on your attitudes and assumptions before you address the other party's. Next, you need to know what the nature of the conflict is, or what the conflict is about. It is necessary to know how severe the conflict is, how easily it can be resolved, how much sacrifice it will take to overcome, and how heated it is likely to get. Lastly, one needs to understand the capabilities of the people involved. Is everyone on the same level and do they have what they need to work on the conflict, i.e. money, time, and support?

leva [86]
The energy changes involved when a positive charge moves because of a nearby, negatively charged object because that is actually similar to when an object falls in a gravitational field, the potential energy of the object will turn in to a kinetic energy. thank you for this question.

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

  • quantity of charge transferred, Q=31\ C

<u>No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:</u>

As we have charge on one electron 1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C

so,

n_e=\frac{Q}{e}

n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n_e=1.935\times 10^{20} is the no. of electrons

  • Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require n=1.935\times 10^{20} molecules.

<u>Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:</u>

n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}

where

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} Avogadro No.

n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}

n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles

  • We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

<u>So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:</u>

n_m=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass in gram

3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}

m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g
