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.

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

 The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider
julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude.  This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave
