C4. A 50.0 kg boy runs at 10.0 m/s, jumps on a cart and rolls off at 2.50 m/s. What is the mass of the cart

Physics

Hunter-Best [27]2 years ago

Answer:

The mass of the cart is 150 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m₁ = 50 kg

Initial speed of boy, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car, u₂ = 0 (at rest)

The speed of the cart with the boy on it is 2.50 m/s, V = 2.5 m/s

Let m₂ is the mass of the cart. Using the conservation of momentum as follows :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\50(10)+m_2(0)=(50+m_2)(2.5)\\\\500=125+2.5m_2\\\\375=2.5m_2\\\\m_2=150\ kg

So, the mass of the cart is 150 kg.

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance? If we
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to ohm's law, the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current is that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage over resistance.

Mathematically,           I = \frac{V}{R}

From this relationship we can see that when we decrease the voltage, and do not change the resistance, the current will also decrease. As current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.

Anettt [7]
<h2>Time taken is 0.459 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = 81 km/hr = 22.5 m/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 49 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      22.5 = 0 + 49 x t

                      t = 0.459 seconds

   Time taken is 0.459 seconds
