A 21.0 kg shopping cart is moving with a velocity of 6.0 m/s. It strikes a 11.0 kg box that is initially at rest. They stick tog

ether and continue moving at a new velocity. Assume that friction is negligible. What was the momentum of the shopping cart before the collision? a) 66.0 kg-m/s b) 0 kg.m/s c) 126 kg.m/s d) 378 kg.m/s What was the momentum of the box before the collision? a) 66.0 kg.m/s b) 0 kg.m/s c) 378 kg-m/s d) 126 kg-m/s What is the velocity of the combined shopping cart-box wreckage after the collision? a) 6.0 m/s b) 3.9 m/s c) 0 m/s d) 11.5 m/s

Answer:

a) 126 kgm/s

b) 0 kgm/s

c) 3.9 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of momentum.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v, where

m1 = mass of the shopping cart, 21 kg

m2 = mass of the box, 11 kg

v1 = initial velocity of the shopping cart, 6 m/s

v2 = initial velocity of the box, 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the box+cart

a)

Momentum of the shopping cart before collision = P

P = mv

P = 21 * 6

P = 126 kgm/s = c

b)

Momentum of the box before collision

Like in question a above, the momentum of the box is P

P = mv

P = 11 * 0

P = 0 kgm/s = b

c)

Velocity of the combined shopping cart wreckage after collision is

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v

(21 * 6) + (11 * 0) = (21 + 11)v

126 + 0 = 32v

32v = 126

v = 126/32

v = 3.9375 m/s, on approximating to 1 decimal place, we have 3.9 m/s and option b as the answer.

As the distance between the sun and earth decreases, the speed of the planet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Increases. The force of gravity is distance dependent. Therefore, a smaller 'r' value will result in a larger force. Net force is proportional to the acceleration, so the planet will increase its speed.

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.
fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force N= mg cos 22

\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N

What are some factors that might stop a population's exponential growth
lyudmila [28]
So first of all, you might run out of food, which means that there wont be enough to sustain too many animals/people.
Or, you could simply run out of the space to have any more offspring. 
One final one is the introduction of a new predator, which would eat the population, making the growth unpredictable.

Hope this helped!!!! :D
