Two carts on an air track have the same mass and speed and are traveling toward each other. If they collide and stick together,

find the total momentum and total kinetic energy of the system.
Physics
1 answer:
lora16 [44]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

p = 0, K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2} (before collision), K_{B} = 0 (after collision).

Explanation:

The total momentum is obtained using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

m\cdot v_{A} - m \cdot v_{A} = 2\cdot v_{B}

It is trivial to find that final speed and total momentum of the system are zero:

p = 0

The total kinetic energy of the system becomes zero due to the inellastic collision and the same masses and speeds. Total kinetic energies before and after collision are, respectively:

K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2}

K_{B} = 0

How do i find the number of leptons in an atom??
Serjik [45]

Answer:

In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) that does not undergo strong interactions.[1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed. The best known of all leptons is the electron.

According to the ph scale, which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration
Damm [24]

Answer:

C) stomach acid

Explanation:

D is wrong due to water have very little to hydrogen ion concentration. tomato juice has acids but it doesn't remove things like stomach acid. oven cleaner does remove some items, but not in a fast fashion like stomach acid. Stomach acid is extremely acidic and will melt about anything that comes in contact. burn is known for doing serious damage if it gets past the stomach lining.

Masses are stacked on top of the block until the top of the block is level with the waterline. This requires 20 g of mass. What
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Mass of the wooden Block is 20g.

Explanation:

The buoyant force equation will be used here

Buoyant Force= ρ*g*1/2V Here density used is of water

m*g= ρ*g*1/2V

Simplifying the above equation

2m= ρ*V Eq-1

Also we know from the question that

ρ*V = m + 0.020 Eq-2 ( Density = (Mass+20g)/Volume )

Equating Eq-1 & Eq-2 we get

2m = m+0.020

m = 0.020kg

m = 20g

Food provide your body with
Levart [38]
The food you eat every day provides the nutrients you need to survive. These food components include the macronutrients – protein, carbohydrate and fat – that offer calories as well as play specific roles in maintaining your health. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, don’t act as an energy source but do serve a variety of critical functions to ensure your body operates as optimally as possible.
