A 500g cart moving at 0.25 m/s collides and sticks to a stationary 750g cart. How fast do the two carts
Tresset [83]

Answer:

0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for explanation.

Mass of 1st cart (m₁) = 500 g

Initial velocity of 1st cart (u₁) = 0.25 m/s

Mass of 2nd cart (m₂) = 750 g

Initial velocity of 2nd cart (u₂) = 0 m/s

Velocity (v) after collision =.?

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

(500 × 0.25) + (750 × 0) = v(500 + 750)

125 + 0 = v(1250)

125 = 1250v

Divide both side by 1250

v = 125 / 1250

v = 0.1 m/s

Thus, the two cart will move with a velocity of 0.1 m/s after collision.

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) P=2450\ Pa

b) \delta h=23.162\ cm

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

P=\rho_w.g.h_w

we've the density of the water =1000\ kg.m^{-3}

P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25

P=2450\ Pa

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m

1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m

h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

\delta h=h_w-h_m

\delta h=25-1.838

\delta h=23.162\ cm

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti
Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Complete Question

A parallel-plate capacitor, with air dielectric, is charged by a battery, after which the battery is disconnected. A slab of glass dielectric is then slowly inserted between the plates. As it is being inserted,  

A :

a force repels the glass out of the capacitor.  

B :

a force attracts the glass into the capacitor.    

C :

no force acts on the glass.      

D :

a net charge appears on the glass.      

E :

the glass makes the plates repel each other.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Generally when the glass dielectric is slowly inserted between the plated,

The positive plate of the capacitor will induce a negative charge on the glass while the negative  plate of the capacitor will induce a positive charge on glass which a electric field that posses an electric force that will attract the glass
