A 3.91 kg cart is moving at 5.7 m/s when it collides with a 4 kg cart which was at rest. They collide and stick together.

Physics

Answer:

<em>The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

There is an m1=3.91 kg car moving at v1=5.7 m/s that collides with an m2=4 kg cart that was at rest v2=0.

After the collision, both cars stick together. Let's compute the common speed after that:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{3.91*5.7+4*0}{3.91+4}

\displaystyle v'=\frac{22.287}{7.91}

\boxed{v' = 2.82\ m/s}

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

Answer:

1) Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest):For example, pushing a heavy stone in order to move it. 2) May change the speed of an object if it is already moving. 4) May bring about a change in the shape of an object. For example, blowing air in balloon.

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac
Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:  

                                       λ = \frac{v}{f}

Where λ is the wavelength, v is the constant speed and f is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than 10^{19} Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

                                           (i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto
mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: <span>1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one. 

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.</span>

What is compression
Talja [164]
The answer is B) region of high pressure in a medium caused by a passing wave

Compression is the forcing of the molecules of a medium, be it water, air, or something else, as a wave passes by. This forcing together of the molecules raises the pressure of the medium in the area that the wave passes through.
