A 0.50-kg red cart is moving rightward with a speed of 50 cm/s when it collides with a 0.50-kg blue cart that is initially at re

st. After the collision, the blue cart begins moving rightward with a speed of 40 cm/s. The red cart is still moving rightward but has slowed down to a speed of 10 cm/s. Enter the momentum values (in kg•cm/s) of each individual cart and of the system of two carts before and after the collision. Also indicate the change in momentum of each cart.

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of red cart m1=0.5kg

initial velocity u1 of red cart=50cm/s

mass of blue cart m2=0.5kg

initial velocity u2 of blue cart= 0cm/s

final velocity v2 of blue cart= 40cm/s

final velocity v1 of red cart= 10cm/s

Step two:

Momentum values red cart before and after the collision.

Before collision

P1=m1u1

P1=0.5*50

P1=25kg•cm/s

After collision

P2=m1v1

P2=0.5*10

P2=5kg•cm/s

Change in momentum= P1-P2=25-5= 20kg•cm/s

Momentum values blue cart before and after the collision.

Before collision

P1=m1u1

P1=0.5*0

P1=0 kg•cm/s

After collision

P2=m1v1

P2=0.5*40

P2=20kg•cm/s

Change in momentum= P1-P2=0-20= -20kg•cm/s

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

Which of the following has the lowest U value?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

c. expanded polyurethane

Explanation:

Thermal performance of a building fabric is measured in terms of heat loss and is expressed as U-value or R-value. U-value is the rate of heat transferred through a structure divided by the difference in temperature across the structure with a unit of measurement of W/m²K.You can calculate the U-value of a by getting the reciprocal of the sum of thermal resistances , R, making the building material.

If you have the value of R, then U=1/R

Material                         size            R                      U

plywood                          1"              1.25                0.8

Poured concrete            2"              0.99               1.010

Expanded polyurethane  1"            6.5                   0.1538

Asbestos shingles            1"             0.03                33.33

The material with lowest U-value is expanded polyurethane

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?
lubasha [3.4K]
1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A
