A car increases velocity from 25 m/s to 50 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?

A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m

lbvjy [14]

The equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ (option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.

The horizontal momentum is given by:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg

m₂: is the mass of the object dropped = 2 kg

$v_{1}_{i}$ : is the initial velocity of the lab cart

$v_{2}_{i}$ : is the initial velocity of the object = 0 (it is dropped)

$v_{1}_{f}$ : is the final velocity of the lab cart

$v_{2}_{f}$ : is the final velocity of the object

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}$

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object will be the same, so:

$15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)$

Therefore, the equation $15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f}$ represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

What does an unconformity in a sequence of rock layers reveal about geologic history?

andreev551 [17]

An unconformity, or abnormality in the layers of rocks, signifies that the process of layering was somehow interrupted. The only feasible choice for this would be (B), where erosion would have interrupted the layering process.

How do scientists use inference?

alexgriva [62]

Their inferences are based on evidence that they collect during their investigations. Readers learn that scientists gather and interpret evidence and draw conclusions based on this evidence. ... Once scientists have gathered evidence, they use it to make inferences about the things they are investigating.

if somebody swim to the right for 30 meters then swims to left for 15 meters and then swims back to the right for 50 meters what

zubka84 [21]

50m

Explanation:

Displacement is the length of path traveled which is measured from start to the finishing of the path.

Analysis of the journey;

Starts from:

0 30m from right

15m to left

50m to right

The displacement is 50m from the starting point.

Distance is total path traveled and for this problem it is 30+ 15 + 50 = 95m

Two ions with masses of 4.39×10−27 kg move out of the slit of a mass spectrometer and into a region where the magnetic field is

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

7.2 cm

Explanation:

magnetic field, B = 0.301 T

speed, v = 7.92 x 10^5 m/s

mass, m = 4.39 x 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

The radius of singly changed ion is given by

$r = \frac{mv}{Bq}$

where, m is the mass of ion, v be the speed of ion, B is the magnetic field and q be the charge

$r = \frac{4.39\times 10^{-27}\times 7.92 \times 10^{5}}{0.301\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.072 m

r = 7.2 cm
