Answer:
<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>
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 bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:
If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:
Since the total momentum is conserved, then:
P = P'
In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:
If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:
The common velocity after this situation is:
The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:
The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
Answer:
500000N/m²
5250N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Depth(H) = 50m
Density of water = 1000kg/m³
Acceleration of free fall = 10m/s
Unknown:
Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?
Solution:
Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height
Pressure in fluids = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height
Input the variables and solve;
Pressure in fluids = 1000 x 10 x 50 = 500000N/m²
B.
width of window = 150mm
height of window = 70mm
Force water exerts on the window = ?
To solve this problem;
Pressure =
Area of the window = width x height = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³
= 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
Force = pressure x area
Input the variables;
= 500000N/m² x 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²
= 5250N
