A 250 g blob of clay moves with a speed of 15 m/s towards a 400 g cart that is initially at rest. a). What is the momentum of th

e system before the blob of clay strikes the cart? b). What must be the momentum of the system after they come together? ( Please note, a response of "the same " is insufficient and will result in minimal credit). c. If the blob of clay sticks to the cart, with what speed will the clay and cart move after they come together?

Hi there!

a)

We can use the following equation to solve for the momentum. Remember that momentum is ALWAYS CONSERVED.

p = m · v

Plug in the given values:

p = (.250) · 15 = 3.75 kgm/s

b)

The momentum of the system AFTER the collision will be the same because of a CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.

p_i = p_f

c)

We know that by the conservation of momentum:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁ '+ m₂v₂'

The second object (cart) is originally at rest, and the two objects move together after the collision, so:

m₁v₁ = (m₁ + m₂)vf

Solve by plugging in values:

(.250)(15)/(.250 + .400) = vf = 5.769 m/s

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.1 m. With what velocity did it leave the floor?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

4.64m/s

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ v = √2gh ] to solve for this problem. We know that g is constant acceleration (9.8), and h is height (1.1).

v = √2(9.8)(1.1)

v ≈ 4.64m/s

Best of Luck!

lesya [120]

Answer:

A: In all cases, the acceleration was the same.

Explanation:

I know this because its a clear obvious answer not only that it was one of my USA TESTPREP questions and it was right.

All you mainly have to do is the math - F=ma , In each case , the acceleration is 5 m/s squared

The rotating loop in an AC generator is a square 10.0 cm on each side. It is rotated at 60.0 Hz in a uniform field of 0.800 TO.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a square side loop of length 10cm

L=10cm=0.1m

Then, Area=L²

Area=0.1²

Area=0.01m²

Given that, frequency=60Hz

And magnetic field B=0.8T

a. Flux Φ

Flux is given as

Φ=BA Sin(wt)

w=2πf

Φ=BA Sin(2πft)

Φ=0.8×0.01 Sin(2×π×60t)

Φ=0.008Sin(120πt) Weber

b. EMF in loop

Emf is given as

EMF= -N dΦ/dt

Where N is number of turns

Φ=0.008Sin(120πt)

dΦ/dt= 0.008×120Cos(120πt)

dΦ/dt= 0.96Cos(120πt)

Emf=-NdΦ/dt

Emf=-0.96NCos(120πt). Volts

c. Current induced for a resistance of 1ohms

From ohms law, V=iR

Therefore, Emf=iR

i=EMF/R

i=-0.96NCos(120πt) / 1

i=-0.96NCos(120πt) Ampere

d. Power delivered to the loop

Power is given as

P=IV

P=-0.96NCos(120πt)•-0.96NCos(120πt)

P=0.92N²Cos²(120πt) Watt

e. Torque

Torque is given as

τ=iL²B

τ=-0.96NCos(120πt)•0.1²×0.8

τ=-0.00768NCos(120πt) Nm

If a person wanted to calculate how much kinetic energy an object has, the equation they would use would be: Question 2 options:
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is the energy a particle, body or object possesses due to its movement and is mathematically defined as:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity  of the body

So, if we want to calculate the kinetic energy KE of an object, we have to use the equation given above.
