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

Gauss's law is usualy written as :
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

(a) the net charge inside the closed surface.

Explanation:

In Gauss' Law, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the Gaussian surface. This surface is usually taken as a symmetric geometric surface, but this is merely for simplicity. Gauss' Law holds for any closed surface. Inside this surface there can be insulators as well as conductors. Regardless of the geometry or the materials inside, Qencl refers to the net charge inside the closed surface. The charge outside the surface is irrelevant for Gauss' Law, therefore all the charge in the physical system is not included in Gauss' Law.

At the equator earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s.
Dafna1 [17]
The given velocity is 465 m/s.

Part a.
465 \,  \frac{m}{s} =(465 \times 10^{-3} \,  \frac{km}{s})*( 3600 \,  \frac{s}{h} ) = 1674 \,  \frac{km}{h}
Answer: 1674 km/h

Part b.
1674  \frac{km}{h} = (1674 \,  \frac{km}{h})*(24 \,  \frac{h}{day}  ) = 40176 \,  \frac{km}{day}
Answer: 40,176 km/day.

Average speed can be represented by the mathematical expression
nevsk [136]

Average speed is defined as total distance moved in total interval of time

so it is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}

now here is we show distance by "d" and time by"t"

then we will have mathematical expression as follows

v = \frac{d}{t}
