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 truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Voltage needed to raise current to 3.75a using 20,20,200 resistor set
Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The voltage needed is 35.7 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Assuming that the resistors are arranged in parallel combination.

For the resistors arranged in parallel combination:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

We are given:

R_1=20\Omega\\R_2=20\Omega\\R_3=200\Omega

Using above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{200}\\\\\frac{1}{R}=\frac{10+10+1}{200}\\\\R=\frac{200}{21}=9.52\Omega

Calculating the voltage by using Ohm's law:

V=IR         .....(1)

where,

V = voltage applied

I = Current = 3.75 A

R = Resistance = 9.52\Omega

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

V=3.75\times 9.52\\\\V=35.7V

Hence, the voltage needed is 35.7 V
