Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass

of 0.8 kg. The spring is released and causes the two carts to push off from each other. Which of the following correctly compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts?
A. Cart A experiences a greater force but has the same speed as Cart

B. Cart A experiences a greater force and has a greater speed after the recoil.

C. Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

D. Both carts experience the same force and have the same speed after the recoil.

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

F_A = -F_B

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3} is the density of gasoline at 0\°C

\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1} is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to m^{3}:

V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3} (1)

Knowing density is given by: \rho=\frac{m}{V}, we can find the mass m_{1} of 8.50 gallons:

m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V

m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor f by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o})) (3)

Where T_{o}=0\°C is the initial temperature and T_{f}=21.7\°C is the final temperature.

f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C)) (4)

f=1.020832 (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at 21.7\°C:

\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)

\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3} (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V (7)

m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3}) (8)

m_{2}=24.070 kg (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference \Delta m:

\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg (10)

\Delta m=0.4911 kg (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Measuring, comparing and estimating liquid volumes are taught using metric units like liters and milliliters and customary units like quart, pints, gallons and more. Capacity is actually the amount of liquid in the container, which is also the volume of a liquid.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A} , where:

l is the length

m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}

A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8}   \ m^2

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}

D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}

D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}

l^2 = 8.534\\l =   2.92 \ m

Which of the following best describes a vector?
garik1379 [7]

Vectors are used to represent physical magnitudes that have an associated address. For example, if we want to represent the displacement of an object, it is not enough to describe only the distance as 10 meters, it is also necessary to describe in which direction the displacement occurred, for example, 30 ° towards the northeast.

Therefore the vectors are measured in one or several dimensions that include a magnitude and an address.

The correct option is the last:

"<em>a measurement in more than one dimension that includes a magnitude and a direction</em>"
