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."

It is known that the kinetics of recrystallization for some alloy obeys the Avrami equation, andthat the value of n in the expon
trapecia [35]

Answer:8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

n=5

0.3 fraction recrystallize after 100 min

According to Avrami equation

y=1-e^{-kt^n}

where y=fraction Transformed

k=constant

t=time

0.3=1-e^{-k(100)^5}

e^{-k(100)^5} =0.7

Taking log both sides

-k\cdot (10^{10}=\ln 0.7

k=3.566\times 10^{-11}

At this Point we want to compute t_{0.5}\ i.e.\ y=0.5

0.5=1-e^{-kt^n}

0.5=e^{-kt^n}

0.5=e^{-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5}

taking log both sides

\ln 0.5=-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5

t^5=1.943\times 10^{10}

t=114.2 min

Rate of Re crystallization at this temperature

t^{-1}=8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}

At what frequency should a 200-turn, flat coil of cross sectional area of 300 cm2 be rotated in a uniform 30-mT magnetic field t
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the coil is 7.07 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the coil, 200 turn

cross sectional area of the coil, A = 300 cm² = 0.03 m²

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 30 mT = 0.03 T

Maximum value of the induced emf, E = 8 V

The maximum induced emf in the coil is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

ω is angular frequency = 2πf

E = NBA(2πf)

f = E / 2πNBA

f = (8) / (2π x 200 x 0.03 x 0.03)

f = 7.07 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the coil is 7.07 Hz
