Two trolleys are moving in the same direction along a track. Trolley 1 has a momentum of 2 kg m/s and Trolley 2 has a momentum o

f 6 kg m/s. Trolley 2 catches up to Trolley 1. They collide, stick together and move off with a velocity of 2 m/s. Use the principle of conservation of momentum to work out the combined mass of the trolleys.

Hi there!

Recall the conservation of momentum:

\large\boxed{m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_1v_1' + m_2v_2'}}

For this type of inelastic collision:

\large\boxed{m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)}}

Thus, the initial momentum equal the final momentum if there are no external forces.

We can begin by writing out this problem:

2 + 6 = v_f(m_1 + m_2)

8 = 2(m_1 + m_2)\\\\m_1 + m_2 = \boxed{4 kg}

Explain Newton's third law in your own words.
Kazeer [188]
Newton's third law states "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

What this is pretty much saying is that for every action, there is a consequence. One force connects and triggers another.

A 3.7-kg object is acted on by two forces. One of the forces is 11 N acting toward the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

F₂ = -7.3 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m₁ = 3.7 kg

First force, F₁ = 11 N

The net acceleration of the object is 1 m/s².

We know that,

F₁+F₂ = ma

11+F₂ = (3.7)(1)

F₂ = 3.7-11

F₂ = -7.3 N

so, the other force is 7.3 N and it is acting in west direction.

Un puente de acero de 100 m de largo a 8° C aumenta su temperatura a 24°C ¿Cuánto medirá su longitud? Valor del coeficiente de d
BartSMP [9]

La longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.

Asumamos que la dilatación <em>térmica</em> experimentada por el puente de acero es <em>pequeña</em>, de modo que podemos emplear la siguiente aproximación <em>lineal</em> para determinar la longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero (L), en metros:

L = L_{o}\cdot [1+\alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})] (1)

Donde:

  • L_{o} - Longitud inicial del puente, en metros.
  • \alpha - Coeficiente de dilatación, sin unidad.
  • T_{o} - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.
  • T_{f} - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si tenemos que L_{o} = 100\,m, \alpha = 11.5\times 10^{-6}, T_{o} = 8\,^{\circ}C y T_{f} = 24\,^{\circ}C, entonces la longitud final del puente de acero es:

L = (100\,m)\cdot [1+(11.5\times 10^{-6})\cdot (24\,^{\circ}C - 8\,^{\circ}C)]

L = 100.018\,m

La longitud <em>final</em> del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.
