A lab cart with a mass of 15 kg is moving with constant velocity, v, along a straight horizontal track. A student drops a 2 kg m

ass into it from directly above, and the cart continues moving. Which equation best represents the horizontal momentum in this situation? 15vi 2vi = 15vf 2vf 15vi 2(0) = 15vf 2vf 15vi 2(0) = (15 2)vf 15vi 2vi = (15 2)vf.

The equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} (option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.  

The horizontal momentum is given by:

p_{i} = p_{f}

m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = m_{1}v_{1}_{f} + m_{2}v_{2}_{f}

Where:

  • m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
  • m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
  • v_{1}_{i}: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{i}: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
  • v_{1}_{f}: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
  • v_{2}_{f}: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>

Then, the horizontal momentum is:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = 15v_{1}_{f} + 2v_{2}_{f}

When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:

15v_{1}_{i} + 2*0 = v_{f}(15 + 2)

Therefore, the equation 15v_{i} + 2*0 = (15 + 2)v_{f} represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.

A 45 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.8 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

change  in the gravitational potential energy of the bear-Earth system during the slide  = mgh

= 45 x 9.8 x 11

= 4851 J

b )

kinetic energy of bear just before hitting the ground

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 45 x 5.8²

= 756.9 J

c ) If  the average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear be F

negative work done by friction

= F x 11 J

then ,

4851 J -  F x 11 =  756.9 J

F x 11 = 4851 J -   756.9 J

= 4094.1 J

F = 4094.1 / 11

= 372.2 N

What is the mass of an object with a density of 18 g/cm3 and a volume of 25 cm3
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 0.72 grams

Explanation: Mass can be extracted from the formula of density. D=M/V where D is density and V is volume. Therefore:

18 g/cm^3 = M(25 cm^3) --> Divide by 18g/cm^3 by 25 cm^3 to isolate mass. --> <u>0.72 =M </u> --> Now, to find out which unit you need to use for mass, just look at the density. You can see it is in g/cm^3, and cm^3 was already used for the volume. Thus, gram units are left, so that will be the unit needed, making the final answer 0.72 grams. Hope this helps :)
