Answer:

Approximately 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Make use of the fact that total momentum is conserved in collisions.

The momentum of an object of mass m and velocity v is p = m\, v.

The momentum of the two trolleys before the collision would be:

  • 4\; {\rm kg} \times 0.5\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.
  • 3\; {\rm kg} \times 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Thus, the total momentum of the two trolleys right before the collision would be 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Since the two trolleys are stuck to one another after the collision, they could modelled as one big trolley of mass m = 3\; {\rm kg} + 4\; {\rm kg} = 7\; {\rm kg}.

The momentum of the two trolleys, combined, is conserved during the collision. Thus, the total momentum of the new trolley of mass m = 7\; {\rm kg} would continue to be v = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} shortly after the collision.

Rearrange the equation p = m\, v to find the velocity of the two trolleys combined:

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{7\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Gravitational force is directly related to mass and inversely related to distance. So the bigger the masses the greater the forc
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:Well according to the formula :

Fg = G • m1 • m2

__________

r^2

If one were to increase the masses of the objects it will have a direct impact on the gravitational force as well, as it increase the gravitational force. It is directly proportional to mass.

Distance on the other hand is inversely proportional to the gravitational force, basically increasing the distance between two objects of substantial mass causes a decrease of attraction or gravitational force between those 2 bodies of mass.
