The momentum of the red cart before the collision is 0.2 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.

The momentum of the red cart after the collision is 0.05 kgm/s and the blue cart is 0.15 kgm/s.

The change in momentum of the system of the carts is 0.

<h3>Initial momentum of the carts before collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts before the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 kg x 0.4 m/s = 0.2 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 x 0 = 0

<h3>Momentum of the carts after collision</h3>

The momentum of the carts after the collision is calculated as follows;

P(red) = 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05 kgm/s

P(blue) = 1.5 0.1 = 0.15 kgm/s

<h3>Change in momentum of the carts</h3>

$\Delta P = P_f - P_i$

ΔP = (0.05 + 0.15) - (0.2)

ΔP = 0

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57

Harlamova29_29 [7]

We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
$n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)$
Where $\theta_2$ differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, $\Delta x$ is the distance between both rays.
$\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705$
$\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21$
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
$d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m$
For red we have:
$d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m$
We finally have:
$\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m$

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°

We need to calculate the component

The velocity of the ship in term x and y coordinate

$v_{s_{x}}=0$

$v_{s_{y}}=2.0\ m/s$

The velocity of the boat in term x and y coordinate

For x component,

$v_{b_{x}}=v_{b}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{x}}=5.60\cos19$

$v_{b_{x}}=5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{b_{y}}=v_{b}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{y}}=5.60\sin19$

$v_{b_{y}}=1.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

For x component,

$v_{sb_{x}}=v_{s_{x}}-v_{b_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=0-5.29$

$v_{sb}_{x}=-5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{sb_{y}}=v_{s_{y}}-v_{b_{y}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=2.-1.82$

$v_{sb}_{x}=0.18\ m/s$

Hence, The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Compare the collision between two baseballs and a catcher's mitt.

Nookie1986 [14]

The applied force is different for the two cases

The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change

The case A involves the greatest force.

<h3>What is collision?</h3>

This is the head-on impact between two object moving in opposite or same direction.

The initial momentum of the two ball is the same.

P = mv

where;

m is the mass of each
v is the initial velocity of each ball

Since the force applied by the arm is different, the final velocity of the balls before stopping will be different.

Thus, the final momentum of each ball will be different

The impulse experienced by each ball is different since impulse is the change in momentum of the balls.

J = ΔP

The force applied by the rigid arm is greater than the force applied by the relaxed arm because the force applied by the rigid arm will cause the ball to be brought to rest faster.

Thus, we can conclude the following;

The applied force is different for the two cases
The case A with a greater force involves the greatest momentum change
The case A involves the greatest force.
